Infallible Teachings in the Catholic Church (Teaching Authority in the Catholic Church Episode 7)

"Obviously, a pope speaking on an airplane is very different than every bishop in the world agreeing about something. And bishops all agreeing that Jesus is the Son of God is very different than the bishops all agreeing that Jesus’s favorite food was, indeed bacon. So, when the Church teaches, the weight of the teaching is going to depend on the infallibility of the subject, the nature of the object, and the context."

Why does the Catholic Church have so many rules? And with over 2,000 years of councils, papal documents, and catechesis, does every Church teaching have the same amount of relevance today? In this series, Will Deatherage aims to explain the origins of the Church's teaching authority, how the Church exercises its teaching authority, and how to properly interpret magisterial documents.
