Overview

The First Vatican Council was the twentieth ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, which met three hundred years after the Council of Trent. It was convened in order to refute modern theological differences and to define Catholic doctrine in response to the rise of modernism. The First Vatican Council approved two constitutions: one on the Dogmatic Constitution of the Catholic Faith, and the other—famously—on papal infallibility. The council also clarified the role of the pope in the Roman Catholic Church.

About Vincent McNabb

Vincent McNabb (1868–1943), was a Dominican scholar who studied Theology at St. Malachy's College in Belfast, and at the University of Louvain.

McNabb was familar with Hebrew, Greek, and Latin—and often discoursed on Scholastic writings such as Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica. McNabb sought to unify the Angelican and Catholic doctrines, and heavily promoted that desire across his works.
