the Anti-Modernist Oath

St. Pius the Tenth gives us the Anti-Modernist Oath. An excellent corrective for some things in the Church today. A selection of particular interest to me:

I hold with certainty and sincerely confess that faith is not a blind sentiment of religion welling up from the depths of the subconscious under the impulse of the heart and the motion of a will trained to morality; but faith is a genuine assent of the intellect to truth received by hearing from an external source. By this assent, because of the authority of the supremely truthful God, we believe to be true that which has been revealed and attested to by a personal God, our Creator and Lord.
