Book Description
This work begins: “There have been great and illustrious pontificates in the history of the Church, pontificates that stand prominently forth by the personal holiness of the Pope and the great works he accomplished for the Church of God, or the great sufferings he underwent in her defense.“These pontificates mark distinct epochs in ecclesiastical history; and with them posterity will range the remarkable reign of: Pius IX the length of years during which Divine Providence has sustainedhim in his eminent position; the personal sanctity which breathes forth in all his actions; the zeal with which he has met the spirit of an unbelieving age, that seeks to destroy alike the organization and the faith of the Church; the defining of an article of faith called for by the piety of a world, the convoking of a general council, the heroism and serenity displayed amid the vicissitudes and misfortunes that have chequered his career; exile, spoliation, imprisonment; a great heart afflicted by the sight of the evils visited on those who adhered to him and to the cause of God; all these conspire to invest Pius IX and his pontificate with a halo peculiarly his own.”Pope Pius IX's reign was stormy and long. He defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception and held the Vatican Council, only to have to leave Rome shortly after the end of the session, which shortened this council, leaving some of its work incomplete. Eventually he became the prisoner of the Vatican.

Book Description
'Pius IX. And His Time' unveils the extraordinary Pontificate of Pius IX, where the Church's spiritual sovereignty reached unprecedented heights through his leadership and the zeal of the priesthood. A marvel of longevity, Pius IX's life became a source of pride as doctrines were affirmed, the Church's influence expanded, and its enduring strength prevailed even in the face of significant losses, proving the Papacy's timeless significance and undiminished vigor.

Book Description
BEING more anxious to show the spirit of the late pontificate than to write a full catalogue of its achievements, I have passed lightly over all but the greater incidents in this history of a quarter of a century of battles. Perhaps a rapid story may be acceptable to many Catholic readers who find fuller biographies too long and too costly. NEVER since the days of Hildebrand has the Church seen so remarkable a pontificate as that which has just closed. The long reign of Pius IX., far exceeding in duration that of any of his predecessors, and surpassing even the traditional "years of Peter" which a popular prediction declared that no pope should ever see, was crowded with momentous political events, involving the most important changes in the condition of a large part of the civilized world, and in nearly all these changes the Sovereign Pontiff was the central figure. Ideas which were just beginning to ripen into action at the time of his birth became the ruling force of Europe before the close of his career. The ancient society of Christian nations was broken up. Christendom as a political entity ceased to exist. A new order of civilization, founded on new principles, took its place. In all these vicissitudes the Roman See was the one institution which suffered no change. Time and time again has it seemed to be the pivot around which moved the revolutions of a world. And the part of Pius IX. in this turmoil of transformation was no less strange than eventful. The early years of his pontificate showed that there was no reasonable liberty of which the Church might not be the protectur, anti for a few weeks the whole world sang hymns of praise to the Pope who had proved the compatibility of the authority of Rome with political freedom, and her sympathy with all noble and patriotic aspirations. Yet the World and the Church were soon in conflict, though the Pope never changed. Empires and republics rose and fell. Princes turned democrats. Democrats assumed the crown. Kingdoms were blotted off the map. Nations sprang into life. The Church was stripped of all her temporal possessions. Governments which had been her stanchest supporters suddenly become her foes. And in the midst of this hurry of revolutions-political, social, and religious-the Papacy alone retained its stability. The world beat against it, and beat in vain. When it was deemed friendless it was strongest. When it had no help except the unseen hand of Heaven, it was most formidable in the unity of its episco. pate, the affection of its children scattered far and wide over the earth, the clearness of its teachings, and the quick and full assent which all Catholics yielded to the authoritative voice that spoke to them from the Vatican. "There is, perhaps, hardly any pontiff," says Cardinal Manning, "who has governed the Church with more frequent exercises of supreme authority than Pius IX."

Book Description
Excerpt from A Popular Life of Our Holy Father Pope Pius the Ninth: Drawn From the Most Reliable Authorities "The Supreme Power in the Church," says the Council of Trent; "the full power of supporting, ruling, and governing the universal Church," says the Council of Florence, "resides by divine right in the Pontiff of Rome, who, in quality of the successor of the blessed apostle Peter, is the true Vicar of Jesus Christ, the visible Head of the whole Church, the common Father and Teacher of all Christians." To aid him in the discharge of his manifold and onerous duties, the Roman Pontiff has his venerable brethren in the Episcopacy; for they too are divinely appointed to govern and teach in particular churches, though in subordination to the Supreme Head, whose sole right and privilege it is to convoke them in Council, to preside over them personally, or by his legates, in their deliberations, and to confirm their decrees. Subordinate to the bishops, are the priests, the deacons, and other ministers, who have the more immediate care of the faithful.
