[Peter Nguyen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Let me preface that my review is really less about this work, where Bp. Fessler excellently defends (although maybe in too long-winded of a fashion) the strict criteria of Papal infallibility given at Vatican I (ex cathedra definition on faith or morals).

Rather, I read this book because Erick Ybarra, of Classical Christian Thought, referenced it in a discussion regarding "Papal minimalism." This book, through no fault of its own, does not broach the topic of whether there exists a Magisterial "charism of safety," a theological opinion still left unresolved (from my read, at least thus far).
