5.11. Why would they change the Mass and sacraments deliberately? What would they gain from it?
This is the heart of the matter: the changes were deliberate, and the motive was to replace the Catholic religion with a new, man-centered, ecumenical humanism.
Modernist theologians—long condemned by Popes like Pius X (Pascendi)—believed that doctrine evolves with time and culture. Their goal was to make Catholicism acceptable to the modern world: to Protestants, to Jews, to secularists. To do this, they had to reform the liturgy, remove “divisive” dogmas (like the Real Presence, the exclusive truth of Catholicism), and replace objective grace with subjective experience.
This is why the new Mass resembles a Protestant service. It’s why religious liberty, false ecumenism, and interreligious dialogue became central. The gain? Popularity, relevance, and acceptance by the world. But Christ warned:
“If the world hates you, know that it hated Me first.”
