The reluctance of many to challenge the authority of the pope, tied to the increasing personal veneration by the faithful of each successive incumbent of the Holy See, is arguably a symptom of unresolved unclarity surrounding the nature of authority in the Church dating back to the First Vatican Council. In Infallibility, Integrity and Obedience, John Rist unflinchingly exposes the developments that have bred this crisis of understanding - and the resulting rejection of tradition in the papal agenda - over the past hundred and fifty years. Reserving particular attention for the Roman Catholic dilemmas, political and theological, of the 1930s, the mid-twentieth-century debates on reproductive technology, and the advent of 'celebrity autocracy', he shows how a misapprehension of the nature and definition of papal infallibility is at the root of the major issues facing the Church today. Most importantly, he proposes how the conciliar and individual decisions that have led to the current situation might be reversed, and how the proper role of the Pope can be reclaimed for the good of the Church.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0227179390\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"b5gxku-b8cfjw-5u4gd1-azkpmy\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0227179390\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"c0y9tf-cnjltw-vlhmhd-tgjwyc\" data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0227179390\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"24zl53-9sb9lu-4ovsyw-91aa06\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-1\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"3ofq7u-n41uke-h51jqw-rea4mh\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstanceIPiUSOe0DTdF68-3xt7u4w\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_0\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"0227179390\" data-customer-id=\"\" data-marketplace=\"ATVPDKIKX0DER\" data-session-id=\"142-7451779-2897215\" data-logged-in=\"false\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47314800541908,"sku":"TVJ-013026","price":28.75,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/Infallibility_IntegrityandObediencebyJohnM.Rist_2.jpg?v=1764817618","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/infallibility-integrity-and-obedience-by-john-m-rist","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
