Meditating on Pope Saint Pius X’s condemnation of modernism as the “synthesis of all heresies” ought to lead one to reflect on how significant the heresy of modernism really is. Heresy results in the death of the soul. There is a reason why prominent, incorrigible heretics were jailed, condemned, and/or put to death during the Middle Ages. If someone is publicly leading others to eternal damnation, removing them from society to protect the common good, when prudent, was a suitable course of action. ¹ Unfortunately, the Church’s visible hierarchy no longer condemns heresy.
