The Question of Papal Infallibility\u003c\/i\u003e, Geis argues that the Vatican I proclamation on papal infallibility is directly rendered uncertain, if not outright discredited and disproved, by three passages in Scripture (Mt. 18:18, Lk. 10:1-16, 1 Cor. 10:4). Lexical inquiry into other Scriptural passages dealing with the Scriptural terms \"rock\" and \"cornerstone\" solidify this claim. Scrutiny of Patristic sentiment adds to the evidence, as does dating \u003ci\u003eActs'\u003c\/i\u003e record of Peter's missionary activities. History shows a tension between wayward papal conduct and dogmatic claims, as well as records of excommunicated popes. 18:18 argues, Geis claims, for the inerrancy of the Spirit's guidance witnessed in the practice and belief of the worldwide Christian community over the millennia. The Roman rite claim for a Divinely ordained Vicariate of authoritative pronouncements, having no Scriptural basis, emerges as an impediment to Christian unity, to Christ prayer \"that they may be one\" (\u003ci\u003eJn.\u003c\/i\u003e 17:20-21).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Geis\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the published philosophic study \u003ci\u003e Christ From Death Arisen\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), and two published philosophic works on immortality, \u003ci\u003ePersonal Existence After Death: Reductionist Circularities and the Evidence\u003c\/i\u003e (1995) and \"Descartes' Res: An Interactionist Difficulty\" in the 1997 collection of essays edited by Brendan Sweetman, \u003ci\u003eThe Failure of Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e.
