. . . the simple fact of the existence of a
consensus of theologians in favor of some proposition does not suffice to make
the denial of that proposition temerarious. The rejection of a proposition is
temerarious only if either the proposition is rejected without providing a
serious reason, or the theological censure of “temerarious” has been applied to
that proposition by magisterial authority. (John T. R. Lamot,
“The Authority of Canonizations,” in Peter A. Kwasniewski, Are Canonizations
Infallible? Revisiting a Disputed Question [Bridgeport: Arouca Press, 2021],
