MODERNISM. A PAPAL ALLOCUTION.
By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. ROME, 17th December. The i'ope, in his allocution to the Consistory on the occasion of tho creation of four Cardinals, including tho Archbishop of Rneims and Marseilles, deplored tho disastrous propaganda of "modernism" vvhich had come into evidenco in tho bosom of Catholicism itself. If, his Holiness said, the modernists frankly joined forces with tho enemies of tho church, tho evil might bo less, since 'God would enlighten those who were being misled. He added tnat tho episcopacy had greeted the Papal diroctions with eagerness. The Encyclical against Modernism, which is really a complement of the syllabus issued by Papal authority, declares thut Modernism constitutes a serious danger for the church, and after entering into a minute dissertation upon it, from vanouk points of view, pronounces it to be dangerous in philosophy, faith, theology, history, criticism, and reforms, from which promises tho conclusion is drawn that Modernism is the synthesis of all heresy, and must logically lead to atheism.
