Papal infallibility

National Catholic Reporter,  Oct 3, 2003  by Monica Zabar

* John R. Koller wrote that infallibility is "a fundamental core doctrine of the church" (NCR Letters, Sept. 12). It is, in fact, a non-essential tradition established by Vatican I in the mid-19th century.

Infallibility, as Rosemary Radford Ruether writes, is "a sin against the Holy Spirit." Only God speaks infallibly.
