Sacrorum Antistitum
The Oath Against Modernism was instituted by Pope Pius X in his ''motu proprio'' ''Sacrorum antistitum'' on September 1, 1910. The oath was required of "all clergy, pastors, confessors, preachers, religious superiors, and professors in philosophical-theological seminaries" of the Catholic Church. It remained in force until the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, with the approval of Paul VI, replaced it with a revised Profession of Faith on July 17, 1967. The oath marked the culmination of Pius X's campaign against the theological movement of Modernism, which he extensively analyzed and denounced as heretical in his 1907 encyclicals ''Pascendi Dominici gregis'' and ''Lamentabili sane exitu''. The Oath Against Modernism is still pronounced by the Society of Saint Pius X, and sedeprivationist and sedevacantist groups such as the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen and the Istituto Mater Boni Consilii.

Pope Pius X
Pope Pius X (; born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto; 2 June 1835 – 20 August 1914) was head of the Catholic Church from 4 August 1903 to his death in August 1914. Pius X is known for vigorously opposing Modernism in the Catholic Church, modernist interpretations of Ten Commandments in Catholic theology, Catholic doctrine, and for promoting liturgical reforms and Thomism, Thomist scholastic theology. He initiated the preparation of the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the first comprehensive and systemic work of its kind, which would ultimately be promulgated by Pope Benedict XV, his successor. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. Pius X was devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the Marian title, title of Our Lady of Confidence; while his papal encyclical ''Ad diem illum'' took on a sense of renewal that was reflected in the motto of his pontificate. He advanced the Liturgical Movement by formulating the principle of ''participatio actuosa'' (active participation of the ...

Pascendi Dominici Gregis
''Pascendi Dominici gregis'' ( English: ''Feeding the Lord's Flock'') is a papal encyclical letter, subtitled "''On the Doctrines of the Modernists''", promulgated by Pope Pius X on 8 September 1907. Context Pius X viewed the church as under siege, intellectually from rationalism and materialism, politically from liberalism and anti-clericalism. The pope condemned modernism, a loose movement of Catholic biblical scholars, philosophers and theologians who believed that the church could not ignore new scientific historical research concerning the Bible. Modernist nun Maude Petre would later recall, "We must remember, in fairness to those who were not always fair, that the impact of historical criticism on the traditional teaching of the Church was terrifying; that it seemed a case of saving the very essence of the Christian faith from destruction". Alfred Loisy held that only scientific exegesis Exegesis ( ; from the Ancient Greek, Greek , from , "to lead out") is a critica ...

Providentissimus Deus
''Providentissimus Deus'', "On the Study of Holy Scripture", was an encyclical letter issued by Pope Leo XIII on 18 November 1893. In it, he reviewed the history of Bible study from the time of the Church Fathers to the present, spoke against the errors of the Rationalists and " higher critics", and outlined principles of scripture study and guidelines for how scripture was to be taught in seminaries. He also addressed the issues of apparent contradictions between the Bible and physical science, or between one part of scripture and another, and how such apparent contradictions can be resolved. Context ''Providentissimus Deus'' followed earlier efforts on the part of Pope Leo to promote Catholic education. In 1878, he had encouraged the study of history and archaeology. The 1879 encyclical '' Aeterni Patris'' promoted the study of scholastic philosophy. In 1887 he encouraged the study of the natural sciences, and in 1891 opened the Vatican Observatory. Catholic studies in the se ...

Humani Generis
''Humani generis'' is a papal encyclical that Pope Pius XII promulgated on 12 August 1950, "concerning some false opinions threatening to undermine the foundations of Catholic Doctrine". It primarily discussed, the encyclical says, "new opinions" which may "originate from a reprehensible desire of novelty" and their consequences on the Church. Influences There was speculation that Father Sebastiaan Tromp , professor of theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University, had assisted in drafting the encyclical. Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange (1877–1964), professor of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, is said to have been a major influence on the content of the encyclical. Content Role of theology ''Humani generis'' states: "This deposit of faith our Divine Redeemer has given for authentic interpretation not to each of the faithful, not even to theologians, but only to the teaching authority of the Church." In ''Humani generis'', Pope Pius held a co ...

Ad Tuendam Fidem
() is an apostolic letter of Pope John Paul II issued motu proprio on May 18, 1998.John Paul II''Ad tuendam fidem'' accessed Jan-9-2013 The apostolic letter modified the Oriental and Latin codes of canon law specifying the form of profession of faith to be made by ministers of the Church before assuming office. Description The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith accompanied publication of the document with a doctrinal commentary, clarifying the three levels of authoritative teaching of the Church. The highest level is that of doctrines solemnly propounded as revealed by God. These call for divine faith. The second level is that of doctrines likewise infallibly taught not as revealed by God but as truths inseparably connected with revelation. The third category is that of teachings on matters more or less loosely connected with revelation that without being set forth with the solemnity of infallible doctrines are nevertheless authoritative. For this last category, what ...

Istituto Mater Boni Consilii
The Institute of the Mother of Good Counsel (; ; IMBC) is a sedeprivationist traditionalist Catholic religious congregation based in Italy. History The Institute of the Mother of Good Counsel was formed in December 1985, when four Italian priests left the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). These priests were Father Francesco Ricossa, Father Franco Munari, Father Curzio Nitoglia, and Father Giuseppe Murro. These priests were dissatisfied with the position of the SSPX, which acknowledged John Paul II as a true pope but disobeyed him. The IMBC was first based in Nichelino, Province of Turin, Italy, then later in Verrua Savoia, Province of Turin (currently the Metropolitan City of Turin), Italy. In September 1986, two priests of the institute traveled to Raveau, France, for the IMBC, to meet the French sedeprivationist Bishop Michel-Louis Guérard des Lauriers, whose Thesis of Cassiciacum the IMBC adopted. In May 1987, the founders of institute wrote a retraction of doctrines ...

Sedevacantism
Sedevacantism is a traditionalist Catholic movement which holds that since the 1958 death of Pius XII the occupiers of the Holy See are not valid popes due to their espousal of one or more heresies and that, for lack of a valid pope, the See of Rome is vacant. Sedevacantism owes its origins to the rejection of the theological and disciplinary changes implemented following the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). The term ''sedevacantism'' is derived from the Latin phrase , which means "the chair f the Bishop of Romebeing vacant". The phrase is commonly used to refer specifically to a vacancy of the Holy See which takes place from the pope's death or election of his successor. The number of sedevacantists is unknown and difficult to measure; estimates range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Various factions of conclavism">conclavists among sedevacantists have proceeded to end the perceived vacancy in the Holy See by electing their own pope. Etymology The ...

Sedeprivationism
Sedeprivationism is a doctrinal position within Traditionalist Catholicism which holds that the current occupant of the Holy See is a duly-elected pope, but lacks the authority and ability to teach or to govern unless he recants the changes brought by the Second Vatican Council. The doctrine asserts that since this council, occupants of the See of Peter are popes ''materialiter sed non formaliter'', that is " materially but not formally". As such, sedeprivationists teach that Pope John XXIII, Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul I, Pope John Paul II, and Pope Benedict XVI (and presumably Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV as well) have not attained the fullness of the papacy. Sedeprivationism is held by some traditionalist Catholic groups such as the Istituto Mater Boni Consilii and Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement, among others. The doctrine of Sedeprivationism traces its origin to the Thesis of Cassiciacum of the Dominican Catholic theologian Michel-Louis Guérard des Lauriers. Etymology ...

Society Of Saint Pius X
The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX; ("Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X"), FSSPX) is a canonically irregular traditionalist Catholic priestly fraternity founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Lefebvre was a leading traditionalist at the Second Vatican Council with the and Superior General of the Holy Ghost Fathers until 1968. The society was established as a pious union of the Catholic Church with the permission of François Charrière, the Bishop of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg in Switzerland. The society is named after Pope Pius X, whose anti- Modernist stance it stresses, retaining the Tridentine Mass and pre-Vatican II liturgical books in Latin for the other sacraments. The society's current Superior General is the Reverend Davide Pagliarani, who succeeded Bishop Bernard Fellay in 2018. Several organisations derive from the SSPX such as the mostly American and effectively sedevacantist Society of Saint Pius V (SSPV) and the canonically regular P ...
