[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 133583, member: 353"] I don’t you understand what the term means in this context. In terms of the Catholic Church, a [I]modernist[/I] is someone who tries to reinterpret or change the traditional teachings of the Church to align with modern philosophy, science, or social trends. Modernists often question or downplay essential doctrines, such as the divinity of Christ, the authority of Scripture, or the supernatural elements of the faith, in favor of more symbolic or human-centered interpretations. The Church, especially under Pope Pius X in the early 20th century, strongly condemned modernism, calling it “the synthesis of all heresies.” He saw it as a dangerous attempt to water down the faith and compromise eternal truths in order to please the spirit of the age. In simple terms: [B]A modernist says, “Let’s change the Church to fit the world.” The traditional Catholic says, “Let’s call the world to conform to the Church.”[/B] [/QUOTE]
