The Condemned Teachings of Rationalism 2. All action of God upon men and the world is to be denied. As human reason is placed on a level with religion itself, so theological must be treated in the same manner as philosophical sciences. The church not only ought never to pass judgement on philosophy, but ought to tolerate the errors of philosophy, leaving it to correct itself. The decrees of the Apostolic See and of the Roman congregations impede the true progress of science.
Philosophy is to be treated without taking any account of supernatural revelation.
The Condemned Teachings of Indifferentism 15. Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true. Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation, and arrive at eternal salavation. Good hope is at least to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ. Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion, in which form it is given to please God equally as in the Catholic Church.
