Infallibilism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Infallibilism is, in philosophy and epistemology, the belief that absolute truth or certainty of knowledge is attainable. The belief is opposed to fallibilism, which is the belief that knowledge is attainable, but certainty is not. In religion, infallibilism is the belief that certain texts or persons cannot be wrong. The most famous example of religious infallibilism is the Catholic doctrine of Papal Infallibility, which states that the Pope's teaching is considered infallible under specific conditions.
