To define modernism quickly, I'd say that modernism is the belief that the purpose of the Catholic Church is not to lead people to an intimate and loving union with God, as established by Jesus Christ. But rather, the purpose of the Catholic of Church, according to modernists to harness the religious emotions of humanity in order to establish a good social order. Modernism rejects absolutes and a rational approach to religion, it has an obsession with evolution and believes that dogmas and doctrines can evolve. Historically, Modernism has been very materialistic and has rejected miracles and various traditions, however recently, there have been shifts among modernists and now a lot of modernist have embrace new age-like beliefs, such as pantheism.
