In Roman Catholic theology, papal infallibility is the doctrine that the [[Pope]] is unable to teach error when he solemnly declares a dogmatic teaching on faith or morals, by action of the Holy Spirit. This doctrine was defined in the [[First Vatican Council]] in [[1870 AD]].

~~This teaching is not acceptable by any other Christian denomination.~~

In Catholic theology, papal infallibility is one of the channels of the infallibility of the Church. The infallible teachings of the pope must be based on, or at least not contradict, Sacred Tradition or Sacred Scripture. Papal infallibility does not signify that the pope is impeccable, i.e., that he is specially exempt from liability to sin.

In Catholic teaching, diocesan bishops do not in themselves possess the charism of infallibility (but do so when gathered in ecumenical council).
