December 8, 1854 – Ineffabilis Deus

One of the issues Protestants and Catholics disagree on is the idea that Mary the mother of Jesus didn’t have any other children and she, in fact, was born a virgin and without sin. This is called the Immaculate Conception and it was issued in a Papal Bull on December 8, 1854, by Pope Pious IX. In Latin, it’s called Ineffabilis Deus and is an integral part of the Roman Catholic Church’s beliefs. This is a picture of Pious IX and some of his cardinals.
