Pius X, Merry del Val and the cases of Alfred Loisy and George Tyrrell
Institutional Aspects of Antimodernism
abstract
During the modernist crisis the various institutions and persons within the Roman Curia acted in a complex manner. The article explores the different agencies and ways of repression by reconstructing the Roman treatment of the ‘cases’ of the French theologian Alfred Loisy (1857-1940) and the Anglo-Irish Ex-Jesuit George Tyrrell (1861-1909).
