Listener,Sydney:Icouldnotacceptthe infallibilityofanyman.

BelievinginGodandin Hisomnipotence,Icertainly believethatitisnotbeyond God'spowertodothis.But Imustaskyoutothink againaboutyourownstatement. YouhavefrequentlyappealedtotheBibleasthe WordofGod.Youhave probablyheardtheexpression:"Thatisthegospel truth!"Doyoubelievein theabsolutetruthofthe Gospels?
Butwhatguaranteeis therethattheycontainthe truth,eitherwhollyorin part,iftheevangelists,St. Matthew,St.Mark,St.Luke andSt.John,werenot divinelysafeguardedbyGod againstfallingintoerror?
Butthathasnothingto dowithhisinfallibilityin hisofficialcapacityonthose rareoccasionswhen*definessomearticle the Christianfaith.
AllthatCatholicsarerequiredtobelieveisthatGod Himself,forthegoodofHis Church,willbyHisdivine powerpreventthePope fromofficiallydefiningas anarticleoffaithwhatis infacterroneous.
Godcanpreventevena badPopefromdoingthat. EvenleavingGodoutofit, itisquitepossiblefora persontodothewrong thinginpracticehimself, yettellotherstheright thing.
OurLordHimselfmade thatdistinctionwhen,speakingofthePharisees,Hetold thepeoplethat,sincethe Phariseeshadofficialauthoritytoteach,itwasnecessarytodoastheysaid.But Headded:"Don'tdoasthey do;fortheysay,anddonot."
OnaSunday,then,St. Johnwasfilledwiththe propheticspiritandbidden byaheavenlyvoicetocommittowritingwhateverwas manifestedtohim. Hisfirstdutywastowrite messagesofbothcommendationandreproachtothe sevenchurchesinAsia Minor,urginggreaterfidelityintheirapostolicwork.
Iftheywerenotrendered infallibleatthetimeofwritingtheGospelsandforthe purposeofrecordingthe WordofGod,wehaveno absoluteguaranteethatthe GospelsconstitutetheWord ofGod.
ThewritersoftheGospels weremen,anditwouldbe interestingtohearhowyou faith pelswithyourdeclaration thatyoucouldnotaccept"theinfallibilityofany man!"
However,wheretheCatholicChurchisconcerned, wehavethespecialpromise ofOurLordthattheHoly Spiritwillsafeguarditin truth,andthatSt.Peterand hissuccessorswillconfirm allothersinthefaith.
Thatnecessarilyinvolves theinfallibilityofthePopes intheirofficialteaching capacity.
Q.:TheBookofDaniel,also, c.12,verses1-3,seemsto refertotheSecondComingofChrist.
Q.:Iftheydonotrefertoa generationofthedead, justpriortothecoming ofChrist,whatdoI Thess.,4:16-17,andICor., 15:52mean?
R.:Theyrefertoallpast generationsofthedead.In Jn.5:28-29,ChristHimself said:"Thehourcometh whenallthatareinthe gravesshallhearthevoice oftheSonofGod;andthey thathavedonegoodthings shallcomeforthuntothe resurrectionoflife;butthey thathavedoneevil,untothe resurrectionofjudgment."
St.Paul,writingtothe Corinthiansintheverseyou mention,declaresthatthe resurrectionofthedeadwill occurinstantaneouslywhen Christcomesagain,their bodieshavingundergonea mysterioustransformation fromcorruptibilitytoincorruptibilityandthereforeimmortality.

Q.:Therearemanyother versesintheBiblereferringtoassociatedevents, suchasRev.,1:10.

Q.:Couldyoupleaseexplain howhell,purgatory,and limbocanberelatedto this?
