How the modernists interpreted and taught the documents is what resulted in the current devastation. In the diocese of Antigonish, priests at St. F.X. were among the first public dissenters against ‘Humanae Vitae’ and then Bishop William Power sided with them. The university degenerated from its Catholic roots until finally the Board of Governors formally voted to no longer be Catholic and started promoting St. F X as being an undergraduate university with a “Catholic Heritage”.
