現代主義與教義是否必然衝突?

天主教曾經看得很負面。教宗碧岳十世(庇護十世, Pius X )在《論現代主義通諭》(Pascendi Dominici Gregis , 1907 ) (http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_x/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-x_enc_19070908_pascendi-dominici-gregis_en.html) 說過:「現代主義包含了每一種異端。」(參見下引資料,引自 New Advent 天主教網上百科 )

到了
梵蒂岡第二屆大公會議(1962-1965 ) (http://www.cathlinks.org/doc.htm#teach21) 之時,教會存在著改革派同保守派的張力,而梵二甚至可視為兩個傾向的妥協。當時有兩種相互對立但同時並存的傾向:Aggiornamento 即跟上時代、與時並進,意味著改革、開放、開明、現代的精神,期待著一個開放的未來;Ressourcement,即溯本歸源,回歸(天特會議之前 )教會傳統的精神。後者跟前者正好相反,如何綜合矛盾,正好是梵二以來的一個難題。

傳有保守傾向的新教宗上任,本港陳日君主教突然說快要退休,本地報章 (http://www.armbell.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1750&mforum=liberalhk) 難免猜測天主教是否打算走上一條重視靈性而不著重面向世界和社會參與的道路。

"Modernism is modern in a false sense of the word; it is a morbid state of conscience among Catholics, and especially young Catholics, that professes manifold ideals, opinions, and tendencies. From time to time these tendencies work out into systems, that are to renew the basis and superstructure of society, politics, philosophy, theology, of the Church herself and of the Christian religion".

... The spirit of this plan of reform may be summarized under the following heads:

- A spirit of complete emancipation, tending to weaken ecclesiastical authority; the emancipation of science, which must traverse every field of investigation without fear of conflict with the Church; the emancipation of the State, which should never be hampered by religious authority; the emancipation of the private conscience whose inspirations must not be overridden by papal definitions or anathemas; the emancipation of the universal conscience, with which the Church should be ever in agreement;

- A spirit of movement and change, with an inclination to a sweeping form of evolution such as abhors anything fixed and stationary;

- A spirit of reconciliation among all men through the feelings of the heart. Many and varied also are the modernist dreams of an understanding between the different Christian religions, nay, even between religion and a species of atheism, and all on a basis of agreement that must be superior to mere doctrinal differences.
Such are the fundamental tendencies. As such, they seek to explain, justify, and strengthen themselves in an error, to which therefore one might give the name of "essential" modernism. What is this error? It is nothing less than the perversion of dogma.
