[edit] Catholic triumphalism lives

This article might almost have been written by an ultra-traditionalist Catholic. The discussion of opposition to the dogma of papal infallibility is weak. And yes, Pius IX was interested in having the Council define Papal Infallibility, and made no particular secret of it. Jhobson1 17:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
