ON DOCTRINAL

INTOLERANCE

By Cardinal PIE

Introduction

STATUS QUAESTIONIS=

Truth and virtue are inseparable. Any wound to intellectual order has consequences in moral and even materialorder.

Evil therefore has to be fought in its source, in the ideas.

Today's problem =

Many atholics are tired of battle ready to yield in points that do not appear to them as

very important imprudent wea!ness"

Today everybody tal!s about tolerance but nobody ma!es distinctions, or !nows the

truth.

Two !inds of tolerance#

ivil not the sub$ect of this conference, but about which a further distinction has

to be made#

%f 'tolerance& implies that the law recognies all religions as equally good or

that the (tate is incompetent to decide in this matter law is impious andatheistic.

%f &tolerance& only means that the law, while ac!nowledging only one religion

as true, allows the peaceful e)ercise of other religions for reasons of

political prudence law may be wise and necessary.

Theological our sub$ect, on which two principles will be e)posed.

Amidst confusion of false ideas and opinions, we &priests of the incorruptible

Truth& have to $ump into the fray and protest with the infle)ibility of our teaching.

THESIS#

True religion is intolerant regarding the doctrines.

True religion is tolerant regarding the persons.

First part

TRUE RELIGI N IS INT LERANT REGARDING D CTRINES

IT IS OF THE ESSENCE OF TRUTH NOT TO TOLERATE ITS CONTRADICTION= the

affirmation of a proposition e)cludes the negation of the same proposition.

A principle to follow# in dubiis libertas in necessariis unitas.

%n doubtful things, where there is no certitude or definition, freedom of opinion is

permissible. *ut when truth is certainly !nown, it becomes necessary and intolerant.

Truth is intolerant tolerance is equivalent to suicide.

%ntolerance is its preservation in e)istence truth cannot coe)ist with its negation.

+eligious truth, being the most absolute = taught and revealed by -od and important= involving the eternal salvation of soul of all truths, is in consequence the mostintolerant and e)clusive.

THE INTOLERANCE OF UNITY =

Unus Dominus, una fides, unum baptisma Eph /#0.

1ne 2ord in 3eaven unus Dominus,

-od, whose greatest attribute is 3is unity, has given the world only one doctrine, only

one faith una fides,

This faith has been entrusted to only one visible society, only one hurch whose

children are mar!ed by the same character and regenerated by the samewater unum baptisma.

&%n this manner, the divine unity, residing from all eternity amidst the splendors of glory, has

been produced on earth by the unity of the evangelical dogma, whose deposit has been

given by 4esus hrist in guardianship to the hierarchical unity of the priesthood& one

-od, one faith, one hurch.

THE INTOLERANCE OF CHRIST =

A positive e)clusion = if someone is not baptized in water and Spirit, if someone refuses to

eat m bod and drin! m blood t"at one will not "a#e part in m !in$dom.

Apostles sent to teach all nations = to bring down all e)isting religions, to establish

everywhere the unique hristian religion, to replace the inherited beliefs of the nations forthe unity of atholic dogma.

And foreseeing the opposition and divisions that this doctrine will e)cite, 3e declared that 3e

has brought not peace, but t"e sword war, not onl amon$ t"e nations, but also in t"e

bosom of t"e same famil, to separate belie#in$ wife from unbelie#in$ "usband, %"ristianson from pa$an fat"er.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH HAS BEEN A MODEL WORK OF

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE =

5hen the preaching of the Apostles started, the entire world possessed that dogmatic

tolerance so much praised today#

All religions were equally false and equally irrational so they didn't fight one another6

All gods were equally demons so they weren't e)clusive and tolerated one another =

(atan is not divided against himself.

5hen hristianity appeared, it was not immediately opposed but only later#

+ome, used to accept all religions, accepted this new faith without any inconvenience.

7ersecution only started when it was clear that this new -od was the irreconcilable foe

of all other gods that the hristians whose cult was so quietly accepted refused to

accept quietly the cults of +ome in a word, only when the intolerance of the

hristian faith was made clear"

The history of the hurch is no more than the history of this intolerance#

Martyrs = men intolerant in matters of faith, who preferred torture to the profession of

error,

(ymbols reeds = formulas of intolerance, which establish what has to be believed

and which force reason to acquiesce to necessary mysteries, 7apacy = an institution of doctrinal intolerance, which maintains the unity of faith by

means of the hierarchical unity,

ouncils = more institutions of intolerance, convened to stop the spread of false thought,to condemn the false interpretations of dogma, to anathematie the propositionscontrary to the faith.

WE ARE INTOLERANT, EXCLUSIVE, IN MATTERS OF DOCTRINE WE MAKE PROFESSION

OF INTOLERANCE AND WE ARE PROUD OF IT.

%f we are not, it means that we do not possess the Truth because Truth is one and therefore

intolerant.

The Author of the hristian religion, descending from 3eaven, has said E$o sum

&eritasthe atholic hurch preserves this incorruptible Truth.

The atholic hurch is therefore, dogmatically intolerant = she has to re$ect, e)clude

anything contrary to the Truth, anything that could destroy it. The sophism of the sects = other churches are tolerant of the atholic hurch, why can't

she be a bit as tolerant8

the lac! of compromise, conciliation, tolerance of theatholic hurch arises from the fact hat only through her men can attain their

end and she !nows it 'T"e t"orn bus" ma ac!nowled$e t"at t"e #ine produces

CAUSES OF THE ERRORS ON TOLERANCE.

Passions:

9estruction of dogma prepares easy morals if all religions and gods are considered

equally true, it means that all are false

then, there is no religion, no-od morality loses its foundation.

Education= pre$udices transmitted by those in whose hands is today's education#

+ousseau = absolute religious tolerance.

(emi:7rotestant, semi:rationalist syncretism = all opinions and religions can be

reconciled, as all are different aspects of truth.

Present extension of error:

;ew forms appear every day to the point of madness logical conclusion of re$ection

of the unity and intolerance of truth. All errors can coe)ist and tolerate one another because they have a common father#

(atan &os e) patre diabolo estis 4n


4/4

%ncapable of enduring evil doctrines, the hurch is nevertheless incommensurably

tolerant with the persons. The hurch neve !"n#$%e% e" &'() *+n 'n e", nor the sin with the

sinner she condemns the error, but continues to love the erring man she

fights sin, but pursues the sinner with her tenderness, she desires to ma!e himwhole, to reconcile him with -od, to bring his heart bac! to peace and virtue.

%f some of her laws are too hard for us, she accommodates them to ourwea!ness her rigor yields before our infirmity.

(he cannot yield in the application of divine laws, but condescension is not difficult when

it is question of ecclesiastical laws, because suavity is the basis of her government=propter suave regimen Ecclesiae (t. Thomas Aquinas.

The world preaches us tolerance, but it is more intolerant than us = we re$ect only principles,

the world re$ects persons we absolve, and the world !eeps condemning many times

we have chosen to forget the past, but the world always remembers.
