And that non-biblical world view developed out of the Protestant Revolution. It isn’t an accident that the Protestant Revolution came about in the 16th century and in just four centuries wherever that Protestant ethos went in the new nation states, government, commerce, philosophy, education, culture, etc. liberalism and modernism came in its wake destroying Christian culture and a biblical worldview. Pope Pius X knew this is what happened already over a century ago. He wrote:

“These reasons suffice to show superabundantly by how many roads Modernism leads to atheism and to the annihilation of all religion. The error of Protestantism made the first step on this path; that of Modernism makes the second; atheism makes the next.” section 39; PASCENDI DOMINICI GREGIS: ON THE DOCTRINE OF THE MODERNISTS
ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS X, SEPTEMBER 8, 1907

I think you misunderstood me. I did not mean to make this a Catholic v. Protestant argument. Countries where Catholicism is strong fair no better. Look at the northeastern United States where the RCC is more influential than say the deep south. People are more liberal and the leaders elected in no way reflect the teachings of their Church. The problem cuts across denominational lines.

BTW- I love that quote from Jerome. If Christ was the Word in the flesh then ignorance of Christ is ignorance of scripture indeed. Ties in nicely with our conversation.
