Pascendi Part 9

We look at paragraph 25. The modernist doesn't really want "Church-State separation." He wants the Church to be subordinate to the State. We discuss the success of false ecumenism within the clergy. Modernists change not only their opinions but their own definition of dogmas to fit the times. Modernists do not like "pomp." They want a bare religion and find an apparent ally in Pope Francis. This is the modernist doctrine of "Kenosis." They want the Church to empty Herself to the point of dying. The modernist feels as though it is his duty to help the Church die.Pascendi: http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10pasce.htm

Paragraph 25 is discussed, in which Pius addresses the Modernist's desire for Church-State separation. We talk about this in light of its consequence: false ecumenism. Pascendi: http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10pasce.htm

This episode covers paragraphs 21-23 in which Pius addresses the Modernist's attack on the Sacraments, the Bible and the Church. We talk about how thoroughly infiltrated the Church is with Modernism when we address a specific statement by the Holy Pontiff Francis. Pascendi: http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10pasce.htm

This episode covers paragraphs 17-20. Pius writes about the conduct of modernists and they particular dislike for the Church Fathers and Councils as they do not like dogma. We discuss the modernist's theology in some detail. We also discuss how modernists put scientists up as a type of magisterium with whom they go to for answers. Pascendi: http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10pasce.htm

We cover paragraphs 14 and 15. Pius writes about those Modernists who fall into "pseudo-mysticism." We talk about the Catholic Charismatic movement in this context.

Covering paragraph 13 we discuss the modernists' love for "evolving dogma" and contrast this with the proper understanding of "development of doctrine." Evolving dogma is really code for "changing the beliefs of the Church to suit whims of the modernists." "Development of Doctrine" is the "growth in the Church's understanding of the truths of divine revelation" (Fr. John Hardon.)Pascendi: http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10pasce.htm

In this episode we cover paragraph 12 of Pascendi. Pope Pius writes about the modernists view of dogma. Modernists like to reinterpret dogma to fit their current behavior. Because everything is relative to the modernists, they therefore have no objective truth to base dogma on. Pascendi: http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10pasce.htm

Here we cover paragraph 11 in which St. Pius discusses how modernists use the intellect. He explains that modernists only use the intellect AFTER they have an emotional experience. The intellect, they say, is there to make sense of their religious sentimentality. Finally, we discuss some of the protestant and Catholic groups that use religious sentimentality in the way Pius describes.

Paragraphs 9-10 are discussed here. We look at the technique of the modernists and how they discount miracles of Christ. Modernists claim that people of faith have added a religious sense to Christ and that is how faith has developed. Pius deals with this accordingly with the appropriate anathema.

We cover paragraphs 7-8 in this episode. We discuss the term "vital immanence" and how this idea of the modernists dictates their entire philosophy. Modernists believe that all truth comes from within themselves, as opposed to from God. We review Pius' treatment of the modernist's worship of science and the ultimate folly behind their philosophy. http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10pasce.htm
