I was actually taking that from the text. I should have said 30, which is when Mark's gospel is dated. As for the modernist method, it is taught in almost all Catholic theology programs, indeed, most reputable Christian programs (some Evangelicals still believe in fairy tales abou Genesis and are literalists, but without context). CDF seems to be coming around and that the Pope has is no secret. Most people don;t think being a modernist is a bad thing. It is the mark of a well rounded education in history, theology and philosophy, including logic. Only the most Evangelical and Trad fundamentalists think that Darwin has to be wrong because it conflicts with scripture, when instead scripture was not written as either history or science. One has to really be deeply attached to argument from authority, which is a logical fallacy, to maintain that argument.

Modernists won at Vatican II, 50 years ago. Before you were born.
