About the author

Pope Saint Pius X (Ecclesiastical Latin: Pius PP. X), born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, was the 257th Pope of the Catholic Church, serving from 1903 to 1914. He was the first pope since Pope Pius V to be canonized. Pius X rejected modernist interpretations of Catholic doctrine, promoting traditional devotional practices and orthodox theology. His most important reform was to publish the first Code of Canon Law, which collected the laws of the Church into one volume for the first time. Frequent communion was a lasting innovation of his papacy.

Este opúsculo, a más de cien años de publicarse, es el recordatorio del fracaso del tradicionalismo católico. Prácticamente cada una de las ideas condenadas las sostiene el católico hodierno sin escrúpulos; el modernismo ha triunfado. Salvo la gente ruda y yo me atrevo a decir, los literalistas bíblicos, considero que los católicos de a pie no podrían leer este documento sin sonrojarse. Los evangélicos que leen la Biblia avant la lettre, salvo en los puntos de obediencia al Magisterio (tema espinoso por demás), serían más fieles a lo dicho por Pío X que el fiel común católico.

El documento queda únicamente como testimonio de una resistencia inútil ante la modernidad.
