Discerning The Problem Of Evil Test 1 Practice

Which Ecumenical Council called by Pope Pius IX in 1870 expounds the nature and attributes of God?

Epistemic distance Vatican I Council Telos Principle of Plenitude

Correct Answer:

Vatican I Council

Explanation:

The main idea here is the First Vatican Council. It was convened by Pope Pius IX around 1869–1870 and produced the dogmatic constitution Dei Filius, which presents Catholic teaching on the existence and nature of God and how faith relates to reason. This makes Vatican I the council that expounds the nature and attributes of God in that era. The other terms are not ecumenical councils or related to this topic: Epistemic distance and Telos are philosophical concepts, and the Principle of Plenitude is a metaphysical idea—none of them describe a council called by Pope Pius IX in 1870.
