Question:
What exactly does ‘papal infallibility’ mean? How often have popes spoken infallibly?Msgr. Mitas' answer:
The Catechism of the Catholic Church speaks of a special charism of infallibility that is given to the Roman Pontiff. A charism is a special gift of the Holy Spirit, and this one enables the pope to teach and define the authentic doctrine of Jesus free from all error.A subscription is required to access this content.
