On the Pope Du Pape is an 1819 book written by Savoyard philosopher Joseph de Maistre , which many consider to be his literary masterpiece. Sovereignty of papal power The work is divided into four parts. In the first he argues that, in the Catholic Church Church , the Pope is sovereignty sovereign , and that it is an essential characteristic of all sovereign power that its decisions should be subject to no appeal. Role of papal infallibility According to Maistre, the Pope is consequently papal infallibility infallible in his teaching, since it is by his teaching that he exercises his sovereignty. Maistre s argument in favor of papal infallibility stands out in the history of theology because he was among the earliest Catholic writers to openly discuss the doctrine, which was not dogmatic definition dogmatically defined until the end of the 19th century. Maistre mostly writes from the perspective of the ordinary magisterium having an infallible character, whereas the First Vatican Council defined a dogma on the infallibility of the extraordinary magisterium extraordinary papal magisterium , in the limited circumstances when the Pope decides that it is time to define a dogma. Nevertheless, among modern theologians it is generally agreed that certain forms of the ordinary magisterium can at times be infallible, such as the bull Apostolicae Curae or the encyclical Ordinatio Sacerdotalis , as John Paul II explained in Ad Tuendam Fidem . Relations with temporal powers In the remaining divisions the author examines the relations of the pope and the temporal powers, civilization and the welfare of nations, and the schism religion schismatic Churches. He argues that nations require protection against abuses of power by a sovereignty superior to all others, and that this sovereignty should be the papacy, the saviour and maker of European civilization.

The term biblical authority refers to the extent to which propositions within the Old and New Testament scriptures are authoritative over human belief and conduct, as well as the extent to which their propositions are accurate in matters of history and science. Biblical authority entails but is not exhausted by questions raised by biblical inerrancy , biblical infallibility , biblical interpretation , biblical criticism , and Biblical law in Christianity . During the late 1970s and early 1980s, a debate over biblical authority arose between Jack B. Rogers and Donald K. McKim , on the one hand, and John D. Woodbridge , on the other. Rogers and McKim, in their 1979 book, The Authority and Interpretation of the Bible An Historical Approach , advanced the view that the Bible has authority over social endeavors, such as imperatives for conduct, for church organization, and for the articles of faith, but isn t necessarily reliable in its reportage of historical events and scientific facts. The belief that Scripture is inerrant in matters of history and science, argued Rogers and McKim, constituted a 19th century innovation. Woodbridge challenged this thesis in his 1982 book Biblical Authority A Critique of the Rogers McKim Proposal , arguing that for each of those categories, God s Word has authority and is without error. Moreover, Woodbridge asserted that this particular rendering of biblical authority had been the normative, orthodox position throughout the history of Christianity.
