"Today's Modernism Is More Subtle, More Camouflaged, More Forceful and More Hypocritical."

The thoughts of an Italian Bishop who lived through the entire crisis, from Pascendi and Lamentabili, to the full-blown modernism of VII.

From Rorate Cæli

By Msgr Luigi Carlo Borromeo, Bishop of Pesaro (1893 – 1975) 

"[...] as time goes on, we need to realize more that the divergence between the two currents [one faithful to the Magisterium of the Church and the modernist one] is not of form, but of substance; it is not about the way the truth should be expressed and taught, but about the truth itself.

We are in full-blown modernism.

Not the naive, open, aggressive, and combative modernism at the time of Pius X.  No. Today's Modernism is more subtle, more camouflaged, more forceful, and more hypocritical. It doesn't want to start another tempest; it wants the entire Church to find itself modernist without realizing it.”

[From the diary of Monsignor Luigi Carlo Borromeo, Bishop of Pesaro].
