"In their [the Modernists'] books, one finds some things that might well be approved by a Catholic, but on turning over the page, one is confronted by other things that might well have been dictated by a Rationalist." Encyclical Letter Pascendi Dominici Gregis, September 8, 1907
Pope St. Pius X said: "All the strength of Satan's reign is due to the easygoing weakness of Catholics."
If the devil showed himself to the world as red , with horns and beat the tar out of man every time they saw him, the world would reject him. (Last Tradhican)
but he doesnt, and so they do not
