The Church is not a democracy or a republic, but a monarchy and a kingdom, and Christ is the monarch and the King.
On Modernism:
-
Modernism “the synthesis of all heresies”
1907 - St. Pope PIUS X: PASCENDI DOMINICI GREGIS
-
And now, overwhelmed with the deepest sadness, We ask Ourselves, Venerable Brethren, what has become of the Catholicism of the Sillon? Alas! this organization which formerly afforded such promising expectations, this limpid and impetuous stream, has been harnessed in its course by the modern enemies of the Church, and is now no more than a miserable affluent of the great movement of apostasy being organized in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church which shall have neither dogmas, nor hierarchy, neither discipline for the mind, nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world (if such a Church could overcome) the reign of legalized cunning and force, and the oppression of the weak, and of all those who toil and suffer.
"يا للأسف! هذا الفكر التنظيمي الذي كان في السابق يظن الناس انه فكر واعد، هذا التيار المتهور والغير مسؤول، تم تسخيره من قبل أعداء الكنيسة المعاصرين، ولم يعد الآن الا حركة دافعة للجحود الكبير والردة عن الايمان التي يتم تنظيمها في كل بلد من أجل إنشاء كنيسة عالمية واحدة لن يكون لها عقائد، ولا تسلسل هرمي، ولا انضباط للعقل، ولا كبح للأهواء، والتي، تحت ذريعة الحرية والكرامة الإنسانية، ستعيد إلى العالم (إذا استطاعت مثل هذه الكنيسة التغلب علينا) حكم المكر والقوة بحكم القانون، لقمع الضعفاء، وكل أولئك الذين يتعبون ويعانون. ومن بعد اقل من نصف قرن تغلبوا عليهم واستولوا على كل شئ سنة ١٩٦٢ وها هم اليوم يقودون الثواب الاعظم من قطيع المسيح ،حتى لم يبق منه الا ما نذر، يقودونهم الى الهلاك الابدي."

On "Situation Ethics": Pope Ven. Pius XII: Radio Message on the Occasion of ‘Family Day’ (March 23, 1952)
"Taking, therefore, the words of Christ and of the Apostle [Paul] as the strict rule, should not one say that the Church of today is rather inclined more to indulgence than to severity? It so happens that the accusation of oppressive rigidity made against the Church by the ‘new morality,’ in reality, attacks, in the first place, the adorable Person of Christ Himself."

On The Sacred Liturgy:
-
1570 - Pope PIUS V: Quo Primum
On the Tridentine Liturgy: "Therefore, no one whosoever is permitted to alter this notice of Our permission, statute, ordinance, command, precept, grant, indult, declaration, will, decree, and prohibition. Would anyone, however, presume to commit such an act, he should know that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul."

On Freemasonry:
-
1738 - Pope Clement XII: In Eminenti
First condemnation of Freemasonry: "For if they were not doing evil they would not have so great a hatred of the light."
-
1884 - Pope LEO XIII: HUMANUM GENUS
On Freemasonry's errors and its opposition to the church:
On opposition to church teachings: 2. [..] "No longer making any secret of their purposes, they are now boldly rising up against God Himself. They are planning the destruction of holy Church publicly and openly, and this with the set purpose of utterly despoiling the nations of Christendom, if it were possible, of the blessings obtained for us through Jesus Christ our Saviour."
On equality of religion: 16. [..] "they thereby teach the great error of this age-that a regard for religion should be held as an indifferent matter, and that all religions are alike. This manner of reasoning is calculated to bring about the ruin of all forms of religion, and especially of the Catholic religion, which, as it is the only one that is true, cannot, without great injustice, be regarded as merely equal to other religions."
On marriage and education of childred: 21. [..] "that marriage belongs to the genus of commercial contracts, which can rightly be revoked by the will of those who made them, and that the civil rulers of the State have power over the matrimonial bond; that in the education of youth nothing is to be taught in the matter of religion as of certain and fixed opinion; and each one must be left at liberty to follow, when he comes of age, whatever he may prefer."

«If our age in its pride laughs at and rejects Our Lady's Rosary, a countless legion of the most saintly men of every age and of every condition have not only held it most dear and have most piously recited it but have also used it at all times as a most powerful weapon to overcome the devil, to preserve the purity of their lives, to acquire virtue more zealously, in a word to promote peace among men.»
