By way of illustration it takes up one question, never asked before, that is central to the teaching function of the church. The question is: To what extent are magisterial statements guaranteed to be meaningful? In the process of addressing that question, Garth Hallett takes the reader through the workings of Wittgenstein language analysis, a trip that begins in absolute clarity and ends in sheer nonsense. Somewhere between those people (and churches) struggle to make themselves understood and struggle to understand Wittgenstein, Ludwig, 1889-1951. Catholic Church Doctrines.
