Entry: The Impresario Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_impresario#18563 Post contents: I am not Spartacus: No, not all encyclicals are infallible, nor are all statements inside of all encyclicals infallible. They are infallible only if and when the Pope is making a solemn ex cathedra statement within the context of an encyclical, or when the Pope is using the encyclical to pronounce ordinary magisterial teachings. See the definition of papal infallibility from Vatican I and point out where it says: all encyclicals are infallible. I have never read Buckley's letter. For all I know it is bad. My point is that Mr. Capp makes allegations against Buckley without quoting him directly, or when he does quote him, the allegation doesn't stick. Sent at: 2008 11 21
