Would you be willing to make a complete English translation of Pope St. Pius X’s Sacrorum antistitum, the motu proprio that contains the Oath Against Modernism? An entire English version does not appear to exist, and the Oath only comprises a small part of the entire motu proprio! Here is the original Latin, 26 OCRed PDF pages from Acta Apostolicae Sedis. Thanks you!

Also, to get you started, here is a translation of part of the introduction from a Rorate Cæli blog post:
It seems to Us that it has not been ignored by none of the holy Bishops that the class of men, the modernists, whose personality was described in the encyclical letter Pascendi Dominici Gregis, have not refrained from working in order to disturb the peace of the Church. They have not ceased to attract followers, either, by forming a clandestine group; by these means, they inject in the very veins of the Christian Republic the virus of their doctrine, by editing books and publishing articles in anonymity or with pseudonyms. By reading anew Our aforementioned letter, and considering it carefully, it is clearly seen that this deliberate movement is the work of the men that we described in it, enemies that are the more dangerous the closer they are; that abuse their ministry by offering poisoned nourishment and by surprising the less cautious; by handing a false doctrine in which the sum of all errors is enclosed.

Here’s what you can do, if you cannot find someone to translate. It won’t be perfect, and you should not take your reading of it as “good” because it will have been translated by a very unofficial source (in fact, a computer program!), but you can actually have google translate it.

Go back to that pdf file you posted, and save it to your computer. Then go to this site:

translate.google.com/?tr=f&hl=en#

You’ll see little box with the word “Browse” next to it. Click on “browse,” and find the document on your computer. Then select “Latin” from the “translate from” box, and “English” from the “translate to” box. Then click “translate”.

I’ll warn you that you can get some pretty wild translations this way, obviously, but if you are just doing it for curiosity, it might be interesting for you. Again, don’t take what you read as “correct” from a translation like this, you know what I mean? We need to go by official translations. I’ll keep looking on the internet, and if myself find a translation, I’ll post it here.

I had this idea, too, do do a quick and dirty translation, but the Google Latin translator is very poor and it is constantly fooled by variant spellings, etc. Thank you, though
