七、庇护十一世《人之灵魂》(Mortalium Animos)通谕(关于伪大公主义)——1928年1月6日
1、引用通谕第7、8、9、10款的文献
7、这似乎是个恰当的机会,来详述与反驳某一个错误观点:与非天主教徒的基督教会合一所寻求的理论依据。倾向这个观点的作者习惯一再引用基督所说过的话:“为了让他们合而为一 ……并且将只有一个羊栈和一位牧人。”然而,这只不过是耶稣基督表达了一个未完成的愿望与祈求而已。
8、由此可见,教廷不可在任何条件下参与他们的组织,天主教徒支持或为此组织工作显然也是不合法的;
因为如果他们如此这么做,他们则是赞许支持了虚妄谬误的基督教,而远离至一至圣的教会。
9、由此可知,对宗教(之间差别)的忽略和无差别论者,都容易走向他们所谓的现代主义。
那些不幸受到这些谬论感染的人,认为信理不是绝对而是相对的;也就是说:(他们认为)真理是随着时间、地点以及无定性的思想而变化的,因为它不包含在永恒的启示中,反而能适应人生。
10、所以,“尊敬的兄弟,”宗座不允许子民加入非天主教徒的组织的原因很清楚:(宗座)只允许基督徒的合一组织,支持那些脱离了教会的人们,回归他们曾经不幸离开的、基督唯一真实的教会里来。
2、通谕第7、8、9、10款文献的英文原文
7.And here it seems opportune to expound and to refute a certain false opinion,on which this whole question,as well as that complex movement by which non-Catholics seek to bring about the union of the Christian churches depends.For authors who favor this view are accustomed,times almost without number,to bring forward these words of Christ: "That they all may be one……And there shall be one fold and one shepherd," with this signification however: that Christ Jesus merely expressed a desire and prayer,which still lacks its fulfillment.
8.This being so,it is clear that the Apostolic See cannot on any terms take part in their assemblies,nor is it anyway lawful for Catholics either to support or to work for such enterprises;for if they do so they will be giving countenance to a false Christianity,quite alien to the one Church of Christ.
9.We do know that from this it is an easy step to the neglect of religion or indifferentism and to modernism,as they call it.Those,who are unhappily infected with these errors,hold that dogmatic truth is not absolute but relative,that is,it agrees with the varying necessities of time and place and with the varying tendencies of the mind,since it is not contained in immutable revelation,but is capable of being accommodated to human life.
10.So,Venerable Brethren,it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics: for the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it,for in the past they have unhappily left it.
