The key to modernism is its immanentist subjectivist reduction of faith. Historicism is one aspect of modernism that was further unpacked by Pius XI and later Popes. Weigel's dealing with Pope Leo and Americanism is a typical example of historicism.

He has been selectively reading them and redefining them to suit an agenda of his own. This sounds an awful lot like selective disobedience and a subtle form of dissent. As for him being a modernist... even a social modernist... that requires more qualification.
