This satirical print from 1724, created by an anonymous artist, is a set of nine playing cards depicting scenes that mock the doctrine of papal infallibility. The artist uses the imagery of playing cards to satirize the Catholic Church, with each card representing a different aspect of the doctrine. This satirical work is a testament to the ongoing debates surrounding religious authority during the Enlightenment era. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an important historical document for understanding the socio-religious context of the 18th century.
