“It’s not Protestantism. It’s Modernism.”

Protestantism and Modernism are overlapping and the former leads to the latter.

“The Church has been infected with it since just before Vatican II.”

False. The Catholic Church has been infected with modernists since the late 19th century - hence Pascendi dominici gregis was issued in 1907 not 1957.

I can agree that they overlap. Both Modernism and Protestantism can be found in the New "Mass". And you're probably right. Modernism started infecting the Church awhile ago, but the decades prior to and including Vatican II rubber stamped it. Pascendi warned the Church, but it fell on too many deaf ears. And we still have it falling on deaf ears.

Those Bible-only protestants on this board who take issue with the Catholic Church nowadays have good reason to. I still think they are wrong in their theology, but to outright blow them off for some of their criticism of the current state of the Catholic Church and its so-called leaders is wrong as well.

And I thought I could never say that.

Overlapping? Why wouldn’t Protestantism be a condition precedent to modernism? Isn’t modernism, by it’s subjective truth, the progeny of Protestanism?
