Fr Stephen Langridge, the Parish Priest of St Elizabeth of Portugal in Richmond, answers the question "what is Papal infallibility"? As Fr Stephen explains, Papal infallibility is not about human authority; it’s about divine fidelity - the faithfulness of Christ to His Bride, the Church.

But has the Catholic Church got this wrong? Did the Lord Jesus really mean the Eucharist is his body and his blood?

Is Jesus God? 05.01.2026 10:37
