Nihil Obstat Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 To be fair, some modern encyclicals are, to varying degrees, implicitly anti-modernist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisChildForever Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Note nothing beyond the pontificate of Pope Pius XII... And the conclusion you've reached is...?

Nihil Obstat Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Pope Paul's greatest accomplishment by far, imo, was Humanae Vitae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Isn't it obvious what has happened? Other pressing things have come up, such as, I don't know, the birth control pill, abortion, the destruction of the family, all of which have been covered in recent encyclicals? Take note that in the early Church, there were many documents concerning Arianism. They stopped making them, even when Arianism was still present. Why? Because they figured nine thousand documents condemning it would suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Pope Paul's greatest accomplishment by far, imo, was Humanae Vitae. One of the greatest encyclicals of our time, in my opinion. You know, "our time" being rather relative, since neither you nor I were alive when it was actually written. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perigrina Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Isn't it obvious what has happened? Overt modernism was pretty much wiped out by Pius X. While its influence remains in subtle ways, the direct attacks on modernism made by past popes is not the best approach to the covert, subtle version of modernism we are currently dealing with. The situation has changed so the response of the Church has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation has changed so the response of the Church has changed. While agree in principle, it also would not take much convincing for me to think that a new encyclical condemning remaining strains of Modernist thought would be a good idea. Unfortunately it was never wiped out root and branch, and some of its ideas have gained ground in recent decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a large extent, this was done in Fides et Ratio http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_15101998_fides-et-ratio_en.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortify ii Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 It's interesting that you feel modernism has essentially died out. To me it seems many of the modernist positions have been vindicated and the things past popes warned against now official policy. I do find it remarkable that the only times infallibility has been evoked in living memory was again contraception and for an all male priesthood.
