Commentary
Pie IX (1792-1878), élu après une vacance de quinze jours seulement, a le plus long pontificat du XIXe siècle. Après des débuts heureux, montrant en lui, sinon un libéral du moins un novateur entre 1846-1848, la révolution romaine le rejette dans le conservatisme. Après la Révolution de février en France, l'agitation gagne l'Europe entière et même Rome. Devant le refus de Pie IX de déclarer la guerre à l'Autriche, la république est proclamée le 9 février à l'instigation de Mazzini et de Garibaldi. Le 1er juin, un corps expéditionnaire est envoyé à Rome pour rétablir l'ordre. Les Français s'emparent de la ville le 3 juillet et rétablissent Pie IX. Il ne peut empêcher Victor Emmanuel II de réaliser l'unité italienne et se retrouve isolé à partir de 1861. Rome résiste encore neuf ans avant de tomber entre les mains du roi d'Italie et devient la capitale en 1870. Pie IX vit les neuf dernières années de sa vie en se considérant comme prisonnier du pouvoir italien.

After a happy start, showing in him, if not a liberal, at least an innovator between 1846-1848, the Roman revolution threw him back into conservatism. After the February Revolution in France, unrest spread throughout Europe and even Rome. Faced with the refusal of Pius IX to declare war on Austria, the republic was proclaimed on February 9 at the instigation of Mazzini and Garibaldi. On June 1, an expeditionary force was sent to Rome to restore order. The French seized the city on July 3 and restored Pius IX. He could not prevent Victor Emmanuel II from achieving Italian unity and found himself isolated from 1861. Rome resisted for another nine years before falling into the hands of the King of Italy and becoming the capital in 1870. Pius IX saw the nine last years of his life considering himself a prisoner of Italian power
