The '''Syllabus of Errors''' was a detailed proclamation by Pope [[Pius IX]] in 1864 specifying liberal errors in political thought that were rejected by the Church.
The pope denounced 80 specific propositions that promoted pantheism, naturalism, nationalism, indifferentism, socialism, communism, freemasonry, and other 19th-century views. He claimed for the Catholic Church total control over science and culture. The Liberals viewed this as a declaration of war by the Church on modern civilization.
==Contents==
The 80 condemned propositions cover: Pantheism, Naturalism, Absolute Rationalism (1-7); Moderate Rationalism (8-14); Indifferentism and false Tolerance in Religious matters (15-18); Socialism, Communism, Secret Societies, Bible Societies, Liberal Clerical Associations, and Errors regarding the Church and its rights (19-38); Errors on the State and its Relation to the Church (39-55); Errors on Natural and Christian Ethics (56-64); Errors on Christian Marriage (65-74); Errors on the Temporal Power of the Pope (75-76); Errors in Connection with Modern Liberalism (77-80).
