There seems to be a radical misunderstanding of what the magisterium and the charism of infallibility are....There is a reference book known as "Denzinger" whose full title is “Compendium of Creeds..." with a “Systematic Index”

However, that is not an infallible document.

The teaching of Humani generis that Adam and Eve were real individuals is indeed an infallible expression of the ordinary and universal magisterium.

For a RC that is, based upon your judgment that that it is what was always taught everywhere, or as Rome defines always and everywhere. That the stories in Genesis were always held as being literal would be harder. However, i was addressing the premise that since something is taught in an encyclical then it is RC infallible, which it is not.

They do not understand that most of what they believe is anything but infallible !!

All one has to do to challenge whether the Church has always and everywhere taught that Adam and Eve were real individuals who actually committed a real sin is to produce evidence to the contrary.

God bless.
