Word of the Day: Syllabus of Pius X (Syllabus Against the Modernists)
SYLLABUS OF PIUS X. A series of propositions condemned by the Congregation of the Holy Office and ratified by the Pope as decreed in the encyclical Lamentabili (July 3, 1907). It denounced the tenets of Modernism and repudiated their errors. The basis of these false doctrines was the pseudo-scientific theory of evolution on human knowledge and belief. By a subsequent motu proprio the Pope further confirmed the syllabus by publishing the Oath Against Modernism (September 1, 1910).

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
