The doctrinal and structural revolution currently underway in the
Roman Catholic Church is alarming for several reasons, not least
because of the arbitrary nature of its imposition and the absence
of resistance it has encountered. The reluctance of many to
challenge the authority of the pope, tied to the increasing
personal veneration by the faithful of each successive incumbent of
the Holy See, is arguably a symptom of unresolved unclarity
surrounding the nature of authority in the Church dating back to
the First Vatican Council. In Infallibility, Integrity and
Obedience, John Rist unflinchingly exposes the developments that
have bred this crisis of understanding - and the resulting
rejection of tradition in the papal agenda - over the past hundred
and fifty years. Reserving particular attention for the Roman
Catholic dilemmas, political and theological, of the 1930s, the
mid-twentieth-century debates on reproductive technology, and the
advent of 'celebrity autocracy', he shows how a misapprehension of
the nature and definition of papal infallibility is at the root of
the major issues facing the Church today. Most importantly, he
proposes how the conciliar and individual decisions that have led
to the current situation might be reversed, and how the proper role
of the Pope can be reclaimed for the good of the Church. Â
