Dr. Alice von Hildebrand endorses "Feeding the Lord's Flock - A Contemporary Understanding of Pascendi and the Errors of Modernism" - By Roger LeBlanc

Credentials of Dr. von Hildebrand:

Born Alice Jourdain, Brussels, Belgium, Dr. von Hildebrand is a world renowned Catholic philosopher and theologian and a former professor. She came to the U.S. in 1940 and began teaching at Hunter College in New York City in 1947. She was married to the famous philosopher and theologian Dietrich von Hildebrand (1889-1977), meeting him at Fordham University in New York where she was a student and he was a professor. She remained married to him until his death. She retired in 1984. Alice von Hildebrand lives in the United States and is a lecturer and an author, whose works include: The Privilege of Being a Woman (2002) and The Soul of a Lion: The Life of Dietrich von Hildebrand (2000), a biography of her late husband. She also hosted a Series on Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) often running a Series with Fr. Benedict Groeschel and others.

Some of the great churchmen of the twentieth century have held Dietrich von Hildebrand in high regard. Pope Pius XII called Dietrich von Hildebrand a "twentieth century Doctor of the Church," but equally impressive are the words of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who wrote of von Hildebrand: "I am personally convinced that, when, at some time in the future, the intellectual history of the Catholic Church in the twentieth century is written, the name of Dietrich von Hildebrand will be most prominent among the figures of our time."

The following is Dr. Alice von Hildebrand's endorsement:

Feeding the Lord's Flock - A Contemporary Understanding of Pascendi and the Errors of Modernism
by Roger LeBlanc

"Homer is new and fresh this morning, while there is nothing perhaps, as old and tired as today's newspaper". (Charles Peguy). I wish to apply these words to Pius X's magnificent Encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis. Written l02 years ago, it is not only "new and fresh", but gives us a message whose importance and urgency increased since it was written. We are very indebted to Mr. LeBlanc for having made it accesible to a large public. Papal Encyclicals are not always easy reading. While totally faithful to its message, he made it a must reading for every Catholic who realizes how his faith is threatened by the cancer of modernism. "Tolle, lege (Take it and read)" (St. Augustine's Confessions, VIII )

- Alice von Hildebrand

About the book:

On September 8, 1907, Pope St. Pius X issued the Encyclical "Pascendi Dominici Gregis" (Feeding the Lord's Flock) in which he condemned Modernism in all of its forms. He called it, "the synthesis of all heresies".

He wrote this Encyclical to protect the Catholic Church from the insidious influences and attacks that came from Atheism, Agnosticism, Protestantism, Humanism, Secularism, Existentialism, and all the "isms" that would undermine Divine Revelation. It was also a response to the work of the Masonic movement.

The Holy Father brought to bear the full power of the Papacy against anyone who would advocate or embrace Modernism. And he made it crystal clear the only way to deal with Modernists was to have them rooted out of the Church. They were to be suppressed in every way possible and at every level because he knew they corrupted anything they touched.

This brings us to the question, "What is Modernism?"

It refers to the notion that a "fully modern man" has been forever changed by science so that he will now accept "only" what he can observe by way of experiment through the scientific method (Empirical evidence). He must not put faith in anything outside of measurable phenomena, and this means the Modern man must no longer look at life and religion like "the Men of Old".

As a result of this attitude, the modern man has lost his vision on many levels, and fails to see what scholastic philosophy reveals about the errors found in his thinking. This is why Modernists shun scholastic philosophers and seek out philosophers who believe all the doctrines and dogmas of the Church are to be "harmonized" with science, and in turn, they use the scientific method to judge history itself. They make science the absolute standard as they go about telling us all the historical claims of the miraculous and the divine cannot be proven by the scientific method. They conclude, therefore, all that is associated with the miraculous and the divine must be removed from Scripture.

Pascendi Dominici Gregis did in fact hinder the progress of the Modernists for a time, but they pressed forward and ravaged educational systems with the poison of Modernism. As a result, Catholics in our day are not as well equipped to receive and understand the importance of "Pascendi" as those in former days.

This brings us to "Feeding the Lord's Flock by Roger LeBlanc". It is to be seen as a "servant" of "Pascendi Dominici Gregis". Using a style of language more readily understood by Catholics in our day, it was written to help Catholics understand the great dangers which Pope St. Pius X warned us about. But it still requires that you put on a thinking cap. It follows paragraph by paragraph the identical layout of "Pascendi Dominici Gregis", and it remains completely faithful to the theological and philosophical conclusions and mandates given to us by Pope St. Pius X.

The Bible Alone vs. the Catholic Church

This Series of Trials takes place in a Court of Law where representatives for Protestantism will defend the claim that the "Bible Alone" is the "sole authority" in Christianity. And they will battle it out with representatives of the "Catholic Church" who will demonstrate that ultimate moral and religious authority is found only in the Catholic Church. These trials will cover a wide range of subjects, and each side must prove their case using only Scripture and very limited historical evidence. Some readers will be surprised to find that Secularists, Pagans, and others will join with Protestants to form an alliance against the Church, so what is at stake in this Series of Trials is nothing short of sensational!

In fact, these trials will challenge readers whose religious conviction is built upon error and ego, but the humble of heart will be liberated from error if they find they have been wrong. For others, this Series will confirm and deepen the Catholic faith they already cherish.

In the first trial, Catholic representatives must prove that Jesus Christ established only the Catholic Church. They must prove that the visible and spiritual community, formally established and organized in this world as a society by Jesus Christ Himself, subsists fully in the Catholic Church alone, and that it is governed by the Successor of St. Peter and those Bishops in communion with him. And if Catholic representatives prove their case for the Catholic Church it would mean that, in good conscience, Protestants would have no choice but to embrace the Catholic Church.

And Protestant representatives have never been forced to explain how and why so many of their Christian denominations came into existence to begin with. They have never really been forced to account for all the division within their own ranks to this very day. And why is this the case? Because Protestants have been very effective in keeping the spotlight off themselves by rebelling with one voice against the authority of the Catholic Magisterium. But all of that is about to end.

As you go through this series of trials you will find yourself living vicariously through someone in the courtroom. At times you may see yourself on the witness stand, and at other times you may see yourself as one of the attorneys, or one of the jurors. But one way or the other, your religious convictions will be indelibly affected by the facts that will be presented in these trials.

The Bible Alone vs. the Catholic Mass

This trial takes place in an International Court where Catholic representatives must demonstrate that Jesus Christ is truly present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity under the "accidental appearances" of bread and wine. And they must do so using only Scripture and very restricted historical evidence.

Now, more than ever, a trial concerning the Mass is critical to determine whether it will be Protestants or Catholics who must die to the ego in order to do the will of Jesus Christ. And a recent statement from Pope Benedict XVI made clear that Protestant communities cannot lay claim to the title of "Church" because they lack what the Catholic Church considers "essential to be a Church". This has raised the ire of Protestants around the world because nothing is more lacking to them than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

This trial will deal primarily with one issue. It will be a battle over whether or not Jesus literally meant it when He said,

"Take and eat, this is My Body which is given up for you", and in like manner, the cup, take and drink, "This is the Cup of the New and Everlasting Covenant in My Blood that will be shed for you and for many that sins may be forgiven. Do this in Memory of me".

Once the facts are presented, several other issues that swirl around the words of "Consecration" will be drawn into the vortex of what is at stake, and what is at stake in this trial is nothing short of sensational.

If Protestants are proven wrong it would mean they must embrace the Catholic Mass which they find repugnant for many reasons. And worst of all, they would not be able to hide the shame of having lived in open rebellion against the most Sacred Reality in existence, and the entire world would know about it. It would mean that Protestants could no longer go about referring to the Mass as "Hocus Pocus Dominocus", the greatest magic trick of them all.

The Bible Alone vs. the Virgin Mary

It's a bold question but it must be asked because many believe it to be true. Is the "Catholic Image of Mary" a true representation of Mary? Or, is she actually a "Pagan Goddess" that was taken captive by the Catholic Church and "reconstructed" in order to oppress women?

Feminists, Protestants, and Pagans did not expect to come together to form an alliance against the very person of the Blessed Virgin Mary, but facts will speak for themselves. And given the level of tension in the Catholic Church over feminists' demands that the Church "ordain women", this trial will bring out what has been hidden in the feminists agenda for years, namely, a deep association with paganism.

In short, this trial will bring center stage for all to see the battle between "The seed of the Woman" and "The seed of Satan" in Technicolor. And colorful it will be. Facts will be demonstrated that will get under the skin of those who do not want their schemes exposed to the light of day. There will be insights into motivation and a Scriptural analysis of the most heated issues surrounding Marian doctrine. Assertions that women were ordained in the early Church will be explored, and Protestant accusations that Catholic rituals and doctrine are rooted in paganism will be flushed out.

And there should be no surprise to discover how important it was for feminists to strike first at marriage and the "evil nature of men" before they could attack Churchmen. But, perhaps most shocking is the ultimate reason that feminists attack Marian doctrine! Do they go beyond their demands of sexual license and independence? Does it all come down to a satanic attack on the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the inner life of the Most Holy Trinity?

The impact of this trial is far reaching, and it is impossible that it will proceed without great contention. But it will become unmistakably clear that the Dogmas of the "Immaculate Conception" and the "Perpetual Virginity of Mary" are seen by feminists as a form of rape by the "Patriarchy in Rome" and an obstacle to their sexual demands. And we will see if Mary's "heterosexual virginity" is a fortress which stands against their ultimate demand that lesbian and homosexual lifestyles be validated by the Church.

In addition, there are many who felt the Church had abandoned its mission to convert all men and women to the Church since the days of Vatican II, but Pope Benedict XVI made it clear these people were mistaken in his recent "Clarification Note" on the "ecumenical mission of the Church". This clarification was like a shock-wave that went out from the epicenter in Rome to the world of Protestantism and non-Christian religions. And now, feminists and Protestants have threatened the "ecumenical position of the Church". They tell us that any future Marian dogmas will be the global death nail of ecumenism and the destruction of 40 years of "progress" since Vatican II. The mere thought that a Pope would actually consider pronouncing Mary to be the "Co-Redemptrix, Co-Mediatrix, and Advocate" of mankind as Dogma sends a chill down their spine.

Perhaps the best visual to depict the battle between the Church and the alliance (Protestants, feminists, and pagans) is to consider the difference between the "Ark of the New Covenant" and the "Ark of the Coven".

The Bible and the Divinity of Jesus

Those who reject the Divinity of Jesus Christ are quick to tell us that Jesus never actually said "I AM GOD". If He did not make this claim, would it mean that He is not the Lord God Almighty?

What if Scripture itself says that Jesus is God? What if His divinity is demonstrable through Old Testament prophecy that has been fulfilled and confirmed in the New Testament?

And what happens if the unbelievers are not correct when they tell us Jesus never said "I AM GOD"? What if He actually did say "I AM GOD" and a whole lot more? It would mean the "Mantra" of the unbelievers would be dashed to the ground like glass that shattered into pieces at their feet. They would find themselves standing in front of the Lord God Himself, and what had been hidden in the depths of their hearts would be revealed for all the world to see. They would be faced with a decision to receive His mercy or His judgment.
When the Lord was confronted by those who rejected His Divinity they brought before Him a demoniac who was blind and mute. Jesus cured the possessed man but they still rejected His Divinity and actually claimed that Jesus drove out demons by the power of Beelzebul. Jesus turned that charge around on them and said, "Behold, the Kingdom of God is upon you". (Matthew 12:28)

This trial will speak to any individual, and to all religions that do not accept the Divinity of Jesus Christ.

The Bible and the Blessed Trinity

Does Scripture support belief in the doctrine of the Trinity, or does such a belief turn people away from the One true God?

Christian doctrine in its totality is rooted in Trinitarian doctrine which teaches that in the One God there is an unbroken unity of essence shared by 3 distinct Persons. These 3 Persons have existed from all eternity in the Godhead, but they are not 3 distinct Gods. The false belief that the 3 distinct Persons in God are 3 distinct gods is "Tri-theism" and this is actually "Polytheism", the belief in many gods. This false understanding of the Trinity is found in religions such as Mormonism. This false understanding of the Trinity, among other reasons, is why Mormons are not Christians.

Trinitarian doctrine also teaches that the 3 distinct Persons of the Trinity will never be confused with each other, or mingle with each other in their divine Persons. They are forever distinct from each other as Persons, even though they share the same nature and attributes as the One God from all eternity.

And if this be true then Trinitarian doctrine is the highest form of Monotheism (belief in One God) possible, and to reject the distinct Persons of the Trinity in the name of "Monotheism" is an attack on Monotheism itself.

Furthermore, can an argument be made to show the stamp of distinct Persons in the One God is reflected and found in creation itself? And did Christ come into this world not only to save man, but to tell us who the distinct Persons in God are, Him being one of them?

Even still, there are many who fail to understand what this doctrine is actually saying. They incorrectly assert that the Son MUST be the same Person as the Father because He is the same God, or that the Holy Spirit MUST be the same Person as the Father and the Son because He too is the same God. That is NOT what the doctrine teaches.

Nor is Trinitarian doctrine a statement of three different modes of presence of the ONE GOD. The notion that the Trinity is three different modes of presence rather than three distinct persons was condemned by the Catholic Church which it labeled as the heresy of "Modalism".

This trial revolves around whether or not Scripture can prove there are THREE DISTINCT PERSONS IN ONE GOD, and if so, is there evidence in Scripture that shows they worked together to save sinful men that we may come Home to the Father.

Justification by Faith Alone vs. Good Works & The Sacraments

Is Justification by "Faith Alone" a Biblical principle as Protestants claim? If not, from where did this claim originate?

Is "salvation" an unmerited gift by which God "predestined" His elect as Protestants' claim? Or, is salvation an unmerited gift which man must cooperate with so that salvation is understood as a "collaborative effort" between God and man as Catholics claim? And if it is a collaborative effort, is the Catholic Church necessary for salvation, and what obligations do we have to the "Sacraments" of the Church?

What are "Predestination" and "Predetermination"? Is there a difference between the two that Protestants fail to see? And if so, does the Protestant concept of salvation turn God into a tyrant?

Is "justification" a "one-time-event", or can man "lose his justification by sinning" and therefore lose his salvation?

Protestants' maintain an exchange takes place when we are saved, that our sins are imputed to Jesus Christ on Calvary and His righteousness is imputed to us when we have faith in Him. But, does this take place with or without the free will of man, and what difference does it make?

Protestants' also insist the Sacraments are nothing more than a series of "good works" which cannot justify anyone, and that they are the inventions and doctrine of men that the Apostle Paul warned us about. But, what if "works" can justify men just as much as "faith" does? Would that make both "faith" and "works" necessary for justification and therefore salvation?

And do Protestants' try to find wiggle room around the Apostle James who forcefully refutes Protestantism leaving them dead in their tracks by telling us that "Faith without WORKS is DEAD?

Questions like these, and many more, must be resolved, and this book does it! One can imagine this trial will be intense at times, but it's hard hitting without being complicated. And for anyone who wants to understand their faith in these days, it's necessary to understand the dramatic differences and eternal consequences between Catholicism and the world of Protestantism.

If "justification by "Faith Alone" does not survive this trial, Protestants will have to face many things they did not want to face. And if they are unwilling to do so, they will face what the Catholic Church said at the Council of Trent when it said:

"If anyone says that the sacraments of the New Law are not necessary for salvation but are superfluous, and that without them, or without the desire of them, men obtain from God through "Faith Alone" the grace of justification, though all are not necessary for each one, let him be anathema." (Cf. Session. 6, Ch. 7, canon 9)

As you read this book you will find yourself living vicariously through someone in the courtroom. At times you may see yourself on the witness stand and at other times you may see yourself as one of the attorneys or one of the jurors, but one way or the other your religious convictions will be indelibly affected by the facts that will be presented in this trial.
