Christianity and Infallibility Daniel Lyons

Excerpt from Christianity and Infallibility: Both or Neither To explain, establish, and defend this thesis is the object of the following Chapters. By Christianity I mean that body of sacred truths which the Almighty revealed through the min istry of Christ and His Apostles. What I mean by Infallibility is fully explained in Chapter I. To the exposition there given it may be objected that it is too scientific, and will, in its many and sometimes perhaps subtle distinctions, appear unreal to the ordi nary reader. But how otherwise explain fully and accurately, and in a manner to preclude misconcep tion, the Catholic dogma. Any one at all acquainted with non-catholic views of the subject knows that the majority of objections to the dogma arise from a misunderstanding of its true scope and meaning. For this reason it seemed to me that the end I had in view demanded such an exposition as I have given. To assure the reader that this exposition is trust worthy, I have given frequent references to standard writers on the subject, and where available I have given their very words in preference to my own.
