Date Posted: 06:17:21 04/17/02 Wed The most devastating blast came in the form of Pope Pius IX's monumental 1864 Syllabus of Errors, and when the smoke cleared, all involved in the battle were in no doubt as to who was on what side. The lines of demarcation had clearly been drawn. In this great Syllabus, Pius IX condemned the principal errors of the modern world, not because they were modern, but because these new ideas were rooted in pantheistic naturalism and were therefore incompatible with Catholic doctrine, as well as being destructive to society. The teachings in the Syllabus were counter Liberalism, and the principles of Liberalism were counter Syllabus. This was unquestionably recognized by all parties. Father Denis Fahey referred to this showdown as Pius IX v the Pantheistic Deification of Man. Speaking for the other side, the French Freemason Ferdinand Buisson likewise declared, "A school cannot remain neutral between the Syllabus and the 'Declaration of the Rights of Man.'
