vaticans boldest modern declaration (1 resultados)

Booklet - Unbound Pages. Condición: Very Good. 33 pages. The doctrinal and strategic dimensions of papal infallibility as defined at the First Vatican Council. Ffoulkes explores the interplay between theological conviction and political necessity, arguing that the declaration served not only to affirm spiritual authority but to shore up the Popeâs temporal position amid mounting threats. The article surveys the roles of Manning, Ward, and the Jesuits, and considers how infallibility might be used to engrave papal sovereignty onto the conscience of the faithful. A particularly striking passage suggests that the Popeâs territorial claims could be secured more durably by dogma than by diplomacy - a vivid example of belief deployed as bulwark. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms.
