	ST DAMASUS
		Pope Damasus is said in the Pontifical to have been a Spaniard; which may be true of his extraction, but Tillemont and Merenda show that he seems to have been born at Rome.
		Rufin clears Damasus of any way concurring to, or approving of such barbarous proceedings, and the schismatics fell into the snare they had laid for him,[7] by which it seems they demanded an inquiry to be made by the rack, which turned to their own confusion and chastisement.
		This edict Pope Damasus caused to be read in all the churches of Rome, and he was very severe in putting the same into execution, so as to give great offence to some unworthy persons who, on that account, went over to the schismatics; but some time after returned to their duty.

		Thus, in the case of the election of Pope Damasus, the episcopal throne of Rome (the ministry of Peter) was empty.
		The pope is very different from a mere priest or a bishop, because he is bishop of bishops and the seat of infallability: no matter how many councils are called by the bihsops, even if the whole episcopacy turns against him, his judgement on faith and morals is still true ex sese.
		Pope John was not addressing the doctrine of P. Infallibility as it was later dogmatised by Vatican I. Nor was the doctrine “invented” in the 1300s, as you claim.
