Papal Infallibility - The Vote

"That the Pope's jurisdiction is immediate in all Churches-ie, he is the universal ordinary, the actual bishop of every See....and that the Roman Pontiff, when he speaks ex cathedra, and defines a doctrine of faith or morals to be held by the universal church, is infallible,..."

Pius IX

Vatican Council I presided over by Pope Pius IX
Voted upon July 1870
451 voted affirmative
88 voted against
62 would support it if modified
70 abstained from the vote
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;
and his deadly wound was healed:
and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation  13:3
