I don’t always stand with Fr. Dwight Longenecker’s views, but his point here has validity and it seems some are missing it. He discusses the modern Catholic Church being divided – the Church is already in schism. I feel he described modernists to a T and we must face the fact that for better or worse, modernists influence doctrine. Maybe using the words of divide and schism are detracting to how some people regard what it is to interpret doctrine differently. You wanna deny that the Judaizers that plagued St Paul in Antioch were not divisive? Acts 15:5 inarguably attests to schism pitting modernity against tradition. It took cool heads to smooth the riff. Later, in Acts 21:15-24, it appears that the division underlying the Council of Jerusalem was in fact never settled, but was upheld quietly. What happens here though is at this point it becomes cloudy about which side was the modernist or the traditionalist. Commenters for and against this subject embody a historically divided Church.
