TocapoffthecaseofPopeLiberius asexpoundedbyMr.Tulloch,Iquote fromNewman's"HistoricalSketches," Vol2,p.340:"Itisastonishingtome howanyonecanfancythatLiberius, insubscribingtheArianconfession, promulgateditex-cathedra,considering hewasnothisownmasterwhenhe signedit,anditwasnothisdrawing up.Whowouldsaythatitwouldbe ajudgmentoftheQueen'sBench,or ajudicialactofanykind,ifribbonmeninIrelandseizedononeofher Majesty'sjudges,hurriedhimintothe wildsofConnemara,andtheremade him,underterrorofhislife,signa documentintheveryteethofan awardwhichhehadlatelymadein courtinaquestionofproperty.Surely foranexcathedradecisionofthe Popeisrequiredhisformalinitiation ofit,hisvirtualauthorshipinits wording,andhisutteranceamidhis court,withsolemnitiesparalleltothose anEcumenicalCouncil,Itisnot atransactionthatcanbedoneinhis travellingdress,insomeroadsideinn, ortown-tavern,orimperialservants hall.Liberius'ssubscriptioncanonly claimaNag'sHeadsortofinfallibility."

TheCouncilofBasle,thoughlawfullyconvoked,almostfromthestart workedinoppositiontothePope.

TheProtestant,C.A.Menzel,says vii.,127)thattheproceedingsofthe Councilwerecalculatedtoreducethe soleRuleroftheChurchtothepositionofamereservantoftheCouncil. WiththisobjetinviewtheCouncil,

followingtheideastheninvogue, taughtthattheGeneralCouncilhas poweroverthePopeandoverallmen; thattheGeneralCouncil,lawfullyconvoked,maynotbedissolved,transferred,orprotractedbytheRomanPontiffwithoutitsconsent;andthatwhoevershowshimselfobstinatelyopposed tothesetruthsmustbedeclaredaheretic,EugeneIV.naturallyshowed himselfobstinatelyopposedtothese "truths,"and,inconsequence,wasdeclaredahereticandformallydeposed bytheCouncilonJune25,1439.

Dollingerremarks(II.,1,339):"So shamelessaperversionandabuseof naturalorderandpositivejusticehad neveryetbeenknownintheChurch."

Butwhathasthisgottodowiththe InfallibilityofthePope?WasEugeniusahereticbecausetheAssemblyat Basledeclaredhimso?TheonlyconclusiontobedrawnfromthisunprecedentedactionisthattheFathersof theCouncilwentmuchbeyondtheir attributions.Itwouldbeeasytoturn theargumentagainstthemandprove themhereticshecasetheyhaddepartedfromtheconstantanduniversalbeliefoftheChurchinthismatter.This beliefwassolemnlyproclaimedin1439 attheCouncilofFlorence,whichwas acontinuationofthatofBasle,withouttheanomaliesofthelatter.

AnOecumenicalCouncilnowpronouncedthePopetobethehead,not merelyofindividualChurches,butof theChurchUniversal,toderivehis power,notfromthewillofthefaithful,butimmediatelyfromChrist,whose Vicarheis;andtobenotonlythe Father,butalsotheTeacher,towhom allChristiansowesubmission.

ThehistorianPastor,inhis"History ofthePopes,"remarks:"Thepublicationofthisdecisionwhichhasbecometheessentialfoundationofthe theologicaldevelopmentofthedoctrineofthePrimacy,wasamortal blowtotheveryrootoftheSchism"
