Two dogmatic constitutions were voted on during the council, Dei Filius on the relationship between faith and reason; and Pastor Aeternus on the centrality of the Pope’s authority and his personal infallibility in matters of doctrine. The latter claimed that “a primacy of jurisdiction over the whole Church of God... Read more
