English Letters From Rome on the Council "Letters From Rome on the Council" by Johann Joseph Ignaz von Döllinger is a collection of historical documents written in the late 19th century. The work compiles letters that provide a detailed account of the proceedings and political dynamics surrounding the Vatican Council, particularly focusing on the contentious issue of Papal Infallibility. This collection is significant as it captures the sentiments and concerns of various Bishops involved, especially those opposed to the prevailing ultramontane perspectives. The opening of the text sets the stage for a thorough investigation into the intricate political and theological machinations at play within the Church as it prepares for the Council. Döllinger introduces the context by explaining the motivation behind these letters—written by friends and witnesses of the events in Rome—who aim to report the true intentions and actions of the Council participants. Through this lens, the narrative unfolds the planned imposition of the new dogma of Papal Infallibility, detailing the conflicts among the Bishops and the growing apprehension regarding its implications for the relationship between the Church and modern states. The letters signal a struggle not only for doctrinal purity but also for the autonomy of the episcopate against what some perceived as Papal overreach. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
