Publisher's Synopsis
The book titled ""The Doctrine of Papal Infallibility Stated and Vindicated, with an Appendix on Civil Allegiance, and Certain Historical Difficulties"" was written by John Walsh in 1875. This book is a detailed examination of the doctrine of papal infallibility, which is the belief that the Pope is incapable of making errors when speaking on matters of faith and morals. The author presents a comprehensive argument in favor of this doctrine and defends it against various objections raised by critics. The book also includes an appendix that discusses the issue of civil allegiance, which is the question of whether Catholics owe their loyalty to the Pope or to their country's government. In addition, the book addresses certain historical difficulties that have arisen in relation to the doctrine of papal infallibility, including controversies involving previous Popes and their pronouncements. The author provides a thorough analysis of these issues and offers his own perspective on how they should be understood in light of the doctrine.Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Catholic Church, particularly as it relates to the doctrine of papal infallibility. The author's clear and concise writing style makes it accessible to a wide range of readers, from students to scholars to general readers interested in the topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
