The First Vatican Council was a council of the [[Roman Catholic Church]] held in 1869-1870 and become famous (or infamous) for confirming [[Papal Infallibility]] as official doctrine of the Roman Church.
The council was called by pope's Piux IX. His two primary main purposes for calling the council were to define the dogma of Papal Infallibility and to obtain confirmation of the position he had taken in his Syllabus of Errors (1864), condemning a wide range of positions associated with rationalism, liberalism, and materialism.
In the three sessions, there was discussion and approval of only two constitutions: Dei Filius, the Dogmatic Constitution On The Catholic Faith (which defined, among other things, the sense in which Catholics believe the Bible is inspired by God) and Pastor Aeternus, the First Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, dealing with Roman primacy and papal infallibility.
