Papal Teaching in the Age of Infallibility, 1870 to the Present

History & Biography

“Kevin Keating may not be infallible, but his careful, lawyer-like review of the doctrine of infallibility informs, instructs, and challenges. Vatican II introduced the bishops as a competing platform in matters of faith and morals. The jury is still out whether this strengthens the institutional church or divides it. One thing is certain—Keating’s book deserves serious study by those seeking to understand the church in the twenty-first century.”
