“He said Pius IX, despite his enthusiasm, welcomed the idea of consulting with the bishops of the world, who expressed their agreement, leading him to finally proclaim the dogma.”
Should have consulted with God.
How interesting. I’ve always liked Pio Nono.
Thanks for posting, I’ve never heard this before.
Thanks for this history.
I wasn’t aware of such details nor the timing.
Blessings,

Eastern Christianity and the Immaculate Conception (Q&A From EWTN)
We are celebrating the 150 year Anniversary of when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette and told Bernadette that she was the Immaculate COnception.
Bernadette, who had trouble rememmbering things, and did not understand the meaning of what the Lady from Heaven said, was almost clobbered by her parish priest. He initially thought that Bernadette was claiming to be the Immaculate Conception.
Berndatte was just repeating exactly what the woman from heaven said: "Je Suis Immaculate Conception!" or "I am the Immaculate Conception"...
The primacy of grace versus naturalism's rejection of the supernatural.
Grace = an antidote to anti-supernatural naturalism.
"A" - Mary's Immaculate Conception (origin in supernatural grace?) leads to "B" - the demise of naturalism.
I am not a Roman Catholic but I desire to see how A leads to B
Can someone tell me how this works?
