Portrait, Signature, and Pen Exchange with the Pope
An American woman confronts Pope Pius IX asking for his portrait and then for his photograph signing pen. The Pope grants the portrait and signature and finally offers the pen and inkstand as she remains seated unmoved. The scene ends with the Pope growing impatient and delivering the writing tools to her. Separately, Spofford writes that Massachusetts treats public libraries as a right, highlighting Boston Public Library as a premier free lending institution in the U.S.

In Rome on January 19 the Ecumenical Council debate centered on ending secrecy rules. American and French bishops led by Archbishop McCloskey and Bishop Duponloup urged abolition of secrecy, but the Pope refused the prayer after consideration. Jesuit ultramontane factions hailed the outcome. The issue dominates church circles.
