Papal infallibility
In 1865, the "Kartellverband" commenced its work in the intellectual, religious and cultural areas of the German society of the period. The same year saw the "Kartellverband"'s first major adversity: a multilateral inquiry into the doctrine of Papal infallibility. The Cultural Struggle, a heavy burden on its member corporations, actually served to promote the "Kartellverband" to the point where, as of 1914, the "Kartellverband" had fifty-one (51) member Student corporations.
