Evolution of Dogma permissible? Pope St. Pius X and Vatican I have already infallibly condemned such a proposition
"Progress" of dogmas is, in reality, nothing
but corruption of dogmas ... I absolutely reject the heretical doctrine
of the evolution of dogma, as passing from one meaning to another, and
different from the sense in which the Church originally held it. And
likewise,
I condemn every error by which philosophical inventions, or creations
of
the human mind, or products elaborated by human effort and destined to
indefinite progress in the future are substituted for that Divine
Deposit
given by Christ to the faithful custody of the Church . . . Condemned
and
proscribed is the error that dogmas are nothing but interpretations and
evolutions of Christian intelligence which have increased and perfected
the little seed hidden in the Gospel.
Pope St. Pius X
