Thank you for your ex cathedra teaching, Pope nanetteclaret.

Modernism is heresy, not doubt. But you don’t have the authority to declare either heresy or heretic.

I am always interested in hearing this kind of thing. A Catholic does exactly what we are taught to do, e.g. admonish sinners and instruct the ignorant, and they are mockingly called "Pope so-and-so." Why? Because, in today's modernist Church only a pope has the authority to express the spiritual works of mercy. Only a pope can say that something is wrong or heresy. No, I am sorry, and I mean no disrespect to those who think this, but you are wrong. It does not take a pope, when hearing a person say that atheists are saved because they are atheists, and that it is the role of Catholics not to correct them or instruct them but rather to actually confirm and encourage them in their error because they believe it (which is to teach Catholics to participate in the sins of others, a frankly diabolical concept), to condemn that statement as both error and heresy. If that isn't heresy then there is none, and it doesn't take a pope to see this and point it out.

Thank you for your reply. The Error you describe falls under Indifferentism and False Ecumenism (that all beliefs are the same), “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true,” and “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation, and arrive at eternal salvation.” These are Errors number 15 and 16 condemned in the “Syllabus of Errors.”

All I am saying to everyone is to read the Encylicals and see what previous Popes have taught and how that corresponds (or doesn’t) to the teachings of the Church since VII. It isn’t difficult!
