Abstract

Footnotes 1 This is particularly true of the ‘Syllabus’ of errors which were condemned by Pius IX in 1864. Immediately the justice of their condemnation was brilliantly explained by Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans, who was anything but a ‘Rigorist’. (Cf. besides the standard works on Pius IX, the present writer's ‘Thesis and Hypothesis’ in Th St XV (1954) pp. 440–6.) 2 At the beginning of the Declaration on Religious Liberty , the Council itself appeals to the explicit teaching of ‘the more recent Papes’: Sacra Synodus recentiorum Summorum Pontificum doctrinam…evolvere intendit. 1 Already twenty years ago Pius XII made an unexpected admission in his allocution to the officials of the Rota (October 6th, 1946). He said: ‘Undoubtedly, in the course of the centuries, the tribunal for the defence of the faith [i.e. the Inquisition] may have assumed forms and methods which were not demanded by the nature of things, but which find their explanation in the light of the particular historical circumstances ’. And a little later: ‘If the modern conscience feels that the measures taken in past centuries against attacks on the faith overstepped the limits of justice , in its turn our modern society generally shows
