The enduring influence of the Catholic Church has many
sources—its spiritual and intellectual appeal, missionary
achievements, wealth, diplomatic effectiveness, and stable
hierarchy. But in the first half of the nineteenth century, the
foundations upon which the church had rested for centuries were
shaken. In the eyes of many thoughtful people, liberalism in the
guise of liberty, equality, and fraternity was the quintessence of
the evils that shook those foundations. At the Vatican Council of
1869–1870, the church made a dramatic effort to set things right
by defining the doctrine of papal infallibility. In Vatican I: The
Council and the Making of the Ultramontane Church, John W.
O’Malley draws us into the bitter controversies over papal
infallibility that at one point seemed destined to rend the church
in two. Archbishop Henry Manning was the principal driving force
for the definition, and Lord Acton was his brilliant counterpart on
the other side. But they shrink in significance alongside Pope Pius
IX, whose zeal for the definition was so notable that it raised
questions about the very legitimacy of the council. Entering the
fray were politicians such as Gladstone and Bismarck. The growing
tension in the council played out within the larger drama of the
seizure of the Papal States by Italian forces and its seemingly
inevitable consequence, the conquest of Rome itself. Largely as a
result of the council and its aftermath, the Catholic Church became
more pope-centered than ever before. In the terminology of the
period, it became ultramontane.
