Editorial

Dear Fellow Catholics:

When the ex-Augustinian monk, Father Martin Luther, O.S.A., unlocked Lucifer from the chains which had held him in check since the Bloody Sacrifice of God the Son, Jesus Christ, on the Cross on that first Good Friday, Lucifer set loose a flood of lies and error upon the Catholic world which he had apparently been planning during his 16 Centuries of confinement, to which Saint John alludes:  "I saw a star fall from heaven upon the earth, and there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit" (Apocalypse 9:1-2).

Some of these lying errors had to do with the incorrect interpretation of the Bible.  This is why there are so many different so-called "bibles" in circulation today!  During the 16th Century, for example, various Protestant leaders, including Luther, interpolated and mis-translated and even omitted parts of the Bible in order to try to justify and to otherwise try to substantiate their heretical teachings.

Unfortunately, this tendency was not limited to the now over 300 different denominations of Protestant churches.  It also began to take root in the Roman Catholic Church.  The Roman Catholic Pope, Leo XIII, Gioacchino Pecci [Wednesday, February 20, 1878 - Monday, July 20, 1903], recognized that this was a growing problem and hence established a Pontifical Council or Commission on Biblical matters with his Apostolic letter "Vigilantes Studiique Memores," of Thursday, October 30, 1902.

Unfortunately, certain rebellious spirits did not want to submit to the authority of this Pontifical Commission on Biblical matters, which explains why their actions were reprimanded and condemned by his successor, Saint Pius X, Giuseppe Sarto [Tuesday, August 4, 1903 - Thursday, August 20, 1914].

In addition to the condemnation of those who interpreted the Bible according to their own personal whims, and not in accord to the prescriptions of the Roman Catholic Church, obliquely referenced, namely according to the unanimous consensus of all of the Fathers of the Catholic Church, as given by their required sworn Oath, a.k.a. the Profession of Faith, mandated by the Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Saint Pius X also went on to not only condemn, but to automatically EXCOMMUNICATE Latae Sententiae those who propagate and/or defend and/or opinionate and/or teach the heresy of Modernism which heresy Saint Pius X had previous condemned in his Encyclical  Pascendi Dominici Gregis of  Sunday, September 8, 1907.

Saint Pius X goes on to clearly explain that "this excommunication is to be understood as salvis poenis, which may be incurred by those who have violated in any way the said documents, as propagators and defenders of heresies, when their propositions, opinions and teachings are heretical, as has happened more than once in the case of the adversaries of both these documents, especially when they advocate the errors of the Modernists that is, the synthesis of all heresies".

Thus, the actual source for the frequently repeated quotation today:  "Modernism is the synthesis of all heresies".

Because the Vatican 2 church is awash in the heresy of Modernism and because its own clergy, including, but not excluding, all of its popes, and many of its cardinals, bishops (of whatever ecclesiastical rank), priests, and religious, etc., it is of great importance and urgency for everyone to realize and to understand that to be or become a Modernist heretic is not some option or choice, as if this was nothing more than choosing various food items in a cafeteria, but rather that there is a SEVERE PENALTY attached to this heresy, namely that of automatic excommunication Latae Sententiae!  There is no such thing as a "cafeteria Catholic"!  If a person rejects even ONE dogma of the Catholic Church, that person is no longer a member of the Catholic Church because that person has been automatically cut off from it in virtue of being automatically excommunicated by Praestantia Scripturae Sacrae.

Please read the full text of this vitally important document for today!  We present the full text of this very brief document because it should be self-evident that snow-balls will fly in Hell before any Vatican 2 pope or cardinal or bishop or priest makes a copy of it available to YOU!  IF they were going to do it, like all of the other texts of Roman Catholic Councils, Popes, etc., in the various issues of Catholic, they would have already done it!

It seems self-evident to Us that the reason why they have NOT done it is simply because they do not want YOU to know that they have been automatically excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church in virtue of the automatic excommunication Latae Sententiae of the Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius X, found in Praestantia Scripturae Sacrae!

Happy reading and God bless you!

In the Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary

PRAESTANTIA SCRIPTURAE SACRAE
 

Monday, November 18, 1907

Motu proprio of Our Most Holy Lord Pius X., by Divine Providence Pope, on the decisions of the Pontifical Commission on the Bible and on the censures and penalties against those who neglect to observe the prescriptions against the errors of the Modernists:

In his encyclical letter "Providentissimus Deus," given on November 18, 1893, Our predecessor, Leo XIII, of immortal memory, after describing the dignity of Sacred Scripture and commending the study of it, set forth the laws which govern the proper study of the Holy Bible; and having proclaimed the divinity of these books against the errors and calumnies of the rationalists, he at the same time defended them against the false teachings of what is known as the higher criticism, which, as the Pontiff most wisely wrote, are clearly nothing but the commentaries of rationalism derived from a misuse of philology and kindred studies. Our predecessor, too, seeing that the danger was constantly on the increase and wishing to prevent the propagation of rash and erroneous views, by his Apostolic letter "Vigilantes Studiique Memores," given on October 30, 1902, established a Pontifical Council or Commission on Biblical matters, composed of several Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church distinguished for their learning and wisdom, to which Commission were added as consultors a number of men in sacred orders chosen from among the learned in theology and in the Holy Bible, of various nationalities and differing in their methods and views concerning exegetical studies. In so doing the Pontiff had in mind as an advantage most adapted for the promotion of study and for the time in which we live that in this Commission there should be the fullest freedom for proposing, examining and judging all opinions whatsoever, and that the Cardinals of the Commission were not to reach any definite decision, as described in the said apostolic letters, before they had examined the arguments in favor and against the question to be decided, omitting nothing which might serve to show in the clearest light the true and genuine state of the Biblical questions under discussion. Only after all this had been done were the decisions reached to be submitted for the approval of the Supreme Pontiff and then promulgated.

After mature examination and the most diligent deliberations the Pontifical Biblical Commission has happily given certain decisions of a very useful kind for the proper promotion and direction on safe lines of Biblical studies. But We observe that some persons, unduly prone to opinions and methods tainted by pernicious novelties and excessively devoted to the principle of false liberty, which is really immoderate license and in sacred studies proves itself to be a most insidious and a fruitful source of the worst evils against the purity of the faith, have not received and do not receive these decisions with the proper obedience.

Wherefore We find it necessary to declare and to expressly prescribe, and by this Our act We do declare and decree that all are bound in conscience to submit to the decisions of the Biblical Commission relating to doctrine, which have been given in the past and which shall be given in the future, in the same way as to the decrees of the Roman congregations approved by the Pontiff; nor can all those escape the note of disobedience or temerity, and consequently of grave sin, who in speech or writing contradict such decisions, and this besides the scandal they give and the other reasons for which they may be responsible before God for other temerities and errors which generally go with such contradictions.

Moreover, in order to check the daily increasing audacity of many Modernists who are endeavoring by all kinds of sophistry and devices to detract from the force and efficacy not only of the decree "Lamentabili Sane Exitu" (the so-called Syllabus), issued by Our order by the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition on July 3 of the present year, but also of Our Encyclical letters "Pascendi Dominici Gregis" given on September 8 of this same year, We do by Our Apostolic Authority repeat and confirm both that decree of the Supreme Sacred Congregation and those encyclical letters of ours, adding the penalty of excommunication against their contradictors, and this We declare and decree that should anybody, which may God forbid, be so rash as to defend any one of the propositions, opinions or teachings condemned in these documents he falls, ipso facto, under the censure contained under the chapter "Docentes" of the constitution "Apostolicae Sedis," which is the first among the excommunications Latae Sententiae, simply reserved to the Roman Pontiff. This excommunication is to be understood as salvis poenis, which may be incurred by those who have violated in any way the said documents, as propagators and defenders of heresies, when their propositions, opinions and teachings are heretical, as has happened more than once in the case of the adversaries of both these documents, especially when they advocate the errors of the Modernists that is, the synthesis of all heresies.

Wherefore We again and most earnestly exhort the Ordinaries of the dioceses and the heads of Religious Congregations to use the utmost vigilance over teachers, and first of all in the seminaries; and should they find any of them imbued with the errors of the Modernists and eager for what is new and noxious, or lacking in docility to the prescriptions of the Apostolic See, in whatsoever way published, let them absolutely forbid the teaching office to such; so, too, let them exclude from sacred orders those young men who give the very faintest reason for doubt that they favor condemned doctrines and pernicious novelties. We exhort them also to take diligent care to put an end to those books and other writings, now growing exceedingly numerous, which contain opinions or tendencies of the kind condemned in the encyclical letters and decree above mentioned; let them see to it that these publications are removed from Catholic publishing houses, and especially from the hands of students and the clergy. By doing this they will at the same time be promoting real and solid education, which should always be a subject of the greatest solicitude for those who exercise sacred authority.

All these things We will and order to be sanctioned and established by Our Apostolic Authority, aught to the contrary notwithstanding.

Given at Rome in Saint Peter's, the 18th November, 1907, the fifth year of Our Pontificate.

Pius PP. X. [Editor:  Emphasis Added to some of the above.]
