Catalan Carmelite canon lawyer and scholastic philosopher
Guido Terrena (c.1270 inPerpignan – 1342), also known asGuido Terreni andGuy de Perpignan, was a CatalanCarmelite canon lawyer and scholastic philosopher.
He was an early infallibilist;[8] the concept ofpapal infallibility is thought to occur first in a work he wrote concerning the conflict ofPope John XXII (1316–34) and theFranciscan Spirituals.[9] It is said that he adapted this doctrine to papal needs, rather than originating it,[10] and before 1328.[11]
He was a leading member of a small group of infallibilists at the court of Pope John XXII.[12] His position on papal infallibility "so closely anticipated the doctrine of Vatican I that in the judgment of B.M. Xiberta, the Carmelite scholar who edited [Terreni's] work, 'if he had written it after Vatican I he would have to add or change hardly a single word.'"[13] He wrote: "We are not asking whether a pope can be a heretic in himself but whether he can err in defining anything in the church and obliging the faithful to believe, so that his error does not concern the person of the pope alone but concerns all the faithful and the whole church of Christ. For an error concerning his person can inhere in the pope, but not an error concerning the whole church."[14]
