The New Age "Modernist" Catholic Church

T

"By the time Padre Pio was beginning his studies for the priesthood, nontraditional religious thinking was making its inroads into nearly all Christian denominations. Led my priests such as Alfred Fermin Loisy (1857-1940) in France, George Tyrell (1861-1909) in England, and Romolo Murri (1870-1944) and the youthful Ernesto Buonaiuti (1881-1946) in Italy, biblical scholars of the modernist movement were seeking to reinterpret Roman Catholic dogma and doctrine in light of modern science and philosophy. Questioning the inerrancy of Scripture, they contended that biblical writers of both the Old and New Testaments were conditioned by the times in which they lived and that, therefore, religious truth was subject to a constant evolutionary process and tended to stress social reform. They provoked a strong reaction from leaders of the Roman Catholic Church, and in 1907 Pope Pius X (r. 1903-1914) condemned Modernism as "the synthesis of heresies." Eventually, most of the leaders of the movement in the Roman Church were forced from the priesthood or left voluntarily. "

(Excerpt from "Padrio Pio: the true story by C. Bernard Ruffin, Our Sunday Visitor 1982)

Now, unfortunately, the vast majority of Roman Catholic hierarchy are now Modernists, including the pope. ~ Chris Dickson
