Letter: Infallible argument about truth

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: Andrew Brown (Faith and Reason, 22 October) suggests that those Christians who do not follow the Pope understand the search for truth as one in which truth is the passive partner, whereas for the Pope truth reaches out towards humanity. This may be the position of some liberal theologians, but evangelicals of all schools would also want to insist that truth reaches out towards humanity. It is, in fact, essential to belief in the Incarnation.

Where we would differ from the Pope is in rejecting the idea that he or anyone else has an infallible capacity to receive the truth.

Yours faithfully, FRED PRITCHARD Newport, Gwent
