Pius IX, Ven. (1792–1878), Pope from 1846. Elected because of his reputation as a supporter of liberal ideals, he lost popular favour and had to appeal to the European Catholic powers for help before he could return to Rome in 1850. His temporal power gradually decreased until, after the seizure of Rome by Victor Emmanuel in 1870, the Papacy was virtually deprived of all temporal sovereignty by the Law of
Guarantees (1871). There were, however, spiritual and ecclesiastical achievements. New dioceses and missionary centres were created and the hierarchy was restored in England (1850) and the
Netherlands (1853). Catholic devotion was stimulated by the definition of the doctrine of the
Immaculate Conception of the BVM in 1854. The most important event of his pontificate was the definition of Papal infallibility by the First
Vatican Council of 1869–70.
