Publisher's Synopsis
The Program of Modernism: A Reply to the Encyclical of Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1908) is a book written by George Tyrrell. The book is a response to the encyclical letter issued by Pope Pius X in 1907, which condemned the modernist movement within the Catholic Church. The encyclical, Pascendi Dominici Gregis, outlined the dangers of modernism and called for its eradication from the Church. Tyrrell, a theologian and member of the modernist movement, wrote The Program of Modernism as a rebuttal to the Pope's encyclical. In his book, Tyrrell defends the modernist movement and argues that it is not a threat to the Church, but rather a necessary evolution of Catholic theology. He argues that the Church must adapt to the changing world and that modernism provides a way to reconcile faith and reason. The Program of Modernism is a significant work in the history of the Catholic Church, as it represents a challenge to the traditional authority of the Pope and the Church hierarchy. The book was controversial and led to Tyrrell's excommunication from the Church in 1907. Despite this, The Program of Modernism remains an important work in the history of Catholic theology and the modernist movement.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.
