Fr.

1654 How the Pope Became Infallible: Pius IX and the Politics of Persuasion, by August Bernhard Hasler translated by Peter Heinegg (read 21 Aug 1981) This is a "popularized" book by an author who died 1 July 1980. He apparently was a priest though it seems clear to me he had no interest in the formation of faith or the Faith. I found this book sloppily written, hopelessly biased, with utterly no effort to present a balanced, judicial view of his subject, and with no effort to present matters so his readers could themselves judge the issues he raises. Undoubtedly the pressures put on bishops in Vatican I were heavy, but that they were such as to be unbearable simply is not proved by this book. Even the gossip the book retails is given so sketchingly that one assumes the author merely wants to influence the reader adversely to the Church. Reading this book was a waste of time.
