During Pius IX's reign, what did he NOT formalize?

  • Religious tolerance

  • Canonization process

  • Ritual of Mass

  • Papal infallibility

Answer

Papal infallibility was not formalized during Pius IX's reign. This doctrine states that the Pope is immune from error when speaking on matters of faith and morals. Although Pius IX was a strong advocate of papal authority, he did not formally define this doctrine until the First Vatican Council in 1870.
