Sažetak
After many years of preparation pope Pio IX assembled and opened the First Vatican Council in 1869. It was also the 20th ecumenical council, which was held 306 years after the previous Council of Trent. About 700 delegates from all around the Globe participated in the work of the First Vatican Council. Commissions that prepared the Council created many drafts for the Council’s decrees and constitutions, but the Council proclaimed only two dogmatic constitutions: Dei Filius (About the Catholic faith) and Pastor aeternus (About Christ’s Church). Since the latter constitution included questions about dogmatic definition of Pope’s infallibility, this constitution provoked division between those who accepted it (infallibilists) and those who rejected it (anti-infallibilists). The infallibilists were majority, but the minority did not want to accept definition of Pope’s infallibility and they abandoned the Council before the voting on the constitution. Day after the voting the constitution Pastor aeternus the war between Prussia and France broke out, and the Pope had to interrupt the Council and postpone it for better days (sine die), but the Council was never resumed. When bishops returned to their dioceses, they published Council’s decisions in the diocesan newspapers. Some of them were faster and some slower. One among the last was Josip Juraj Strossmayer, bishop of Bosnia and Syrmia, who was one of the best speakers at the Council but also one of the most vigilant opponents to dogma of Pope’s infallibility. Decisions of the First Vatican Council were not very well accepted among some of the believers, so they consequently have abandoned Catholic Church and established the Old Catholic Church.
