It is interesting that, as we can list terms and phrases modernists always use, there are also words they never use, or strongly dislike. Such words include Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, penance, repentance, Holy Father, Immaculate Conception, hell, purgatory, holiness, sanctification, sin, Saints (note the capital S!), Real Presence, true Church, objective truth, redemption, and morality.

Ain't that the truth!

I'll add my own "ain't it the truth", Stubborn. Ain't it the truth!

The list of watch words at the beginning of the article are what I called "episcopagan speak" when I was still on the other side of the Tiber. I still call them by that term.

Here is another modernist buzz word to be aware of - "social justice." I cringe when I hear it. To me, it has the same effect as if I hear Kerry, Daschle, Teddy K, Willie J. or Hillary (you should pardon all those expressions) say it.

Modernists also avoid the term "Holy Communion" and call it "Eucharist" instead, and substitute the word "grave sin" for "mortal sin".

"Reconciliation" instead of "penance" or "confession". Nobody sins anymore, right? Hey, do the N.O. priests order penance anymore after "reconciliation"???

"Holy Spirit", instead of "Holy Ghost", as in "the Spirit of Vatican II". Yeah, we get it, all too well.
