Biersach & Coulombe: Syllabus of Errors (See Note)
The Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX in 1864 is an incisive document that pinpoints the nature of many errors (evils) that modern man wholeheartedly embraces. Thus, the document reemphasizes infallible Church teachings that have been clouded over time. This is one of our most challenging CDs because some of the errors which Piux IX lists are some of the most deeply-rooted beliefs held by Americans. Don't be surprised if some of the things on this list are concepts which you've believed in! As Mr. Coulombe states: "What you have here is a dogmatic examination of conscience. "
From Fr John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary, written after the Council and published with a post-Conciliar Nihil Obstat & Imprimatur (emphasis added):
SYLLABUS OF PIUS IX. A series of eighty condemned propositions listing the prevalent errors that aimed at the undermining of society, morality, and religion. Every Catholic is expected to give exterior and interior assent to the condemnation of errors expressed in this syllabus.
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 Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), 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.
