Synopsis
Excerpt from The Destiny of Man Proved From Reason: And the Infallibility of the Catholic Church Proved From Reason and History
Give a br1ef refutation of such before I could enter on the subject. The immortality of the soul, the free-will of man and the eternally happy end for which God created him form the basis on which I had to build my arguments. After re futing the above mentioned errors, I showed that the means for arriving at the truths of supernatural revelation can neither be the Bible nor human reason. This naturally leads us to inquire whether God established a supreme and visible authority to govern and teach His church, and whether that supreme authority, ln 1ts official capacity, or ex cathedra, is infallible in teaching faith and morals. But before We come to consider this, it must be shown that Christ was on earth and founded a church, and that He is God as well as man; then we must have a clear conception of the essential ele ments of society in general. It is impossible to have a distinct idea of the church founded by Christ unless we under stand of what elements it is composed. We must, then.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a pioneering approach to the association between the infallible authority of the church and the destiny of man. The author, a theologian, departs from the conventional analytical method. Instead, he adopts a holistic and accessible approach, drawing on insights from metaphysics and scripture. The book begins by delving into the fundamental nature of human destiny, exploring the immortality of the soul, free will, and the existence of God. It is argued that the destiny of man is intrinsically linked to the divine and supernatural realm. The author then examines the Bible and human reason as potential sources of divine revelation. However, he contends that neither is sufficient to provide the necessary certitude and guidance for attaining salvation. He stresses the need for an infallible authority to interpret and transmit divine truths. The book concludes by establishing the Catholic Church as the bearer of this infallible authority. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the church's divine origin, its visible and hierarchical structure, and the role of the papacy. This analysis reveals the church as the indispensable mediator between God and man, guiding humanity toward its ultimate destiny in eternity. Overall, this book offers a profound examination of the church's infallible authority and its implications for human destiny. It presents a compelling synthesis of faith and reason, offering a roadmap for navigating the complexities of the spiritual journey.
