MODERNISM AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

 

BRIEF INTRODUCTION.

“Preach the word, insist in season and out of season, rebuke, rebuke, pray, exhort with patience always and an eagerness to teach. Because the time will come when they will not bear the sound doctrine, but rather on the wings of their passions and with the itching in their ears, teachers will be chosen in bulk and they will divert their ears from the truth and the fables will become seized " (II, tim. 4-8 ff.). The times have already come, the words of Saint Paul have a full fulfillment already in these days. It is necessary to remember the encyclicals of the Supreme Pontiffs before the Second Vatican Council who, with providential clairvoyance, warned us about these unfortunate times, not to do so would be to contribute to those who from within the Church blurred the modernist errors that they have wanted to destroy since its root is the sound doctrine of Our Lord Jesus Christ. If it were not for the divine promise given by the very Word of God made Man, the Church would no longer exist: "See that I will be with you until the end of time." there would be reasons to despair and let the wolves in sheep's clothing make and undo the sacred doctrines left by Our Savior and his disciples in the deposit of faith.

But as always happens, few will be those who with a sincere spirit full of true faith, read these writings not mine but those of these venerable Pontiffs, even more so for those few the sacrifice will be made remembering how our Savior, at the moment of his death, was he met very few at the foot of the cross. Dear reader, God bless and enlighten your intelligence for the eternal good of your soul. Note. _ For charity and love of the UNIQUE TRUTH, read this article carefully, even if it is a bit long.

DESTROY THE MASS AND DESTROY THE CHURCH. (M. Luther)

We have wanted to collect here a series of documents through which the Church denounced the  modernist errors ; He wanted to expose all the modern sophistry that was beginning to infect the Catholic people at the end of the 18th century; wanted to prevent this people from the onslaught of the wolves and also wanted to denounce the enemies of the Cross, already at the beginning of the 20th century,  infiltrated deep within the Church itself,  striving to destroy it from within as it raged. the extra wall rush.

This attack has not stopped, but on the contrary it has worsened, and those errors not only persist, but rather have worsened. And if before they could be opposed by the talent and knowledge of men where the discernment of the best scholasticism still shone, now the intellectual level has plunged in such a way that even in the very bosom of the Church there are hardly any men who gather clarity. and determination necessary to confront modern thought.  Where we use the term "thought" in a conventional way, because we do not have before us a system of ideas, a body of doctrine, a theory of the world or an image which gives us justice, but rather a chaos where only a few survive in the environment. crudely hedonistic and materialistic.

Because in these times the two great vices of previous centuries have come together, and they threaten to annihilate man.  On the one hand, the monstrous statism, out of all control and owner of all the media that no prince could ever imagine before. On the other, the exacerbated materialism  served by the modern means of mass production, whose mission is to keep man continually subject to his senses, overwhelmed in such a way that, with much difficulty, he can rise to the plane of the spirit and too often totally crushed. under the sphere of material things, to the point of considering as vain illusions the true foundations of civilized life: that they are not material, but metaphysical.

That is why, as the world rushes towards the abyss with increasing speed, the words of those wise men, faithful helmsmen of Peter's boat, adorned with the discernment of the Holy Spirit and who fulfilled their obligation ,  resonate with greater force. to raise our voices, to warn and urge against the bad seed whose fruits we now gather.

The absolute topicality of each of the texts collected here is surprising; and it should not, since the Catholic truth is always the same, and being none other than that revealed by God and that which follows from the same created nature , it is not surprising that the challengers of that truth always point in the same direction. , always opposite to the truth. The wicked take their constancy of the constancy of the truth.

The documents are exposed in chronological order, with the exception of the Syllabus, which, due to its character more as a catalog than as a discourse, we have preferred to place at the end. Several logical orders can be superimposed on this chronological order, and even a pedagogical order that advises which documents to read before, which after. Since the chronological order is established, let's sketch a logical order.

In the first place, there is a group of documents that denounce modern errors in a more generic way. They are Mirari Vos, Qui Pluribus and Quanta Cura.

Pascendi deserves a special mention, as it is a more orderly exposition of both errors and their refutation, it has become a central reference over time.

Then we have two groups of documents: those that are more inclined towards the reaffirmation of sound principles and those more purposely to denounce specific errors. Among the former we have Aeterni Patris ,  Libertas praestantissimum, Rerum Novarum  and  Diuturnum Illud ; among the latter,  Humanus Genus  and  Quod apostolici muneris . Two more modern documents are Quadragesimo anno, an update of Rerum Novarum and Humani Generis, on false opinions about Catholic doctrine.  

We have not incorporated many other documents into this compilation, so as not to make it thicker than necessary.  More than one of these documents deals specifically with the Socialist and Masonic pestilence. As these two plagues are intertwined with each other (many are the Masonic deputies and senators), and as much of the Gentiles, new apostates, and worse, also part of the Catholics, commune with their twisted principles, It seems convenient to us to explicitly indicate some points:

First:  that Catholicism is irreconcilable both with socialism and with Freemasonry and Communism mortal enemies of the Church. Let no one be fooled. Today we do not expect to find poorly dressed activists in uncouth manners talking about revolutions.  Today we find socialists and freemasons of the middle or upper class, elegantly dressed and who express themselves less aggressively (although perhaps more empty). . But the objectives remain the same, and the means available to them today are certainly formidable, and their knowledge of the masses, of how to manipulate, suggest, shape them, has improved substantially over time. But it is also that they have not renounced in any way the violent methods of other times. Simply, today they can administer violence in a more subtle way, and use it at one point or another on Earth, as circumstances warrant. Today it may not be convenient for them to torture and murder Catholics in Europe as they did a few decades ago. It doesn't matter: they torture and murder elsewhere.

Second, that neither one nor the other have in the least denounced their stated purpose of eradicating the Church from the face of the Earth.  Today, all the forces of evil converge against the Church: socialism, freemasonry, capitalism, communism, islam, sects, international institutions, national parliaments, the vast majority of the training media of the Catholic people, such as the press, television, internet etc.

Third:  that Catholics, of any condition, should not be fooled by the words of these sects, since, trained by the same devil, there are two main ways in which they lose Catholics. One, proposing monstrous principles, but wrapping them in soft and flattering words, and often invoking and posing as high ideals. Another, that they do not use language in a straight sense. Thus, when they say "justice", or "peace", or whatever else, who would not agree to wish them? But Catholics be warned how then, with power in their hands, they put these principles into practice.

Fourth, that many Catholics, without abandoning their faith, have been inadvertently moved to accept apparently healthy abstract principles, from which dire consequences follow out of logical necessity.  These Catholics enter by way of the slaughterhouse, without noticing it. And many who have already been born in a pagan environment simply do not conceive that things can be otherwise, with which, to the error that spreads through education, television and a thousand other media, an almost absolute ignorance of History is added. (replaced by a false, purely ideological version), which closes any higher perspective.

Fifth:  the contamination of the clergy and of many institutions of religious life is especially to be deplored.  Today enemies of the Faith frequently celebrate Mass. Some mutilate the evangelical message, hiding truths that should be known and that are an essential part of this message. Others have adhered to deviations already condemned, such as Arianism or Pelagianism. Others have been seduced by socialist or Masonic proposals. 

Others, finally, there are who have assimilated the anti-Catholic propaganda. Others, wanting to appear wise, preach themselves, to their supposed erudition, and dispatch themselves against the simple devotions of the faithful people, which are of a depth that they do not even suspect, often puffed up precisely in the profane science of the books of the enemies of Christ.

Sixth:  Catholics must reject the prevailing social principles, and in particular those that establish that religion must be expelled from the state. And they must reject this particular principle because it is quadrupled false. First: because History teaches that the substance of civilizations is religion, and that if it dries up, civilization disappears. Second: because, given the previous historical fact, it follows that one religion can only be substituted for another. Thus, we see the decline of Catholicism in the West that the growth without rate of islam has followed. Furthermore, all these Masonic principles are intended to constitute a true religion of a naturalistic nature. Third, because, this new religion is promoted precisely from the parliaments and international institutions, and there are countless Masons who already occupy positions of power. If the same principles that they want for Catholicism were applied to them, None of them will have the right to be where they are, or do they not print the presuppositions of their religion from their posts? Fourth: because the person is one, and it is against nature to pretend that the Faith is reduced to the personal sphere; that citizens can be clandestinely Catholic and at the same time have to admit iniquitous, unjust and perverse laws, contrary to the Law of God. Catholics must claim a Catholic State, since, if a State is based on true justice and charity, on the true nature of the human person, the common good will be followed, and precisely the reason for the State.

Seventh:  Catholics must be consistent with their religion. This not only means that they have to practice their religion, but that they have to adhere to the logical consequences that follow. Because either there is a God, or there is no God. But if there is a God, either all religions are false, or there is one and only one that is true. Catholics must know that theirs is the true religion, and reject any claim to the contrary. In particular, they must first reject religious indifferentism and must reject what the enemies of Christ call "multiculturalism." Well, the only way that different cultures can coexist is by emptying them of everything that makes them effective, that is, reducing them to pure folklore. So the advocates of multiculturalism are actually enemies of all cultures. On the contrary, the Catholic religion, being universal, transcends and perfects all culture, and is therefore genuinely multicultural.

Eighth:  the Catholic must be on guard. Just as "multiculturalism" is a fraud against cultures, the enemy uses counterfeit versions of many other noble words, such as freedom, equality, love and many others.

It is necessary for the Catholic to know how to distinguish between the true concept and the false concept, coined in the bilges of the sects to cloud the sources of understanding, which is based on discourse, which in turn requires the correspondence between terms and reality. of things. There is no doubt that the voices used by the different languages ​​are conventional, but the correspondence between the concept that the voice represents and the reality that it wants to designate is not at all conventional. It is through the alteration of words that concepts are altered first and then reality itself.

Many other things can be said, but it is preferable now that we keep silence and that the reader turns to the words contained in this compilation: words that are wise, true, vigorous because they have not lost relevance. Let the reader go there and fulfill his obligations as a Catholic, which are not limited to the practice of the sacraments, but oblige him to the good fight of the Faith. And to fight it is necessary to discern and know, understand and reflect.
