Ironically, Newman Did Not Believe that Papal Infallibility Was Opportunely Decreed

Converted from Being an Anglican Minister to Catholicism
Like Most Contemporary Bishops, Newman Rightly Predicted
That the Doctrine of Papal Infallibility Was Inopportunely Decreed
Vatican I Never Completed Its Work on the Full Definition of the Doctrine As the Council Was Hastily Adjourned in the Face of the Italian Revolutionaries
On September 19, 2010, Benedict-Ratzinger Novus Ordo-beatified John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890), a former Anglican minister. There was irony in this act. Newman was one of those called "Non-opportunists," who believed that it was not opportune at the Vatican I Council to issue a decree on papal infallibility. In that opinion, he was joined by a majority of the bishops at the council and even by Pope Pius IX. In fact, the issue was put on the council's agenda, not by the pope, but by the extremist French Ultramontanists, who wanted to make the pope into some kind of secular demigod, so that he could act on an equal plane with the national leaders of the 19th century.
The decree, titled Pastor aeternus, did eventually pass, but only because most of the bishops did not want embarrass Pius IX after the decree had been put on the public agenda. Many bishops were opposed to issuing a decree simply absented themselves from the vote. Vatican I was never able to complete its work and put the decree into its proper context. The Italian revolutionaries invaded Rome and made the pope a "prisoner of the Vatican." The council was adjourned in a panic, having passed only one part of the decree.
Newman, a brilliant intellect, knew that confusion would ensue because of the incomplete nature of the council's work, as it in fact did. No sooner had the decree passed than he was bombarded with the confusion it produced. Catholics and non-Catholics in England misunderstood that the pope was a demigod, whose every whim was an infallible act, just as the papolators of today believe. True, the council never decreed that, and in fact severely limited papal infallibility to matters of faith and morals, and only if the exercise of that infallibility expounded on no "new doctrine," but only what was already in the Deposit of Faith.
The first cardinal of the United States, James Gibbons, who personally participated at the council, encountered confusion when he returned to his country from the council and was asked whether the pope was infallible in everything. "I don't think so," Cardinal Gibbons replied, "He called me Mister Jibbons!" To the contrary, Newman's proper understanding of the decree was confirmed by none other than Pope St. Pius X, who wrote that of all the cardinals, Newman had most correctly explicated the doctrine.
Benedict-Ratzinger Hypocritically Ignores History on His British Junket He Sides with Those Who Murdered Bishop John Fisher and St. Thomas More
From: The Fathers
Newchurchers can accept Benedict-Ratzinger's British junket September 16-19, 2010, only if they are hypocrites. He prayed with Anglicans, under whose auspices hundreds of Catholics were tortured and killed in the reigns of Edward VI, Elizabeth I, and James I for refusing to do what Benedict-Ratzinger cravenly did. If Benedict-Ratzinger's actions were correct, then those martyrs died in vain. If the martyrs were correct, then Benedict-Ratzinger is a traitor to 450 years of Catholic recusant heroism and sainthood, including St. Thomas More and Bishop John Fisher.
In the Newchurch of the New Order, servile "obedience" and subservience to hierarchical dictatorship continue to take precedence over the truth. This failing is at the root of Newchurch's Great Sex and Embezzlement h0Ɩ0cαųst as well. The cover-up depended upon the bureaucratic belief that one does not expose presbyters and Newbishops to negative publicity or prosecution. By personal signature of Ratzinger, notorious child-rape accomplices such as Newcardinals Roger Mahony, of Los Angeles, California, and Francis George, of Chicago, Illinois, are being allowed to serve their full term and then retire with all the prestige and riches of their office, instead of being sent to prison, where they belong.
The pope also offered unqualified praise for the British establishment for its fight against the nαzιs. He failed to note that he himself was a nαzι sympathizer, first as a uniformed member of the nαzι Youth Corps and then in the Wehrmacht, the armed forces of nαzι Germany. He now pleads youth (although he wasn't all that young at sixteen) and necessity (although he joined up five months before the legal requirement), whereas many of his fellows in Regensberg were resisting the nαzιs and refusing to sign up.
