1452 34 | admit a vital evolution, springing from and corresponding with
1453 27 | hardly, or not at all, the spurs of progress. The progressive
1454 28 | there is to be nothing stable, nothing immutable in the
1455 32 | those that regard the first stage of the facts from those
1456 43 | that looks to them like a stain in the history of the Church.

1477 13 | and to be changed. This is strongly affirmed by the Modernists,
1478 3 | deepest fires. And having struck at this root of immortality,
1479 29 | 29. After having studied the Modernist as philosopher,

1494 39 | Certainly this suffices to show superabundantly by how many roads Modernism
1495 47 | pursued in a half-hearted or superficial way, and, sad to say, now
1496 34 | multitude of Doctors, infinitely superior to them in genius, in erudition,
1497 17 | would be a great mistake to suppose that, given these theories,
1498 17 | notwithstanding that they are supposed to be strangers to each
1499 23 | You must start with the supposition that the Church has its
1500 55 | arguments that they are false or suppositions. In passing judgment on
