The Church Fathers taught papal Infallibility ,so it was dogmatic in a sense way before 1870 and was not completely defined.
Hmmm, what did Early Church Fathers say about papal infallibility?
Pope John XXII (1316-1334) went so far as to call it (papal infallibility) “…a work of the devil…the Father of Lies.” and in 1324 actually issued a papal bull condemning it as heresy.
Was this Pope considered a church father?

Let me know if you get an answer. It'd be interesting to hear how Catholics can reconcile the pronouncements of one pope ve another.
Which is *infallible* I wonder...

“one pope over another” that is.
