doctrine of papal infallibility is the impossibility of the church falling into error. It is believed to have begun with the council of Trent (960) and the First Vatican Council (1828), both of whom believed that the bishops are the successors of the apostles.

Infallibility: A Mistaken Concept A person's assumption that they are not infallible is not based on systematic calculation of his own mistakes; rather, it is based on certain facts that he has observed, which leads him to make certain predictions. Firstly, a person realizes in his perception of other individuals, that all people make mistakes, and therefore assumes that the same applies for himself. This proof manifests itself in all as aspects of life. A student in Calculus class furiously
at an end. But when the Pope returned he was intent on restoring temporal, as well as spiritual, control. The Papal States were divided into seventeen provinces, five of which were under the authority of Papal Legates, or Cardinals, who acted as provincial governors. The remainder, which were nearer Rome, were controlled by priests known as Delegates. The whole administration of the Papal States was in the hands of the clergy. The lay people had no part in government, apart from a few lay members
The Extent to Which the Lack of Popular Support was the Main Reason for the Weakness of Italian Nationalism in the Period 1815-1848 Since the fall of the Roman Empire in the 6th century, Italy had been a divided nation. The French had divided it into 11 independent states and principalities prior to invasion in 1789. This meant that there was little communication between the states and their rulers. However, after the invasion of Italy by Napoleon the number of states was reduced and the

a statue of Apollo from his church of St. Peter in Chains, and placed it in the courtyard of the Belvedere Palace. In 1506, the Laocoon was added, and thus began what is now known as one of the greatest collections of artwork in the world[i]. The papal authority was one of the first to open their art collections to the public, thereby encouraging knowledge of art history and culture[ii]. The collections began with Pope Julius II; but, the museums as we now know them were begun under the patronage
The revolutionaries in Italy had longstanding grievances, some were nationalists and some were liberals. Despite all having different ideas and aims they all resoundingly agreed that Italy needed change. The hopes of the various revolutionary groups had been raised by the election of Pope Pius and Charles Albert the King of Piedmont Sardinia. However, their hopes and resulting revolutions were crushed due to many concerning factors. A crushing factor of the failure of the revolutions was the trouncing
span was part of the fourth age: a time of indifference. The fifth age, would be filled with the persecution of the Antichrist. Savonarola never lived to witness the day the Borgia Pope died; his death can be interpreted as the persecution of the papal Antichrist. This defeat would usher in the sixth age of renovation when pagans and other infidels would be converted to rejoice under the true faith. This one flock would then be able to rejoice in a millennium of heavenly peace. Both men, as different
After Napoleon had been defeated in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, the Congress of Vienna was held the same year under the control Foreign Minister Metternich's leadership. In this conference Austria was given control of the Italian states of Venetia and Lombardy, in compensation for her loss of Belgium. This led to the Germanisation and domination of Austria over the Italian states it had obtained. All schools were carefully censored, the press was rigidly controlled, and all this was supported
Moreover, for the full understanding of our analysis, it is really important to focus also on Dante 's political treaty titled 'de Monarchia ', which suggested the division of the temporal power from the spiritual one, whose theory was seen as extremely innovative for Dante 's time. In addition, Dante 's universal Monarchy became a very controversial topic during the Middle Ages, as he theorised that the Communes had the need to keep their own autonomy from Pope 's political interference. Dante
The Extent to Which Austria was the Main Obstacle to the Unification of Italy in the Period 1815-1849 In the period immediately after the Vienna settlement in 1815 and up to the widespread revolutions throughout Europe and especially Italy in 1848 and 1849, the prospect of a united Italy seemed almost a distant dream. There were a range of obstacles in between progress to a unified state. These included the outright strength of foreign powers and in particular of Austria in suppressing revolution
Pope Francis who's full name is Jorge Mario Bergoglio is currently the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church. Bergoglio was born on December 17, 1936 to Mario Jose Bergoglio and Regina Maria Sivori. Francis was the first Pope that has ever been from the Americas, since his birthplace was Buenos Aires, Argentina, so this makes him the first non-European Pope in over one thousand years. In this Pope’s childhood he overcame a serious and almost fatal problem. Francis had to have a lung removed at a young
“What a treasure there is, dear brothers and sisters, in the guidelines offered to us by the Second Vatican Council, a sure compass by which to take our bearings in the century now beginning.” -Pope John Paul II (Vatican2voice.org, 2015). The Second Vatican council held a large significance for the Catholic Church in the 20th century, altering and developing the Church for the better.

It is clear that between 1540 & 1559 that the Catholic Church became increasingly intolerant of debasement and dissent. This is mostly due to the leaders that came to the papal throne within this period. Between 1540 & 1559 there was a variety of pope’s with very differing views on how to contend with the issues of Protestantism, debasement and dissent. The pope of 1540 was Pope Paul III, and was the most contemporary Pope of the time, with strong views towards Catholic Reform. Having taken over
There is not a single person who has avoided being wrong throughout his or her entire life, or maybe even day. But also, nobody, or at least very few, accept fallibility as tolerable. Throughout history, there have been people who refuse to be wrong, and it often has lead to despondency. Although everyone wants to be right, fallibility is a necessary step to avoiding harm and improving the world. Nobody wants to be wrong. It is associated with “shame, stupidity, ignorance, indolence, psychopathology
a new pope is elected by the College of Cardinals. The dogma of papal infallibility is also based on inference from the same words of Jesus in Matthew 16:18-19.

An additional thing Jan Hus believed was, “Hus also opposed the relatively new doctrine of Papal infallibility when Papal decrees contradicted the Bible,” as stated by a text on Jan Hus by Hotel Prague City.

state it was before the First World War, bringing about a number of reforms to further the Germany he envisioned. One of the main conflicts Bismarck encountered was with the Catholic Church. The problem of dual loyalty with Germany and papal infallibility, and the threat the well organised Church was to Bismarck, resulted in political war. Bismarck aimed: "to subdue all people, Protestants and Catholics alike, to the triumphant power of the State." This was the Kulturkampf, 'culture battle'
