119.36 Southern Belles and Papal Bulls: The Curious Friendship of Pius IX and Jefferson Davis

Transcript URL: In this episode, we will be exploring the role of the Papacy during the American Civil War and its interactions with Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America. We will also delve into the relationship between Pope Pius IX and the Confederacy, and the Vatican's stance on the Civil War. The Papacy played a complex and nuanced role during the American Civil War, balancing its sympathies for the Confederacy with concerns about the impact of the conflict on Catholic interests in the United States. While the Vatican provided some support to the Confederacy, it ultimately remained neutral and recognized the Union as the legitimate government of the United States. #Papacy #JeffersonDavis #CivilWar #PopePiusIX #Confederacy #Vatican #Diplomacy #Neutrality #Union #Slavery #Abolitionism #CatholicChurch #USHistory You can learn more about the History of Papacy and subscribe at all these great places: Website: http://atozhistorypage.com/ To Subscribe: https://www.spreaker.com/show/history-of-the-papacy-podcast_1 Email Us: [email protected] Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/historyofthepapacy Parthenon Podcast Network: parthenonpodcast.com The History of the Papacy on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@atozhistory Help out the show by ordering these books from Amazon! https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1MUPNYEU65NTF Music Provided by: "Sonatina in C Minor" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Funeral March for Brass" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "String Impromptu Number 1" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) "Intended Force" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Agnus Dei X - Bitter Suite Kevin MacLeaod (incomptech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
