Already in 1904 the Holy Office began to prepare a syllabus of errors contained in the works of Loisy. Due to ongoing internal resistance, especially from the Master of the Sacred Palace, the papal theologian Alberto Lepidi OP, this Syllabus was published only in July 1907 as the decree "Lamentabili sane exitu" (or "A Lamentable Departure Indeed"), which condemned sixty-five propositions from the field of biblical interpretation and the history of dogma. They concerned the nature of the church, revelation, biblical exegesis, the sacraments, and the divinity of Christ. This was followed by the encyclical "Pascendi dominici gregis" (or "Feeding the Lord's Flock"), which characterized modernism as the "synthesis of all heresies".
