AB After the condemnation in 1907 of Roman Catholic Modernism, which may be characterized as a series of loosely coordinated initiatives to bring Catholicism into a more positive relationship with modernity on intellectual, social and political fronts, the perspective adopted in the Vatican censures set the terms of analysis. By the 1970s an alternative was gaining ground. Rather than simply take the antimodernist encyclical Pascendi as defining the boundaries of orthodoxy and heresy, and then attempting to discern who fell inside and outside those boundaries, attention was focused more on those who were involved in the movement for ecclesiastical reform, to ascertain their perspective on their activity. More recently, a third wave of Modernist historiography has been emerging, one that is informed by post-structural theories of recent decades. These three waves of Modernist studies provide the framework for discussion of the historiography of Modernism.
