Today in History - July 18

1870 - The First Vatican Council decrees the dogma of papal infallibility (Source)

The following 2 quotes are from R. C. Sproul's (1939-2017) book Faith Alone: The Evangelical Doctrine of Justification

"Does saving faith require a trust in the righteousness of Christ alone as the grounds of our justification? Or may a person have a different view of the gospel and still be a Christian?"

"The Reformation was waged, not over the issue of justification by faith, but over the issue of justification by faith alone. It was the Sola of Sola Fide that was the central point of dispute."
