Here is something I came across that I think traditional Catholics should be aware of.Pope Pius VI’s Auctorem fidei of 1794, was written to condemn 85 propositions of the Synod of Pistoia, a local council held without the Pope’s presence in 1786 in Pistoia, Italy, a synod full of novelties and ambiguous language very few today are aware of. Pope Pius IX and St Pope Pius X are the ones given credit for outing modernism in their time, but few are aware it was Pope Pius VI who first recognized this trend. Indeed everything in it can be applied to Vatican Council II. The Pope wrote:
‘They knew the capacity of innovators in the art of deception. In order not to shock the ears of Catholics, the innovators sought to hide the subtleties of their tortuous manoeuvers by the use of seemingly innocuous words such as would allow them to insinuate error into souls in the gentlest manner. Once the truth had been compromised, they could, by means of slight changes or additions in phraseology, distort the confession of the faith that is necessary for our salvation, and lead the faithful by subtle errors to their eternal damnation. This manner of dissimulating and lying is vicious, regardless of the circuмstances under which it is used. For very good reasons it can never be tolerated in a synod of which the principal glory consists above all in teaching the truth with clarity and excluding all danger of error.’ --- Taken from NovusOrdoWatch.org
