Paperback: Pascendi Dominici Gregis (English: Feeding the Lord's Flock) is a papal encyclical letter, subtitled "On the Doctrine of the Modernists", promulgated by Pope Pius X on 8 September 1907.
Pascendi Dominici Gregis is a powerful and prophetic encyclical offered by Pope St Pius X at a critical time in the Catholic Church.
In it, the Holy Father diagnoses and details the burgeoning of Modernism in the Church.
He goes on to condemn Modernism and prescribe measures to prevent, retard, and extirpate it from the Church.
Read in the light of the ecclesiastical chaos that would emerge in the 1960s and flourish in the decades thereafter, it becomes clear that Pope St Pius X was correct in his concern about (and desire to destroy) the plague of Modernism.
About the author: Pope St Pius X was head of the Catholic Church from August 1903 to his death in 1914. Pope St Pius X is known for vigorously opposing modernist interpretations of Catholic doctrine, promoting liturgical reforms and scholastic philosophy and theology.
