Excerpt from Leo XIII and Modern Civilization Pius IX. Never attempted to supply this omission his Syllabus of Errors was published long before the Vatican Decrees, and besides, being merely in a negative form, it was not promulgated by him as a whole in the form of an encyclical. He was appar ently content to supply the material - like another David, leaving the construction of the temple to his successor, the Solomon of the Church. The noise less manner in which the latter has carried on his part of the work has concealed it from public atten tion - many would even deny that it had been begun.
