The Program Of Modernism

''The Program of Modernism'' is a book written by George Tyrrell in response to the 1907 encyclical letter of Pope Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis. The encyclical condemned modernism, a movement within the Catholic Church that sought to reconcile Catholicism with modern thought and culture. Tyrrell, a Jesuit priest and theologian, was a prominent modernist and saw the encyclical as an attack on his beliefs.In the book, Tyrrell defends modernism and argues that it is not a threat to the Catholic Church, but rather a natural evolution of Catholic thought in response to changes in society. He criticizes the Pope’s view of modernism as a heresy and argues that it is a legitimate theological position. He also addresses specific criticisms of modernism raised in the encyclical, such as its alleged relativism and rejection of traditional Catholic teachings.Overall, ''The Program of Modernism'' is a passionate defense of a movement that sought to bring the Catholic Church into the modern world. It is an important historical document that sheds light on a controversial period in the Church’s history and the debates that shaped it.With The Text Of The Encyclical In An English Version.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
