when was the dogma of immaculate conception proclaimed
1854
title: Immaculate Conception text: sinless, or conceived without original sin, has been widely held since Late Antiquity, the doctrine was not dogmatically defined in the Catholic Church until 1854 when Pope Pius IX, declared "ex cathedra", i.e., using papal infallibility, in his papal bull "Ineffabilis Deus", the Immaculate Conception to be doctrine. The Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8; in many Catholic countries, it is a holy day of obligation or patronal feast, and in some a national public holiday. The defined dogma of the Immaculate Conception states: The definition concerns original sin only, and it makes no title: Catholic Church text: States. In 1854, Pope Pius IX, with the support of the overwhelming majority of Catholic bishops, whom he had consulted from 1851 to 1853, proclaimed the Immaculate Conception as a Dogma in the Catholic Church. In 1870, the First Vatican Council affirmed the doctrine of papal infallibility when exercised in specifically defined pronouncements. Controversy over this and other issues resulted in a breakaway movement called the Old Catholic Church. The Italian unification of the 1860s incorporated the Papal States, including Rome itself from 1870, into the Kingdom of Italy, thus ending the papacy's millennial temporal power. Pope Pius IX rejected title: Dogma in the Catholic Church text: presented the basic elements of the Catholic faith in a more understandable, pastoral language, without changing the teachings of the Church. The last two dogmas were pronounced by Popes, Pope Pius IX in 1854 and Pope Pius XII in 1950 on the Immaculate Conception and the assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary respectively. They are cornerstones of mariology To some, this raises the question, why dogmas are formulated almost 2000 years after the resurrection of Christ. It is Catholic teaching that, with Christ and the Apostles, revelation is completed. Dogmas issued after the death of his apostles are not new, title: Catholic Mariology text: perpetual virginity of Mary or the virgin birth of Jesus; for this dogma refers to the conception of Mary by her mother, Saint Anne and not the conception of Jesus. The feast of the Immaculate Conception, celebrated on December 8, was established in 1476 by Pope Sixtus IV, but the dogmatic definition was performed by Pope Pius IX in his constitution "Ineffabilis Deus", on December 8, 1854. The dogmatic definition in "Ineffabilis Deus" (which is Latin for "Ineffable God"), was made "ex cathedra" by the exercise of papal authority by Pope Pius IX. The dogma states that Mary possessed sanctifying title: Munificentissimus Deus text: Munificentissimus Deus Munificentissimus Deus () is the name of an Apostolic constitution written by Pope Pius XII. It defines "ex cathedra" the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was the first "ex-cathedra" infallible statement since the official ruling on papal infallibility was made at the First Vatican Council (1869–1870). In 1854 Pope Pius IX made an infallible statement with "Ineffabilis Deus" on the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, which was a basis for this dogma. The decree was promulgated on 1 November 1950. On 1 November 1950, invoking his dogmatic authority, Pope Pius XII defined
