Our Lady has warned three times against modernism lately and She has always associated it with the devil
Medjugorje Message, May 25, 2010
“Dear children! God gave you the grace to live and to defend all the good that is in you and around you, and to inspire others to be better and holier; but Satan, too, does not sleep and through modernism diverts you and leads you to his way. Therefore, little children, in the love for my Immaculate Heart, love God above everything and live His commandments. In this way, your life will have meaning and peace will rule on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call. ”

Medjugorje Message, March 25, 2015
“Dear children! Also today the Most High permits me to be with you and to lead you on the way of conversion. Many hearts have shut themselves to grace and have become deaf to my call. You, little children, pray and fight against temptation and all the evil plans which the devil offers you through modernism. Be strong in prayer and with the cross in your hands pray that evil may not use you and may not conquer in you. I am with you and pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call. ”

Medjugorje Message, January 25, 2017
“Dear children! Today I am calling you to pray for peace: peace in human hearts, peace in the families and peace in the world. Satan is strong and wants to turn all of you against God, and to return you to everything that is human, and to destroy in the heart all feelings towards God and the things of God. You, little children, pray and fight against materialism, modernism and egoism, which the world offers to you. Little children, you decide for holiness and I, with my Son Jesus, intercede for you. Thank you for having responded to my call. ”

My point in posting the messages regarding modernism is to caution against exactly that... modernism. What is modernism with respect to the teachings of the Church? Is the intent of Amoris Laetitia to introduce modernism into the Church? As Mother of the Church, Our Lady says to us to 'fight against modernism.' Our Lady rarely uses the word 'fight' in Her messages, but She does regarding modernism, not just once but two separate times. How would Our Lady like us to engage in fighting against modernism? My guess would be intense prayer, fasting, and discussion. Just enough discussion to bring evidence to light because She also said 'Do not waste time deliberating too much; you will distance yourselves from the truth. '
