Identify Documents by the Pope that are infallible

[SFLCatholic]

Are you saying that the Catholic Magisterium does not know which past papal pronouncements are infallible?

Or are you saying they refuse to tell us?

He’s clearly telling you that if you want a list look at the Ten Commandments. Whats so hard about understanding that?

You purposely like to take things out of context and create some fictitious argument. Its pretty funny because it shows your ignorance.

If you have a source of where the RC Magisterium has infallibly listed all past infallible papal pronouncements, please post it here. I would love to see it.

…

You always ask for proof from others but never provide any yourself.

“Infallibly listed”? This makes absolutley no sense. Please explain.

Hey Manny,

Would you be my personal priest After you have been ordained can I come to you with any question? After all, I feel we already have a relationship and I feel I can trust you.

Yes. Sure. I would love too.

 

[ALLFORHIM]

Yes. Sure. I would love too.

I trust you enough. Pray for me though. Oh from 14 AUG to 02 SEPT 07; I was in the US visiting my sister.

I had fun. I’m now in Iraq so I’m home sick.

Anyways, I hope that this thread fill out some answers on infallibility.

I remember Jimmy Akin during a call was discussing whether or not (from a Non-Catholic caller) there was a list of infallible doctrines. He said there wasn’t. I think many Catholics here affirm that.

Jimmy point out that the Catechism does contain some infallible teaching but not all in the Catechism is infallible, like priestly celibacy.

If you happen to have a Podcast with Jimmy Akin on it from the last few days, you should be able to find out. I think it was a Question and Answer Session for Non-Catholics.

The discussion I believe did not mention a Pope; just the entire Church.

Have you listen to the Jimmy Akin on Catholic Answers Live?

I truly wish the infallible teachings in the CC would be asterisked or something. It would be interesting to know where there is room to discuss, and where there’s not. When I was in parochial school, things like limbo were taught right alongside of doctrine. It would have been nice to have known that limbo was a theory, not dogma. Such differences do indeed matter.

Celibacy is not a teaching. It is a discipline. Disciplines can change.

The Church is infallible in her teachings.
Thus all teachings in the Catechism that it presents as Church teachings, or the teachings of Jesus are the result of infallible teaching thus are without error.
Everything the Church teaches for all Christians is the result of infallible teaching authority.
The reason that the Church is infallable is because Christ is infallable and the Spirit is infallable. The CHURCH is the Body of Christ with Jesus as it’s head, therefore it cannot err when teaching. It is infallable.
Therefore you can trust all the teachings of the Catechism to be true. That is why the Pope said the Catechism is a sure norm for teaching the faith.
Of course this only applies to the official latin version of the Catechism.

The english version has at least one translation error I found in paragraph 125.
It reads,

"The Gospels are the heart of all the Scriptures “because they are our principal** source** for the life and teaching of the Incarnate Word, our Saviour”

The correct quotation from Vatican II, from the latin, that the Catechism cites should read,

The Gospels are the heart of all the Scriptures “because they are our principal witness for the life and teaching of the Incarnate Word, our Saviour”

All Church teachings, because they come from God fit together. If some one tries to change one teaching, it won’t fit with the others. That is how I found that translation error. Because the Church teaches the Gospel that the apostles PREACHED is the source of all saving truth and moral discipline, because it comes from Jesus who is the fullness of revelation.
Thus, Tradition is the original source of all the teachings of Jesus. The written Gospels, then could not the the prinicpal source of the teachings of Jesus, though they could be the principal source for the details of the life of Jesus.
