Pope Saint Pius X clearly recognized that his first duty as Pope was to protect his flock from false teaching, and to preserve the integrity of the Catholic Faith. It is a theme to which he returned constantly throughout his Pontificate.1 Last month, we focused on Pope Saint Pius X’s successful efforts to combat Modernism, the synthesis of all heresies. To fulfill his sacred duty of protecting his flock against poisonous doctrine, he issued three documents against Modernism: Lamen- tabile sane exitu (The Syllabus of Errors, 1907), Pascendi dominici gregis (Encyclical against Modernism, 1907) and Sacrorum antistitum (The Oath Against Modernism, 1910).

Well, even the sppx admit Pius X was NOT "successful."

Something just struck me tonight. In what way was Pius X different re "heretics" compared to JPII?

Think of it, both issued Documents and JP II ( I do this ALL the time) is faulted for writing rules/encycicals and norms ect and not "acting" while Pope Pius X is excused for doing the same thing. Why didn't Pius X excomminicate these heritics insted of letting them remain in their positions to undermine the Faith?

I have just one question...is Venarri an idiot or are his readers idiots?

PS, I may not be long for this site. I joined when my position was "reorganised out of existence" when we had a merger in the company I worked for.

I expect to be back full time soon, but, I want to thank men like hermann who have provided me with hope and resources.

There are some VERY intelligent people here
