A fallible list of infallible dogmas

Last month, Armstrong tried to answer the question, “Where can one find a list of infallible Catholic doctrines?”

However, that way of posing the question misses the point. The real question is, ”Where can one find an infallible list of infallible Catholics doctrines?”

What would be the point of having a fallible list of infallible dogmas? A fallible list might well be a list of fallible dogmas. So referring the reader to Ott or Denziger is no solution to the problem.
