The following Text is taken from Wikimedia - the free encyclopædia.

The Syllabus of Errors (Latin: Syllabus Errorum) is a Document issued by the Holy See under Blessed Pope Pius IX on 8 December 1864, The Feast of The Immaculate Conception, as an Annex to the Quanta Cura Encyclical.

It condemns a total of eighty errors, or heresies, and, through that, promulgated Catholic Church Teaching on a number of Philosophical and Political questions, and referred to Documents issued previously.

Reaction from Catholics was mixed, while that from Protestants was uniformly negative. The Document remains controversial, and has been cited on numerous occasions by both Catholic Traditionalists, seeking to uphold Traditional Catholic values, and Anti-Catholics seeking to criticise The Church’s positions.

The purpose of “The Syllabus of Errors” was not to explain in depth “The Errors”, themselves, but only provide a list of them, with a short paraphrasing of “The Error” and references to the corresponding Papal Documents.

The actual Encyclicals, listed, reveal what it is about “The Error” that is incorrect, and, in which situations or nuances or emphasis.

In order to understand The Pope’s argument against each Error, one must read, not only “The Error”, itself, but the Document to which it points.
