Syllabus of Errors

Okay, so I wanted to pull this up by Pope Pius IX on current errors or quanta cura.

He adds this famous syllabus of errors, and one of those phrases, 39, this is a list of heretical statements.

It's kind of cool.

The state as being the origin and source of all rights.

Men can find the way of eternal salvation and attain eternal salvation in the worship of any religion.

That's proposition 16 from the syllabus of errors.

It's a condemned statement.

So again, as an aside, the following is a condemned statement from the syllabus of errors.

Men can find the way of eternal salvation and attain eternal salvation in the worship of any religion.

That is condemned by the syllabus of errors.

We must at least entertain good hope concerning the eternal salvation of all those who are in no way within the true church of Christ.

Proposition 17 from the Syllabus of Errors, which is condemned.

But what strikes me too is, once again, in historically contextualizing all of this, the...

We can't ignore the fact of the modernist crisis sort of hanging like a shadow over all this, because what the modernist crisis eventuated in, after Pius X and Paschendi and the Syllabus of Errors, I don't want to overstate this and feed into yet another mythology of the oppressive, horrible church of the Index of Books, but there was a stifling of theological creativity.

And the allies of the Holy Office in stifling that creativity were the neo-scholastics.

Sorry, they were.

Pope Leo XII said that anyone separated from the Roman Catholic Church however unblameable in other respects, has no part in eternal life.

In the Syllabus of Errors, now there are 80 of them, written in 1864 by Pius IX, it says that eternal salvation of any out of the true church is not even to be hoped for.

Priests vow to defend this syllabus when ordained.

John XXIII in his coronation address in 1958 said that Into the fold of Jesus Christ no one can enter unless under the guidance of the sovereign pontiff.
