Just because we are conservative doesn't mean we are anti-modernist, does it? The Catholic Church certainly embraces science and philosophy. What are American democracy, capitalism, the bill of rights, and internet blogging if not modernist?
"Just because we are conservative"
We?
"doesn't mean we are anti-modernist, does it?"
Modernism has a specific definition within the context of Catholicism. See the writings of Saint Pius X.
"What are American democracy"
America is a republic, not a democracy.
"capitalism"
Capitalism is not an "ism." It's just the way people act when they are free. Goes back as far as history.
"the bill of rights"
The Bill of Rights is grounded in Natural Rights philosophy, which does not fall under the heading of modernism as the term is used in the Catholic Church.
"internet blogging"
The Soviet union had its samizdat; the French revolutionists had their pamphleteers, and in earlier ages information was passed by word of mouth.
BLogging is just a more efficient way to do what has always been done.
