EDITORS COMMENTS
This tinted lithograph from The Modern Portrait Gallery captures the esteemed figure of Johan Joseph Ignaz Dollinger, a prominent German Roman Catholic theologian. Born in 1799 and passing away in 1890, Dollinger dedicated his life to the study of religion and made significant contributions to the field. Having been ordained as a priest in 1822, Dollinger went on to become a respected professor of church history and ecclesiastical law at Munich University. However, it was his opposition to the concept of papal infallibility that would define his legacy. When the Vatican Council declared this doctrine in 1870, Dollinger staunchly refused to accept it. His refusal led to severe consequences; he was defrocked and excommunicated by the Church in 1871. Despite these setbacks, Dollinger's unwavering beliefs resonated with many within Germany's Old Catholic community who regarded him as their leader. Nonetheless, he rejected this role out of humility. The captivating portrait showcases Dollinger's intellectual prowess and determination through its meticulous details and vibrant colors. It serves as a testament not only to his significance within Christian theology but also as an emblematic representation of religious dissent during this period. This historical lithograph offers us a glimpse into the life and convictions of Johan Joseph Ignaz Dollinger – an influential theologian whose steadfast opposition shaped both his personal journey and religious discourse at large.
