Abstract

This article reveals information about preparations and work of the First Vatican Council as it was reported in the contemporary Zagreb press. Authors investigate writings in three newspapers from Zagreb: Narodne novine [National newspapers], Agramer Zeintug [Zagreb
Newspapers] and Zagrebački katolički list [Zagreb Catholic Newspapers]. On the basis of the articles and information published in these newspapers, authors reconstruct opening and work of the First Vatican Council from its convocation (29th June 1869) until
its downtime on 1st September 1870, which was followed by Italian occupation of Rome and abolishment of the Papal state. Authors give special attention to the Council’s sessions in which the most important topic was thesis about the papal impeccability. In the conclusion authors deliver an analysis of the texts published in the Zagreb press concerning the Council, in which they reveal press’ attitude and opinions about the work of the Council and the decreed dogma. Finally, authors have deduced that the press was quite important in making of the public opinion about the Council. Namely, it is quite clear that Zagreb press did not welcome decree of dogma on the papal impeccability, and in this manner press followed state policy and views of the majority of the local episcopacy.
