“Certainly this suffices to show superabundantly by how many roads Modernism leads to the annihilation of all religion. The first step in this direction was taken by Protestantism; the second is made by Modernism; the next will plunge headlong into atheism.” Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 39.
“The clergy are asked to return to their ancient lowliness and poverty, and in their ideas and action to be guided by the principles of Modernism; and there are some who, echoing the teaching of their Protestant masters, would like the suppression of ecclesiastical celibacy. What is there left in the Church which is not to be reformed according to their principles?” Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 38.
See that? “echoing the teaching of their Protestant masters”.
Protestantism gave birth to Modernism. If Catholics wouldn’t act like Protestants there wouldn’t be any Modernism in the Church. Let the Protestants keep their filthy Modernism. We don’t want it.
And this is where you are wrong and metmom is correct. Individual Catholics are not to blame. The heirarchy is to blame. 100%. They are the ones, since Vatican II, who have allowed Modernism/Protestantism/false ecumenism (whatever you want to call it) into the Church. THEY are the reason why the Church is in disarray. When THEY start acting like Catholics, then MAYBE lay folks will follow.
“Protestantism gave birth to Modernism. If Catholics wouldn’t act like Protestants there wouldn’t be any Modernism in the Church. Let the Protestants keep their filthy Modernism. We don’t want it”
AMEN. Every time I see Catholics holding hands at Mass during the Our Father I feel like cringing. Ever time I hear that feely-feely guitar being played I want to bust it in a hundred pieces. Every time I notice no genuflecting before someone sits down I want to tell them about it. So basically everytime I go to Mass and see the protestantism that infected the Catholic Church I feel a little sad inside. It’s time for the parish priests to start informing Catholics on how they should act as Catholics.
And the birth control and not carrying about marriage is all from protestantism spilling over in the Church, and priests keeping their mouth shut about any of it at Mass.
