Modernism is, according to the teachings of the Catholic Church, a heresy. First condemned in 1910 by Pope St. Pius X, Modernism is characterised by an unwillingness to accept defined Church dogmas accompanied by claims for the possibility of the evolution of dogma - a notion subtly distinct from Cardinal Newman's teaching on the "development of doctrine".
Frequently cast by orthodox Catholics as the heresy of heresies on account of its incorporation of a number of other ancient heresies, Modernism continues to crop up in certain liberal Catholic circles, although Church officials such as Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger have done a great deal to diminish its influence.
