The book titled ""The Ecumenical Council And The Infallibility Of The Roman Pontiff: A Pastoral Letter To The Clergy, Etc. (1869)"" is written by Henry Edward Manning. The book is a pastoral letter addressed to the clergy, in which Manning discusses the concept of infallibility of the Roman Pontiff and the role of the Ecumenical Council in the Catholic Church. The book was written in 1869, a time when the Catholic Church was going through significant changes, including the First Vatican Council, which was held in the same year. Manning argues that the Roman Pontiff is infallible in matters of faith and morals and that the Ecumenical Council is an important tool for the Church to define and clarify its teachings. The book provides a historical and theological overview of the concept of infallibility and the role of the Pontiff and the Council in the Catholic Church. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history and theology of the Catholic Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
