Overview

The Classic Studies on the First Vatican Council collection offers a variety of perspectives on this monumental event by contemporary observers, including Henry Edward Manning, the archbishop of Westminster at the time; Swiss-American theologian Philip Schaff; and Italian statesman Francesco Nobili-Vitelleschi.

Concerned about the rise of rationalism and liberalism, Pope Pius IX called the First Vatican Council in 1869 to deal with contemporary problems and defend doctrine. The proceedings of the council—particularly a heated debate about papal infallibility—impacted not just the Church, but the balance of power across the globe. These volumes offer Latin and English translations of the documents distributed in preparation for the council, as well as the resulting constitutions and other official documents. Influential figures offer commentary on their personal observations of the event, as well as its theological and civil ramifications.

In the Logos editions, Classic Studies on the First Vatican Council is enhanced with cutting-edge research tools. Scripture citations link directly to English translations, and important terms link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library.

Henry Edward Manning compiled this story of the Vatican Council from his own observations, and those of other bishops also present at the event—including the secretary of the council and the archbishop of Florence. “I call it a story,” writes Manning, “because to write a history of the Vatican Council would be with work of a man’s life.” He outlines the proposal of holding an ecumenical council by Pius IX, the opening of the Vatican Council on December 8, 1869, the discussion of the proposed decrees, and the definition of papal infallibility.

Henry Edward Manning (1808–1892) graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, in 1827. In 1832, he became a fellow of Merton College, Oxford, and was ordained in the Anglican Church. He was appointed archdeacon of Chichester in 1841. Manning left the Anglican Church in 1850, after the Gorham judgment, and entered the Roman Catholic Church in 1851. By 1862, he was archbishop of Westminster, head of the Catholic Church in England. He was appointed as a cardinal in 1875. He was an influential voice in the modern Catholic Church, and was a strong advocate for social justice. His works include The Temporal Mission of the Holy Ghost, Unity of the Church, Rule of Faith, Sermons: Four Volumes, and The Eternal Priesthood.

He went to Rome in 1951 and attended Accademia dei nobili ecclesiastici, where he became a disciple of Henry Edward Manning. He was ordained in 1854 and served as vice president of St. Edmund’s College.

Vaughan founded the Catholic Truth Society in 1868 and St. Joseph’s Foreign Missionary College in 1869. After the American Civil War, he traveled to the United States to establish a mission to for freedmen. He was made a bishop in 1872, and established St. Bede’s College in Manchester. He was made archbishop of Westminster in 1892 and elevated to cardinal in 1893. He successfully led the campaign to build the Westminster Cathedral, which was nearly complete by his death in 1903.
