SVP Coffee Morning
and Cake Sale –
Sunday 9th July
The SVP Society will be holding
a fundraising cake sale after
the 9.00am and 10.45am
Masses on Sunday 9th July. We
would be most grateful for cake
donations (large or small),
which may be brought along
before Mass and handed to an
SVP member in the church
porch. There is a sign up sheet
in the porch. The aim of the
SVP is to tackle poverty in all its
forms through the provision of
practical assistance to those in
need. Please support this wor-
thy cause.
The J&P Group welcome you to
come and join us on Friday 7th July
after Mass at 7.30pm to pray the
Peace Rosary and reflect on the
need for justice and peace in the
many areas across the globe.
Please pray for the soul of
Deacon Peter Rennie RIP
who passed away recently.
May he rest in peace.

Gospel Reflection The Immaculate Conception of our Lady, and her Assumption are usually cited as the only instances of
the exercise of Papal Infallibility. However, we also believe that all the bishops together in union with the
Holy Father can also teach infallibly (this being spelled out at the Second Vatican Council), and the two
great Marian dogmas fit more neatly into this category than into purely ‘Papal’ infallibility. But I think
that it might be argued that there have been two occasions when the Pope alone has defined the faith
for the Church, and both of them are to be found in the Bible. The first is in today’s Gospel, where, the
other disciples having havered, St Peter proclaims clearly on their behalf the identity of our Lord; You
are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus responds directly with Simon Peter’s commission that
we are accustomed to relate directly to his Papal office: You are Peter, and on this rock… It might be
argued that Simon the disciple was not yet fully Peter the Pope, but it is interesting that his profound,
unquestionably correct inspiration should be, as it were, the spark which brings the Lord’s commission
of Simon Peter for the Papal office. The other exercise of something like Papal Infallibility, by the way,
can also be found in the Acts of the Apostles, (Chapter 10) where St Peter, under direct inspiration,
teaches that Gentiles are equal in the sight of God with Jews and need not keep the Law of Moses.
The papal office does have its limitations, however. It certainly does not suggest that every-
thing a Pope says is going to be infallible; only three small verses after today’s Gospel passage, our
Lord rebukes Peter very sharply indeed: Get behind me, Satan! for his suggestion that our Lord’s death
should be prevented. And we have the unfortunate example of many popes who have been no better
than they should be, and some a great deal worse. Which is why the First Vatican Council chose to
hedge the charism of Infallibility around with stringent conditions—no doubt providentially—lest some
future Pope confuse, like his great predecessor, St Peter, his private judgment with his divinely-
appointed office.
