Not *quite* an unbiased source, it would seem, but a very informative
one. Thanks, Stefaan!
>...This pamphlet claimed that while Italy had two hundred and seventy
bishops, the rest of Europe had only two hundred and sixty-five. Closer
scrutiny reveals that twelve million German Roman Catholics were represented
by nineteen bishops while seven hundred thousand inhabitants of the Papal
States were represented by sixty-two. Three anti-Infallibilist Bishops of
Cologne, Paris and Cambrai represented five million souls....
Has this situation been significantly altered?
>Bishop... of Diakovar [?] told Lord Acton....
Say, that's the guy who said "Absolute power corrupts absolutely," ain't it?
I always assumed that he was speaking of matters *political*.
>"Witnesses of tradition?" said the Pope, "There is only one; that's me."
Obviously not speaking with Infallibility in matters of Grammer.
Like they say, "St Ylesheet, orans per nus."
Best to all from here,
Crockers
