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.
