There are undoubtedly many Novus Ordites who believe the fundamentals of the Catholic Faith and divine revelation, are in great ignorance and confusion on many issues that would have been commonly known to Catholics to the past, and who therefore mistakenly adhere to positions that are in many respects modernist, even though they still believe in the miracles of the Gospel, in Divine Revelation, etc.
Then there are those who do not believe, or who believe very imperfectly, but who sincerely wish people to think they believe and who are very eager to only hold publicly to positions they believe to be the correct Catholic position, and who genuinely wish to avoid causing any scandal.
Finally there are those, who make statements that are clearly, intentionally heretical, while maintaining the pretense of being Catholic. They know very well their position is not Catholic, and will purposefully say things that are outrageously against Catholic teachings, cynically calculating that their audience will accept it because they maintain the pose of Catholic. I would argue that such a thing is a form of blasphemy, particularly from modernists who do not believe in the religion of Christ in any meaningful way.
It is, I think, merely a more sophisticated form of the blasphemy of someone who engages in smirking, condescending sanctimony almost with an ironic and sarcastic attitude, doing so intentionally for the infidels in the audience, while trusting the suckers to "not get it."
Yes, I think it's a form of intentional public blasphemy.
