The book presents a detailed examination of the Dominican Order's evolving stance on papal authority, drawing from extensive research by Father Ulrich Horst, O.P. It highlights the historical shift from the belief in the infallibility of the Roman Church to the acceptance of papal infallibility, particularly during the sixteenth century in response to Protestantism. Key figures from the Dominican School of Salamanca and Jesuit theologians are discussed, showcasing the complexities and gradual development of these theological positions leading up to the decisions made at Vatican I.
