Rorate Caeli

100 years of Pascendi - I

Te Deum laudamus,
te Domine confitemur,
te æternum Patrem omnis terra veneratur.



On the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 1907, exactly 100 years ago today, Pope Saint Pius X signed the most important document of his glorious Pontificate, the encyclical letter

Pascendi Dominici Gregis
(De Modernistarum Doctrinis)

against the errors of the insidious heretics of his and of our age, the Modernists.

We will propose excerpts of this great work of Pontifical authority and reflections on it and its consequences today and in the next few days.
