Today, we step away from the American story and cross the Atlantic to witness one of the most turbulent centuries in the history of the Catholic Church. From the chaos of the French Revolution to the rise and exile of popes, from clashes with Freemasonry to the revival of the Jesuits, the 19th century redefined the Church. Discover how the papacy went from political captivity to spiritual resurgence, laying the groundwork for its future in the modern world.
