====[[First Vatican Council]]====
In the late eighteen hundreds, with its temporal powers waning, pope [[Pius IX]] called a council, that is recognized as ecumenical by the Roman Catholic Church, but not by other denominations. The council convened in 1869 and 1870 in the [[Vatican]], and stopped abruptly when Rome was taken by Italian forces, thus ending the era of the Papal states. The council essentially reaffirmed all that the [[Council of Trent]] had affirmed, as well as affirming [[papal infallibility]].
