"He became the first major Catholic theologian to reject papal infallibility..."
A "Catholic" theologian would not reject dogma. Correct report should read: "He is just another heretic in a long list of former Catholics who rejected the teachings of the Catholic church." I can't believe this man is STILL being called Catholic!
