During the first decade of the twentieth century the Roman Catholic
Church was shaken to its core by an intellectual reform movement,
'modernism', seeking radical changes in the traditional approaches
to biblical studies, philosophy and theology. The repercussions of
the church authorities' condemnations and repression of the
so-callled modernist heresy persisted for more than half a century.
Then, liberated by Pope John XXIII, himself suspected of being a
modernist, the Second Vatican Council created the possibility for
many modernist ideas to resurface and initiate a renewal of the
church in the modern world. The present work contains the integral
correspondence of the leader of this modernist movement, Baron
Friedrich von Hugel to Maude D. Petre along with her two extant
letters to him. The correspondence offers a unique glimpse into the
history of the movement and an example of how its leading
protagonist promoted the novel ideas of many of the seminal
thinkers of the time among his friends and colleagues. Sadly, the
letters also depict the often unchristian nature of the
authorities' response and the subsequent suffering inflicted on
some of the church's most critical but faithful and enlightened
members.
