The Rome-based Jesuit Wittgenstein scholar Garth Hallett argued that the dogma of infallibility was neither true nor false but meaningless; see his Darkness and Light: The Analysis of Doctrinal Statements (Paulist Press, 1975). In practice, he claims, the dogma seems to have no practical use and to have succumbed to the sense that it is irrelevant.

Book sections

"...the Vatican Council introduced no new doctrine when it defined the infallibility of the pope, but merely re-asserted what had been...and had even been explicitly proclaimed...by more than one of the early ecumenical councils."

Vatican documents

In response to this confusion, the Church's magisterium has unambiguously stated, on at least three separate occasions:

• http://www.catholicculture.org/docs/doc_view.cfm?recnum=7029
• http://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDFADTU.HTM

“…This means that these definitions do not need the consent of the bishops in order to be valid,…”

Vatican II, Lumen Gentium

Vatican I

In the conclusion of the fourth chapter of its Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Pastor Aeternus, solemnly promulgated by Pope Pius IX, the First Vatican Council in 1870 declared the following:

In a General Audience (17 March 1993) John Paul II indicated that ex cathedra teaching can eliminate doubt about existing teachings: "The reason for ex cathedra definitions is almost always to give this certification to the truths that are to be believed as belonging to the "deposit of faith" and to exclude all doubt..."

• http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/audiences/alpha/data/aud19930317en.html

Catholic theologians agree that both Pope Pius IX's 1854 definition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, and Pope Pius XII's 1950 definition of the dogma of the Assumption of Mary are instances of papal infallibility, a fact which has been confirmed by the Church's magisterium

• http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/audiences/alpha/data/aud19930324en.html

The Vatican itself has given no complete list of papal statements considered to be infallible. A 1998 commentary by Cardinal Ratzinger and Cardinal Bertone, the leaders of the CDF, listed a number of instances of infallible pronouncements by popes and by ecumenical councils, but explicitly stated that this was not meant to be a complete list.
