Cathedral Basilica Of The Assumption, Covington, Kentucky, United States Of America.



The Cathedral of Covington, Kentucky, contains 
an unusual series of Stained-Glass Windows illustrating Dogmatic and Administrative Decrees of Popes and Councils. They are evidence of the central role that The Pope and The Vatican had assumed in Catholic culture by 1914. Here, Blessed Pope Pius IX (“Pio Nono”) is proclaiming The Dogma of The Immaculate Conception (8 December 1854).
