 RTF Study Program - LESSON 6: THE PHILOSOPHICAL ORIGINS OF HISTORICAL-CRITICISM
Georg Wilhelm Hegel (1770-1831) modified the static philosophy of Kant with a dynamic philosophy according to which all reality is in constant development.
Catholic historical-critics believe that their use of the method has been purified by a thorough analysis of these rationalist presuppositions precisely as they affect the implementation of the method, but I know not where such an analysis can be found or who might have performed it.
Historical-critics share with exegetes of other schools the use of auxiliary sciences, such as philology, archaeology, and geography, in the initial steps of textual criticism and linguistic analysis; it is with their own further steps of source-criticism, form-criticism, and redaction-criticism that questions chiefly arise.

Ratzinger has insisted that he and his father were opposed to National Socialism and there is no evidence on which to disagree.
Yet his father, a devout Catholic, was after all a nephew of the distinguished but notoriously anti-Semitic priest Georg Ratzinger and had continued in office as a police superintendent for several years after Hitler came to power.

During the course of this study, I gleefully discovered many of the standard "anti-infallibility" works, which are cited again and again: the Anglican George Salmon's The Infallibility of the Church (originally 1890), Johann von Dollinger's Letters of Janus and Letters of Quirinus (1869-1870) and Hans Kung's Infallible?: An Inquiry (1971).
