Papal Infallibility, Invented Doctrine by an Accused Heretic

Do you know what Papal Infallibility means?

According to Clement H. Crock on his book, “Discourses On The Apostles’ Creed”:

“The term ‘infallibility’, then, as applied by Catholics to the Pope or to the supreme teaching authority in the Church, is defined thus: it is that singular privilege of being preserved from falling into error, or of not leading others into error, in matters of faith and morals. For the Church to be infallible, it means that singular privilege of being preserved from all danger of changing the doctrine of Jesus Christ, or of mistaking the true meaning of what the Divine Saviour taught, commanded, or forbade to do and believe.” (pp. 203-204)

And did you know that the Papal Infallibility doctrine is just an invention of an accused heretic?

This is what Dave Hunt wrote on his book, “Woman Rides the Beast”:

“Catholic Theologian Hans Kung writes:

“With regards to the origin of the Roman Doctrine of infallibility: … [it] did not slowly ‘develop’ or ‘unfold’, but rather was created in one stroke in the late 1200s [by] an eccentric Franciscan, Peter Olivi (d. 1298), repeatedly accused of heresy. At first no one took Olivi’s notion seriously. … The medieval canonists… had never claimed that the Church needed an infallible head to preserve its faith. … [And] the modern critical attack on the principles of infallibility has the backing of Scriptures and the body of Catholic tradition.” (p. 112)
