That's where I see the importance of the apostolic succession and the importance of the sacrament of holy orders.
playing into that well, whereas Protestantism, as much as church pastors are important, ultimately sola scriptura makes that really difficult for their authority to have that binding force amidst doctrinal uncertainty.
First, I would say that the question you raise could be understood as an impossible hypothetical.
So it's saying, you know, well, what if these people, you know, what if the bishops who claim to be the successors of the apostles teach something, they infallibly, because most of the teaching office of the Church is proposing doctrine, only in certain cases is it infallibly defined to say this cannot be an error.
Other things is just teaching is proposed, it must be believed, but it can be revisited, it can be amended as we get greater theological insight to it.
But the impossible hypothetical is what if they infallibly define something as true that turns out to be false?
And I would say, well, if they did that, Catholicism would be false, but they didn't, so it isn't.
Similar to someone who says, you believe in the Bible and it's without error, but what if the Bible had an error in it?
You might say, well, then it wouldn't be true, but it doesn't have an error, so it is true.
And I think that's a similar problem that's going to be raised, where if you say, here is my ultimate authority that can teach infallibly, a critic can say, yeah, but what if it's wrong?
And then you say, okay, well, do I have reason to think it's wrong?
You raise objections.
I don't find them to be compelling.
But ultimately, I bet the reason you believe the Bible is without error is not because you investigated all 2,000 alleged contradictions in it before you chose to believe.
I don't know any Christians who've done that.
Nobody does that.
They just know, look, and this is what I felt.
If there's a guy who walked out of his own tomb
and he believes in this, then I'm going to believe in it.
And I trust him.
