'fraud not.bach90 said:I meant that the term "infallible" is not used. Yes, fine, it is not, your right. However, all the characteristics of infallibility were ascribed to the Vulgate at Trent. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...well...
You have to read things the way the RCC reads them. And more importantly, look at how the RCC acts. The simple matter is that the Vulgate is not taken to be infallible.You have to read between the lines when looking at a document from the Romanists. They like to say certain things without actually saying those things.
In actual fact Pius XII is one of the popes who wrote on its limitations.If your saying that a version is free from all doctrinal and moral error,
which popes as recent as Pius XII said, your essentially saying it's infallible, even if that specific term is not used.
A whole mass of catholic books carry an nihil obstat and imprimiture - that certainly doesn't imply infallibility. That's not what such declarations are about.
That doesn't follow. That's not how councils are understood.Of course the Council of Trent is infallible in the RCC, so by extension all it's documents are infallible.
And it won't be. But recognising the need to produce it necessarily implies recognition of the limitations of its predecessor.The Nova Vulgata has not been canonized by any recent council (it was created after the most recent one, Vatican II),
