Modernism. The attempt, especially in the
Roman Catholic Church at the beginning of the 20th cent., to reformulate doctrine in the light of contemporary philosophical and scientific research. Exegetes, the most distinguished of whom was Alfred
Loisy, argued that the scriptures had to be treated simply as historical documents, and studied without reference to tradition or to the
magisterium of the Church. Modernism was condemned by the
Holy Office in the decree
Lamentabili of July 1907, and by Pius X's
encyclical Pascendi the following Sept. The ensuing purge in the Church has been known as ‘the anti-modernist terror’, requiring as it did the anti-Modernist oath. Outside the RC Church modernism may be generally identified with theologically liberal Protestantism; and with the movement in
Anglicanism which issued in the Modern Churchmen's Union.
