PRESENT-DAY ERRORS
PAPAL ENCYCLICAL
LONDON, July 3.
A warning" against present errors which sometimes "come close to heresies" is given by the Pope in an encyclical which has been issued on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his consecration as a bishop, says the "Osservatore Romano." The Pope named the chief errors as follows: "First, false mysticism, inclining us to identify ourselves with Christ and deify ourselves in Him; secondly, spiritual laziness, implying that a Christian need not make an effort to achieve salvation; thirdly, disregard for the sacrament of confession, except when the soul is burdened with mortal sin; fourthly, undervaluation of the virtue of private prayer to God; fifthly, a tendency to see Christ as only a mediator, forgetting that. He is the Son of God and God Himself."
The encyclical fervently appeals for union of all the faithful within the Church.
