On July 18, 1870, Pope Pius IX defined papal infallibility.

Two months later, Italian troops blew a hole in the wall of Rome —
and the 1,000-year Papal States ceased to exist.

This is the story of how the Church's most controversial dogma
was proclaimed in the exact moment the Pope lost his earthly kingdom.

🏛️ THE MAGISTERIUM — 200 YEARS OF CRISIS
Episode 3 of Rome Has Spoken: the chronological narrative of how the
Catholic Church answered the modern world, document by document,
from the French Revolution to today.

In this episode of Avoiding Babylon, Anthony Abbate breaks down:

• Why Pius IX called the First Vatican Council in 1869
• How "Pastor Aeternus" defined papal infallibility — and what it
actually says (and doesn't say)
• "Dei Filius" and the Church's answer to rationalism and modernism
• The Risorgimento, Italian unification, and the systematic
dismantling of the Papal States
• Porta Pia, September 20, 1870 — the day Rome fell
• Why Pius IX became the "Prisoner of the Vatican"
• How Vatican I was suspended and never formally closed

This isn't just Church teaching. It's a war story.

Rome already spoke. We just stopped listening.
