Canon law has sections corresponding to the Profession of Faith:
  1. “With firm faith, I also believe everything contained in the word of God, whether written or handed down in Tradition, which the Church either by a solemn judgment or by the ordinary and universal Magisterium sets forth to be believed as divinely revealed.”
  2. “I also firmly accept and hold each and everything definitively proposed by the Church regarding teaching on faith and morals, ”
  3. “Moreover I adhere with submission of will and intellect to the teachings which either the Roman Pontiff or the College of Bishops enunciate when they exercise their authentic Magisterium, even if they do not intend to proclaim these teachings by a definitive act.”
The canon law has these three that correspond:
CIC

Canon 750 – § 1. Those things are to be believed by divine and catholic faith which are contained in the word of God as it has been written or handed down by tradition, that is, in the single deposit of faith entrusted to the Church, and which are at the same time proposed as divinely revealed either by the solemn Magisterium of the Church, or by its ordinary and universal Magisterium, which in fact is manifested by the common adherence of Christ’s faithful under the guidance of the sacred Magisterium. All are therefore bound to avoid any contrary doctrines.

Canon 750 – § 2. Furthermore, each and everything set forth definitively by the Magisterium of the Church regarding teaching on faith and morals must be firmly accepted and held; namely, those things required for the holy keeping and faithful exposition of the deposit of faith; therefore, anyone who rejects propositions which are to be held definitively sets himself against the teaching of the Catholic Church.

Canon 752 Although not an assent of faith, a religious submission of the intellect and will must be given to a doctrine which the Supreme Pontiff or the college of bishops declares concerning faith or morals when they exercise the authentic magisterium, even if they do not intend to proclaim it by definitive act; therefore, the Christian faithful are to take care to avoid those things which do not agree with it.

Eastern canon law equivalents are: CCEO 598 §1, 598 §2, 599.

I like it.

“Fifthly, I hold with certainty and sincerely confess that faith is not a blind sentiment of religion welling up from the depths of the subconscious under the impulse of the heart and the motion of a will trained to morality; but faith is a genuine assent of the intellect to truth received by hearing from an external source.”

Is there a question here?

Just yours, to which the answer is that not everybody starts a thread so he can post a question for discussion. Some people, and apparently the OP is one of them, simply want to post something that they have found, so they can share it with their fellow denizens of this forum.

Which is great.
This is a good read and helpful for anyone studying Church history, but without any context from the OP, as to why they posted it, is going to make for a short thread.

Perhaps you are providing the context here by calling this “church history”, which can imply that it is not applicable today. The context is the state of the church today, and your question points to it, in a backhanded sort of way. Nonetheless, it does.
 
Quite the lengthy read. My ADHD would not let me read into it but I will Say Pius X was such a marvelous gift to the Church. He really had an iron rod when it came to ruling. The Church needs another Pius X

“Let there be, as far as this is possible, a special Censor for newspapers and periodicals written by Catholics. It shall be his office to read in due time each number after it has been published, and if he find anything dangerous in it let him order that it be corrected. The Bishop shall have the same right even when the Censor has seen nothing objectionable in a publication.”

This provision, and other sentences here, would mean faithful Catholics should not support rogue “Catholic” publications that are not in union with their local bishop Ordinary.

This includes National Catholic Reporter, OnePeterFive, Lepanto, CM, and others that imply they are Catholic, writing about the Church or the Faith.

Didn’t you read it first?

That wasn’t what i meant when you quote something (especially when it is 50pages) you give page and line. So people can refer back to it. And see what context it is being put it.

Just like when you pay a 50 page document with no comment or question?

Stop beating around the bush. What exactly is your intention here? This is an interesting document from an interesting time in history.
Yes, it has relevance today, but we also know more now than Plus X did.
So what is you point?

Pope Pius X was known, above all, for his humility. I wonder what he wrote about prayer - the primary weapon of the Church?

IMO, cautions about modernism are intended for us to avoid it, and to PRAY for those who may have fallen into it.

Otherwise, we risk the sins of gossip and detraction, if not calumny. The internet has increased this risk exponentially.

In my life, I have found that it is far easier and more immediately satisfying, to blather on and gossip about subjects of faith which are concerning, rather than to pray for them.

Our Lord will grant the grace of fervency in prayer - if I ask; if we ask.
