Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays on the Church's Doctrinal Authority
A second theme on which I have laid stress, is the large extent of the Church's definitional Infallibility. See especially the Tenth Essay, with its two Appendices. The fundamental assumption of my argument in this Essay is, that the Church, if infallible at all, must necessarily possess whatever Infallibility she claims. As to this assumption, see what I have said in p. 322.
To my mind, the great interest and import ance of this second question is its intimate connection with the former. If the Church's infallible Definitions are as numerous as I believe them to be, - from this alone it would follow, that the loyal Catholic's mental attitude is predominantly one of intellectual captivity.
