Pope Pius IX responded with the Allocution in 1848.Where previously he may have appeared to be fairly liberal and reforming he then denounced any Catholic involvement in the expulsion of Austria or any form of nationalism.

Seeing as the growth of nationalism would have resulted in regional leaders being overthrown he would not support it. The Allocution stated that because rulers had been given their position by God it was not justifiable to overthrow them.The Pope also excommunicated anyone involved with Mazzini's Roman Republic of February 1849.

The papacy and the Catholic church became very anti-nationalism. This simply reflected the general feeling in Europe at the time that nationalism was a bad thing. It all sprouted from the French revolution and the rise of Napoleon.

The Papacy and the Catholic Church responded to the rise of Italian Nationalism by holding The First Vatican Council. The Pope had been stripped of his temporal power (He no longer owned a large piece of land equivalent to several counties in the United States). As a result the Council declared the Pope was infallible when he pronounced on Faith and Morals. A bishop in the United States shocked Europe when he voted against the document. Today, the Catholic Church is extremely weak in Europe and strong in the United States.

In the Renaissance how did nationalism affect the church?

Nationalism in the Renaissance had a significant impact on the church.
