We speak of the good old days, but I actually wonder if they really existed.<br /> <br />It seems that even during the eras when Catholics were supposedly strong and were faithful to the Church, Pope Pius X and Pope Pius XII both wrote encyclicals which sought to warn of movements or ideas amongst the faithful which were dangerous (I'm referring to Pascendi Gregis and Humani Generis only because these are the ones I know of! Of course I know that there was quite a large gap between Pius X and Pius XII).<br /><br />The devil is always trying to attack the Church, so won't the points made in Quas Primas always be relevant since human nature doesn't really change? Won't we always be fighting lukewarmness and modernism within the ranks?Rhoslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11974106206703455204noreply@blogger.com
