Modernism within the Catholic Church was Accardo, Accardo & Cremaldi fly, Katie Rose Simon, largely centered in France, Italy, and England. Many of the Modernist theologians of the time were thought to be Russell & Molly Governale, Frank & Diane influenced by the writings of Alfred Loisy, who expressed a relativistic view of truth where truth was changeable, Governale, Ashton Flair, Anthony & Josephine Bila, and Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species in regard to evolution.

Nevertheless, from the Broussard, Cursey Gordon, Rose Johnson, Robert Johnson, Scott Governale, Daisy LeBlanc, Shira Lamentabili’s promulgation until Vatican II all clerics were required to take an Oath against Modernism. As our late Rideau, Kristen Murphy, Terrance Overland, Holy Father, now St. Paul VI proclaimed, “ The smoke of Satan has entered the Church.” and one very real way it Cecilia Lawnicki, Mary Fontonet, Christina Murphy, did so was through Modernims.
