Best Answer

A:

The First Vatican Council of 1869-70 decided, against the wishes of the liberal minority, to declare papal infallibility to be a tenet of the Catholic faith. The definition of papal infallibility which was eventually agreed circumscribed the Pope's powers, sharply distinguishing infallibility from inerrancy, and limiting ex cathedra statements to those concerned with faith and morals.

A small number of Swiss, Dutch and German Catholics felt strongly enough about the outcome of the council to break away from the Catholic Church and join together in a body known as the 'Old Catholics'.
