The Three Attributes of the Church: Indefectibility, Infallibility & Visibility ~ Fr. Ripperger

About this sermon

What are the attributes (properties) of the Church—and how are they different from the marks (one, holy, catholic, apostolic)? In this conference we unpack the classic Catholic teaching that the Church’s essential properties—Indefectibility, Infallibility, and Visibility—accompany her until the end of time. You’ll learn: Why “attributes” are properties that always accompany a thing’s essence What indefectibility really guarantees (and doesn’t) How infallibility works across the Pope, councils, the bishops dispersed, solemn condemnations, the Fathers, the theologians (1100–1750), and the sensus fidelium What visibility means (faith, sacraments, governance as sensible bonds) Clarifications on papal statements, canonizations, Vatican I/II, and common misunderstandings Q&A on “what if the Pope tried to define X,” contraception & the sensus fidelium, and the length of the days of creation If you’ve ever wondered whether Church teaching can change—or how we know what must be held “of the faith”—this talk gives precise, classical answers.
