It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas.

The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems and confirm cer ...
