Johann Joseph Ignaz von Döllinger (1799-1890) was a German theologian, Catholic priest and church historian who rejected the dogma of papal infallibility. His criticism of the papacy antagonized that places strong emphasis on the prerogatives and powers of the Pope; but his reverence for tradition annoyed the liberals. In 1871 he was elected rector-magnificus of the University of Munich and was, throughout his life, a prolific author.
