The Pope ( Du Pape ) is an 1819 book written by Savoyard philosopher Joseph de Maistre , which many consider to be his literary masterpiece.

Sovereignty of papal power [ edit ]

Maistre argues that, in the Church , the Pope is sovereign , and that it is an essential characteristic of all sovereign power that its decisions should be subject to no appeal.

Role of papal infallibility [ edit ]

Maistre mostly writes from the perspective of the ordinary magisterium having an infallible character, whereas the First Vatican Council defined a dogma on the infallibility of the extraordinary papal magisterium , in the limited circumstances when the Pope decides that it is time to define a dogma. Nevertheless, among modern theologians it is generally agreed that certain forms of the ordinary magisterium can at times be infallible, such as the bull Apostolicae curae or the encyclical Ordinatio sacerdotalis , as John Paul II explained in Ad Tuendam Fidem .

Relations with temporal powers [ edit ]

Maistre examines the relations of the pope with temporal powers.

Relations with schismatic Churches [ edit ]

As to the schismatic Churches, Maistre believed that they would fall into philosophic indifference as Catholicism was the only religion fully capable of being compatible with science. ^[1]
