The most far-reaching change to the authority and role of the Catholic pope occurred in 1870, when the Vatican Council almost unanimously approved the doctrine of papal infallibility, with only 2 opposed. One opponent, Dollinger, was excommunicated and many, inspired by his views, formed a separate Church known as the Old Catholics, which survives in Germany and Switzerland.
