Temporary infallibility

I agree with Weishaupt that the exclusion of women from priestly ordination was declared infallibly by Pope St. John Paul II in Ordinatio sacerdotalis (1994), that such a ruling must be definitively held by all the faithful as a “secondary object of infallibility” 


In light of Rome's doctrine of development, Catholic theology needs a new category: temporary infallibility. Dogma is temporarily infallible until the next pope whips out his eraser.

  1. Interesting that you brought this up. I was doing some light reading this morning:

    Joseph Ratzinger's Theology of the Word

    And the author says this: "there is no doubt as to the contemporary relevance of the theology of Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI."

    I guess the joke's on him!
