Exploring faith, authority, and history through a Catholic bishop’s view
This volume presents rigorous arguments about infallibility, the nature of faith, and the role of church leaders in guiding doctrine. It combines historical discussion with a defense of how believers discern truth, using the example of biblical and ecclesiastical witnesses.
Framed by a memoir and extensive notes, the work also traces the origins and uses of the Bulls of the Crusades, offering context for their religious and political impact. The text moves from theology to historical episodes, illustrating how doctrine has been taught and contested across ages.
