[ansel12]

They do what you just did there, they twist things and are slippery and evasive.

Is there really no simple answer for such a simple question, if you believe that he is doing it?

“who decides if the Pope is being infallible, and where is the information coming from, that he is delivering to you infallibly?”

[Mrs. Don-o]

It’s slippery and evasive to provide a link to the original text? You can’t be serious.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Here's 48 sources. The key here, Ansel12, as in all things Catholic, is a Hermeneutic of Continuity. The Pope demonstrates that the dogma is rightly anticipated by or foreshadowed by Scripture, and consistent with what has been taught by Fathers and Doctors of the Church, as well as Magisterial documents, through the centuries.

Tolle, lege.
