Syllabus of Errors Condemned I

1. Historical Context

Refer to chart with Blessed Conchita

• Political Climate: Mid-19th century revolutions, rise of liberal nationalism, decline of the Papal States.


• Doctrinal Setting: Connection with Quanta Cura (encyclical published the same day).


• Audience: Bishops worldwide, aimed at countering specific trends in European thought.

Unwillingness of intellect yield to sound doctrine, rise of Christian mothers, French Revolutions. Usurp sound doctrine of Church replaced by counterfeit of communism.

Arrogance don’t have to listen to the Church. Then hypocrisy, you must listen to me. Who is the legitimate voice that people will listen too.

Big lie state cant enforce morality, this is a canard. Someone’s morality enforced. True law found in natural law or law of licentious.

“Homily at Camden Yards (October 8, 1995)

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.”

Homily at Camden Yards (October 8, 1995) 

 Law is just when it is moral, becomes unjust when its it immoral or amoral

Throw away quote, do what you want with own body. JC doesn’t tell us to ignore when others are in error. We are our brothers keeper.

Lie to not care what our brother does. Crash, libertine throw away garbage, I don’t care whatever if it does not impact me, this is not loving.

Christians called to be concerned. Authentic responsibilities to ourselves and others.

Authentic responsibility, unknowingly impacted by the errors, must peel back to find the truth. Go back, then correct, to build out.
