 Encyclopedia: Modernism (Roman Catholicism)
This aspect of thought was what made Modernism unique in the history of heresies in the Church.
This description was used not because Modernism combined ideas from many earlier heresies, but because it undermined Catholic doctrine in a more fundamental way than most earlier heresies: instead of critiquing particular points of doctrine, or setting up a competing source of authority, it denied the idea of objective unchanging truth or any authoritative teaching.
Heresy, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is a theological or religious opinion or doctrine maintained in opposition, or held to be contrary, to the ‘catholic’ or orthodox doctrine of the Christian Church, or, by extension, to that of any church, creed, or religious system, considered as orthodox.

 modernism: Definition and Much More From Answers.com
In essence, the Modern Movement argued that the new realities of the 20th century were permanent and imminent, and that people should adapt to their world view to accept that what was new was also good and beautiful.
Within the Roman Catholic Church there was a movement specifically referred to as Modernism; it was condemned as the “synthesis of all heresies” by Pius X in his encyclical Pascendi (1907).
Vital to the Catholic movement were the adoption of the critical approach to the Bible, which was by that time accepted by most Protestant churches, and the rejection of the intellectualism of scholastic theology, with the corresponding subordination of doctrine to practice.

 Modernism and Biblical Inerrancy
Modernism is the capstone, the greatest and most subtle achievement of Satan in his attack on sacred Scriptures, for modernism destroys the Bible in the name of science, objectivity, scholarship and truth.
In Roman Catholicism the Pope and church hierarchy determine doctrine, while among Christian Liberals it is seminary professors and the church bureaucracy.
What occurred with the denominations that adopted Modernism was a steady erosion of faith in Christ and the Bible coupled with a new faith in the presuppositions of Progressivism and Naturalism.

 Scripture and Tradition
It was in his translation of Romans 3:28 in 1522 that Luther's appeal to sola fide emerged as seminal for the Reformation understanding of the gospel.
For one thing, Roman Catholic biblical scholars were largely set free from the burden which the Church had carried for centuries: the use of the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin translation of the Bible).
The rationale for this should now be clear: In the Roman Catholic Church, Sacred Tradition stands beside Sacred Scripture as a valid and authoritative source of divine revelation.

 Who is a Roman Catholic?
While staunch in their beliefs and commitment to nonrevisionist Catholicism, the ultratraditionalists are small in number and their influence within the church is not of great significance.
While the church's unity is of central importance, Catholicism possesses incredible diversity -- Catholics are anything but monolithic in their beliefs.
They often combine elements of an animistic or nature-culture religion (the primitive religious beliefs that associate the forces of nature and culture with myriads of spirits) with a traditional medieval Catholicism.

 Liberal Catholicism
The majority of liberal Catholics remained orthodox, seeking to modernize the church through the political emancipation of the laity and the separation of church and state.
The Catholic religion, he maintained, is not evidenced chiefly by miracles and fulfilled prophecies but by its capacity to perpetuate those beliefs which mankind has found essential to an ordered social life: monotheism, the difference between good and evil, the immortality of the soul, and reward or punishment in a future life.
The Catholic church should break with all royalist and absolutist regimes; the papacy should be the guardian of liberty and the champion of democracy; and the people, in whom was hidden the Word of God, should be sovereign.

 Latin Mass Magazine, in support of traditional Roman Catholicism
That is to say that the Church, since it receives both its teaching from the past and the labor of the saints and previous Magisterium by tradition, always looked at the present through the eyes of the past.
The impression is given that the teachings of the previous Magisterium cannot stand on their own and must be given some form of “relevance” by being promulgated anew in a current document.
Vatican II was the catalyst or opportunity seized by the past and current superficial intellectuals who teach things contrary to the teachings of the Church.

In Roman Catholic contexts ‘fundamentalist’ is sometimes used to put down traditionalists or integral followers of whatever Church or rite as somehow ignorant or uncharitable, trying to identify them with the looked-down-on Protestant fundamentalism (also part of the way Southerners are put down) that is a well-known subculture in America.

If the great Luther, with his stirring message of justification by faith, had with Paul moved on from Romans 5 to Romans 6 with its amazing declarations concerning the now justified sinner's position of identification with his crucified, risen, and ascended Lord, would not a stifled, law-burdened Church be on higher ground today?
