Excerpt from Letters to His Holiness, Pope Pius X
But before going to the heart of the matter, a word must be said concerning the magnitude Of this question of Modernism. It is not a squabble intra parietes, one of the petty ecclesiastical quarrels which the student Of large problems can afford to despise. It is fundamentally a great question Of spiritual liberty, attended, as advanc ing liberty nearly always is, with the tragic element of suffering, as men strive to reach forward to the new light Of the intellect while not relinquishing the ancient loyalties Of the heart. It has brought a crisis perhaps of life and death to the mightiest religious organization that has ever existed among men. It aims at a restatement of the creed, a revolutionary change in the external polity, and a regeneration Of the inner spirit Of the mother-church Of Christendom. Upon the issue of it de pends, to an extent which those who know the move ment best are most inclined to magnify, the future place Of Roman Catholicism in the history of civilization.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a work of religious education for devout Christian readers who are dissatisfied with the Roman Catholic Church's current stance on religious dogma. The author seeks to inform and inspire priests in particular to challenge the established authority's overly rigid adherence to outmoded church traditions such as priestly celibacy and dogmatic adherence to ancient texts. This book provides a comprehensive overview of Catholicism's evolution, arguing that the church's unwillingness to modernize and adapt to the changing world will lead to its ultimate decline. The author argues that it is not in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ to prioritize the preservation of tradition above all else, and that religious doctrine should not be immune from critical analysis and scrutiny.
