INFALLIBLE
What Is Infallibility?
Infallibility means "without error."
In theology, it signifies the belief that the Scriptures, in their original form (the autographs), were without error. Furthermore, the divine documents were inerrant in all areas of knowledge—history, science, moral teaching, and religious instruction (cf. Psa. 119:160 ASV).
While there certainly are differences in parallel narratives (which show a lack of collusion on the part of the writers), there are no bona fide contradictions.
Roman Catholicism asserts the dogma of "Papal Infallibility," the idea that the Pope speaks without error when he speaks ex cathedra ("from the chair") on matters of morals and doctrine. This teaching was promulgated initially at the First Vatican Council in 1870 and lacks any semblance of biblical sanction.
