Pray for peace--for those affected by the hurricane, fire, and all disasters.

Pius X refuted Modernism. Modernism is an attempt within the Catholic Church to defy the teaching of the Church by presenting the false teachings as if they are the teachings of the Church, e.g. insisting on obedience to the bishop (any bishop) when he is propagating a false movement like "feminism." This inside movement attacks the holy Priesthood by claiming that everyone is the same and that priests do not have any special powers except to confect the Sacraments. Modern feminists say that the priests should marry. They should wear secular clothes. They don't have to pray the holy Office or pray too much. Socializing is more important than praying. If this sounds like politics, you are correct. We can call them by their first names, feminists say about priests. Feminists in the Church will also defend homosexuality, which is politically correct today in the decadent society. Feminists defy that True Objectivity is wrong and so is the truth in what feminists state or imply. They will say that homosexuality should not be practiced, but human nature is so strong that we cannot call the use a sin. Therefore, most homosexuals will interpret that to suit themselves.

Modernists also like to issue general statements that can be interpreted in ways that always favor their materialistic comfort zone. If a priest defies this ambiguity, he is labeled as too rigid and off he goes, which has happened too many times in the Diocese of Camden. Priest shortage? Only if you carry out the obvious attack on Our Lord. The Marian Movement of Priests is a traditionalist movement that destroys every tenet of the Modernists. It holds to the key principles of spiritual growth:

1. Recognition of the Sacrifice of the Mass holding the primary place in any Catholic's life,
2. Eucharistic Adoration augmenting the Sacrifice so that only God is adored, and
   
3. Marian devotion

Unless a Catholic lives these devotions, he cannot find the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Who is Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Modernists in the Church, in our Diocese of Camden, refuse to seek this position--a sacrificial, persevering life of the Spirit. They follow the safe, satanic way of pleasure, power, and politics.

Praised be Jesus Christ,
Now and Forever!
