Those wretches tainted withthe error of Indifferentismand Modernism hold thatdogmatic truth is notabsolute, but relative; that is,that it must adapt itself to thevarying necessities of thetimes and the varying

dispositions ofsouls, since it isnot contained inan unchangeablerevelation, but is,by its verynature, meant toaccommodateitself to the life ofman.

Pope Gregory XVI - “This is indeed the time when the Christian army must unite in the face of the devil’sfury. But also it is the time to see to it that the faithful unite themselves in this holy association to the priestswho are weeping, praying and laboring for the Faith...”

Pope Pius IX - (Vatican Council) “Fulfilling, therefore, the duty of Our supreme pastoral office, We beseech,through the Heart of Jesus Christ, all the faithful... and We order them in the Name of God our Savior, toemploy their care and labors to remove and eliminate these errors from the Holy Church and to spreadabroad the light of the most pure Faith.”

Pope Leo XIII - “It is no longer that Catholics have to stem the distant torrent of unbelievers. It is now amatter of protecting and developing the Faith in their own country... they have the power and duty tohave recourse to spiritual weapons...”

“...It should be borne earnestly in mind that in propagating Christian truth, and warding off errors, thezeal of the laity should, as far as possible, be brought actively into play.”

Pope St. Pius X - “Catholic Action. . . by proposing to restore all things in Christ, becomes a real apostolatefor the honor and glory of Christ Himself.”

Pope Benedict XV - “It is not enough for clergy and laymen who are friends of Catholic Action to go to themasses and organize them into groups. They must also imbue them deeply with the truths of the CatholicFaith, so that everyone knows his rights and duties and lives accordingly.”

Pope Pius XI - “Catholic Action consists not merely in the pursuit of personal holiness, which is, however,before all others, its first and greatest end, but it also consists of a true apostolate in which Catholics ofevery social class participate, coming thus to be united in thought and action. . .”

“All those who participate in Catholic Action and help in the development can do so only by prayer,work, and self-dedication. It is clear that they have no other intention or purpose—and a more noble onecannot be imagined—than to prepare souls to receive the Lord and to extend more each day the kingdomof God, or in a word, to restore all things in Christ.”

“The purpose of Catholic Action is therefore very noble, since it is the same as that of the Church, accord-ing to the principle: The peace of Christ in the reign of Christ; Pax Christi in regno Christi.”

“Catholic Action is not something new – it was Jesus Christ Himself Who laid the first foundation ofCatholic Action, by choosing and educating the Apostles and disciples and fellow workers in His divineapostolate...”

Pope Pius XII - “To you, dear sons and daughters of Catholic Action, who have made it your motto to doand to suffer hard things as Christians and as Romans, to you, Our fatherly affection, Our thanks, andOur praise.”

“Thus prepared, trained, and united, the members of Catholic Action will press forward as apostles intoevery field of society in all directions, wherever there are souls to conquer for Christ, wherever there is acenter or meeting-ground of individual or collective life, over which Christ Our Lord must reign.”

“Yet, when the Son of man comes, will He find, think you, faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:6)

The Church Wants Us to Listen to, and Obey, Encyclical Letters.

“The Church teaches infallibly when it defines, through the Pope alone, as the teacher of allChristians, or through the Pope and the bishops, a doctrine of faith or morals to be held by allthe faithful.a. The Holy Father must intend to use his supreme, apostolic authority when he teachesinfallibly.

b. The Pope can teach without speaking infallibly; for example, he does this in his encyclicalletters. Catholics must accept such teachings, not on faith, but in obedience to the authorityof the Pope and in respect for his wisdom.” Baltimore Catechism
