The Gift of Infallibility

Theology

“We are in debt to Father O’Connor for this excellent English translation that makes available a major theological source on the doctrine of the infallibility of the Church’s teaching office. Bishop Gasser’s relatio at the First Vatican Council is utterly indispensible for understanding the gift of infallibility that Christ bestowed on his Church. Recent controversies as well as statements from the magisterium show the enduring importance of Gasser’s relation. The Gift of Infallibility belongs on the bookshelf of every serious student of ecclesiology.”
