The Theological Defense of Papal Power by St. Alphonsus de Liguori: Catholic University of America, Studies in Sacred Theology, No. 119 - Hardcover

""The Theological Defense of Papal Power"" is a book written by St. Alphonsus De Liguori and translated by David John Sharrock. It is part of the Catholic University of America's Studies in Sacred Theology series, and is numbered 119. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the Catholic Church's doctrine of papal power, including its origins, development, and theological justifications. St. Alphonsus De Liguori, a prominent 18th-century Italian theologian and bishop, argues that the Pope is the supreme authority in matters of faith and morals, and that the Church's hierarchy is divinely ordained. He also defends the Church's use of excommunication and other disciplinary measures against those who challenge its authority. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Catholic Church, as well as for those seeking to understand the Church's stance on issues of power and authority.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
