Editing First Vatican Council (section)

{{Main|Dei Filius}}

On 24 April 1870, the dogmatic constitution on the Catholic faith {{lang|la|Dei Filius}} was adopted unanimously. The draft presented to the council on 8 March drew no serious criticism, but a group of 35 English-speaking bishops, who feared that the opening phrase of the first chapter, "{{lang|la|Sancta romana catholica Ecclesia}}" ('Holy Roman Catholic Church'), might be construed as favouring the [[Anglicanism|Anglican]] [[branch theory]], later succeeded in having an additional adjective inserted, so that the final text read: "{{lang|la|Sancta catholica apostolica romana Ecclesia}}" ('Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church').{{sfn|Lacoste|2004|p=1666}} The constitution thus set forth the teaching of the "Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church" on God, revelation and faith.{{sfn|De Mattei|2004|p=137}}
