       Saint Pius X

       It was his feast day on the 21st August and I found out by
       attending Mass that day.
       No other saint encouraged me more to become Roman Catholic. An
       encyclical criticising Modernism. (A heresy) is one of my
       favourites.
       [i]Putting paid to modernism, the most slippery and insidious of
       all heresies, in his encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis. Again,
       the Pope gets to the nub of the matter:
       For scholastic philosophy and theology they have only ridicule
       and contempt. Whether it is ignorance or fear, or both, that
       inspires this conduct in them, certain it is that the passion
       for novelty is always united in them with hatred of
       scholasticism, and there is no surer sign that a man is on the
       way to Modernism than when he begins to show his dislike for
       this system.

       There are 57 long paragraphs to it, most  longer than one page.

       I confess. I have never read all the many pages of the
       encyclical. It was not available to me as a would-be convert.
       The Catholic Truth Society produced many religious books and I
       probably had one of them about the life of St.Pius X. I was
       impressed by what CTS said about him. And that helped in my
       conversion.
