This book is a comprehensive examination of the movement to make the Pope the governor of the world in the 19th century. William Arthur, a British theologian and historian, provides a detailed historical account of the movement from the issuance of the Syllabus of Errors by Pope Pius IX in 1864 to the closure of the Vatican Council in 1870. He analyzes the political, social, and religious factors that contributed to the movement's rise and fall. This book is a valuable resource for historians interested in the Catholic Church, European politics, and 19th century history.
