The freemasonic problem.

 

For people who still do not understand that these last "popes" who have been deceiving the world during and after the Second Vatican council,  obviously have deviated from the Faith long before they couped the Vatican and abolished the daily Sacrifice of the altar, I'd like to share a few quotes from Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) on Secret Societies:

Pope Leo XIII's Encyclical "Humanum genus," April 20th 1884:

Let no one think that for any reason whatsoever he is permitted to join the Masonic sect, if his

profession of Catholicism and his salvation is a worth as much to him as it aught to be. Let no pretended probity deceive one; for it can seem to some that the Freemasons demand nothing which is openly contrary to the sanctity of religion and morals, but since the entire reasoning and aim of the sect rest in viciousness and shame, it is not proper to permit association with them, or to assist them in any way.

 Pope Leo XIII, from the Instruction of the Holy Office, May 10th 1884:

Lest there be any place for error when decision will have to be made as to what the opinions of these pernicious sects are, which are under such prohibition, it is especially certain that Freemasonry and other sects of this kind which plot against the Church and lawful powers, whether they do it secretly or openly, whether or not they exact from their followers an oath to preserve secrecy, are condemned by AUTOMATIC EXCOMMUNICATION.

Besides these, there are also other sects which are prohibited and must be avoided under pain of

grave sin, among which are to be reckoned aspecially all those who bind their followers under oath to a secret to be divulged to no one, and exact absolute obedience to be offered to secret leaders. It is to be noted, furthermore, that there are some societies which, although it cannot be determined with certainty whether or not they belong to these which we have mentioned, are nevertheless doubtful and full of danger not only because of the doctrines which they profess, but also because

of the philosophy of action which those follow under whose leadership they have developed and governed. 

(Denzinger, "The sources of Catholic dogma".)

There should be no doubt in any Catholics mind that these last "popes" have been automatically

excommunicated long before they were unlawfully elected to sit in the Chair of Peter, for as Pope Leo XIII said in his long prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel after he had his vision that the devil would be allowed to attack the Church: ..

"Even in the holy place where the See of Blessed Peter and the chair of truth was set up to enlighten the world, they have raised the abominable throne of their impiety with the iniquitous hope that the Shepherd may be stricken and the flock scattered abroad."

The Raccolta

It shouldn't suprise anyone that the first thing the freemasonic "pope" did when taking over, was to make sure the decision of Pope Leo XIII to have everyone recite this long prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel after every Mass, was quickly replaced by a shorter, and very un-informative version.

The short version of the prayer goes like this:

Saint Michael the archangel defend us in battle. Be our protector against the wickedness and

snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do Thou o Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God thrust down to hell satan and all the other spirits that are prowling about the world to the great peril of the human race and the loss of souls. Amen.

The longer, original prayer by Pope Leo XIII is found in its entirety below:

Original – Prayer to St. Michael

“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.

Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.

These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.

Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers. 

R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered the root of David.

V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.

R. As we have hoped in Thee.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer. 

R. And let my cry come unto Thee. 

Let us pray. O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St. Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.”

Baptism of desire

This man has a great youtube channel called "400constantine". This is one of his postings on baptism of desire.

I would also add that the errors of baptism of desire and invincible ignorance really comes down to limiting God and saying that God can not know or do all things. It is not do defend ignorant people, it is to call Almighty God ignorant! It is to say that God is not able to preach to all people, as if He was dependant on anyone else to save people. It is to say that not everyone get's a fair chance to know the Gospel. It is to say that God is not able to preserve and baptize anyone anywhere on earth. It is to say that God commands something that is not possible to do through His grace. Again, it is to call the Lord ignorant and it is blasphemy!
           I was just reading about Christopher Columbus, who came to Queen Isabella in today's Spain and claimed that God had told him to travel over the ocean. There, on the other side, he would find land and plenty of people who would become Catholics. All Isabella needed to do, was to pay for it and provide ships etc. Columbus was ridiculed by many, he was kept in waiting and rejection, first even by Isabella herself, and people called him a dreamer and a lyar. But God's will was done, and Columbus reached America in the 15th Century. And was not also 8 million indians converted to Christianity through the Lady of Guadalupe? Did not God reveal himself to Abram when he rejected his fathers idols? Or to Moses in the burning brumble? Or to Saint Paul on his way to Damascus? Or to the Ethiopian unic walking down from Jerusalem? Stop lying about God and ask Him to give you Faith in Him!

A few reasons for rejecting the SSPX

The SSPX is not a Catholic organization. The most important thing about being a Catholic, is to keep the Catholic Faith. We know that the Church is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.. All Catholics have one Faith and those who keep that Faith are Catholics, those who do not, are not Catholics. It is not whether or not you have a Mass to go to that makes you a Catholic. For example, in Japan, after Christian missionaries had been to the country and many became Catholic, after a while, there were no Priests in Japan for SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS! This means no Mass and no confessions to a Priest. They only had baptism, because anyone can baptize, even a midwife. For example, the midwife or a family member will baptize babies when the newborn baby looks like it is going to die. But the Japanese also had the Sacrament of Marriage, because the Church teaches that if there is no priest, a couple can exchange their wedding vows in front of some witnesses, and they will be legally married, because this Sacrament is exchanged between the man and the woman, not BY the PRIEST. And they lived like this in Japan for hundreds of years. But they were still Catholics, because they kept the Catholic Faith. Why am I speaking to you about this example from Japan? To prove that other Christians have lived without the Mass before. It is not something unique, looking at Church history, that many are living without the possibility of attending a Mass.

I hope that you believe that the Novus Ordo (the Second Vatican Council "Church") are not Catholics. Why? Because they do not keep the Catholic Faith. For example, they believe that you can save your soul in any religion, like Islam or Protestantism. As long as you follow your own conscience, you will be saved. This is not the teachings of the Catholic Church. It has always taught that there IS NO SALVATION OUTSIDE the Catholic Church. If a Priest, or a Pope, teaches that you can be saved in other religions, they fall into HERESY and are no longer Catholics. There is a teaching of the Church called IPSO FACTO. It means that if you start accepting a heresy, like the false teaching that you can be saved outside the Catholic Church, or any other heresy, you automatically stop being Catholic. The normal procedure is that someone above you in the Church excommunicates heretics (they kick you out of the Church), but if the heresy is manifested (i.e. public) then you are kicked out of the Church automatically or IPSO FACTO. How? Because Gods' Divine Law kicks you out. This is what has happened to the "Pope" -and I like to call him the anti-pope. He does not believe in Catholic Teachings, and more importantly, he does not TEACH Catholic teachings publicly. And so everyone who knows Catholic teaching can see that he is not a Catholic. You do not become the Pope just because you get to wear the Papal hat.

Sedevacantists, like myself, say; okay, the Novus Ordo teaches that you can be saved in other religions (and many other heresies), therefore they are not keeping the Catholic Faith and they are not the Catholic Church/Catholic Religion. Therefore, I would have nothing more to do with them, than I would with Muslims or Protestants or Hindus. I will not listen to them about their religious believes (unless I am trying to convert them), pray together with them, celebrate Mass with them or believe that they can be saved in their religion. There is no pope at the moment, but the Church still exists as long as there are people who believe the teachings of the Catholic Church. I do not know how God will give us a new pope or when or if, but, just like the Catholics in Japan, I am just waiting and living my Catholic life. I accept that God has punished us for our sins by taking away the Pope and most of the priests for a while, and He will also fix the problem when the time is right. Maybe in my lifetime, maybe after I die. God can still save me by giving me perfect sorrow (contrition) for my sins when I confess them to him in my bedroom every night. Because God can do anything.

The SSPX has a different view. They say that having to live under the conditions that the Japanese did for such a long time is not possible, that there has to be priests available. They also think that there has to be a pope, we need the Mass, we have to have priests. It does not matter that the "pope" believes people can be saved in other religions and other heresies. Maybe he is just a bad pope.. So they actually believe that you can teach that there is salvation in other religions and still be a Catholic. And not only be a Catholic, but even Christ’s vicar on earth, the one person on earth who is supposed to protect and guide the Catholic believers, can teach whatever he wants and still be the pope… They don't believe that the "pope" can be kicked out of the Church automatically (ipso facto), even though it is a church teaching that it is possible.

And then there is another problem. If Ratzinger is the pope, then we also need to obey him. You know, do what he says and teaches. But the SSPX does not. They ordain their own bishops and priests, even though Ratzinger said NO! They celebrate their own Masses in stead of going to the New Mass or the Latin one that the Novus Ordo arranges from time to time. Some SSPX priests, maybe all, will pray "una cum" for Ratzinger during Mass. This means that they pray for and together with him as if he was the head of the Church. But at the same time they will not celebrate Mass with him or believe what he believes or teach what he teaches. Do you see a problem here? This is called SCHISM. You say that someone is Catholic but you will not be together with them in Church. And you will not obey their authority. In this way the SSPX has one leg in the Novus Ordo, and the other leg in tradition. But this is not Catholic teaching. You are not a little bit saved and a little bit not saved. A little bit Catholic and a little bit not Catholic. You are EITHER CATHOLIC or NOT CATHOLIC. And you have to choose sides, not join the Novus Ordo "just a little bit." If they are the Catholic Church, you go with them. If they are not, you stay away. There is only ONE FAITH in the Catholic Church. Anything else is no more than Protestantism, where you can pick and choose what to accept. The SSPX are therefore heretics, their priests are not obeying their "pope" (anti-pope), they are in schism with other people they believe to be Catholic, and they think that the Latin Mass is more important than keeping the Catholic Faith. Do you see the problem here?

If you ask a SSPX “priest” about his believes he will probably answer that "there is no salvation outside the Church". BUT, he will either define Church as both Catholics and those who are ignorant of the Catholic Faith, or he will say that there are also invisible members of the Church, but this is a novus ordo modern invention. In Tradition you do not have a visible and an invisible church. The Church has always been visible.

My hope is that people will have the strength and courage to look into this, so that they will not loose their souls. It is a very important topic. I also have some Church documents published on this blog, just look for the Latin titles.

The UN and the Vatican makes blasphemy a "human right"!

The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Resolution 1618 passed in March 2011. What this generally means, is that in the name of "freedom of speech" it has become a human right to blaspheme. The implementing of this same resolution was signed in Istanbul on the 15th of July 2011. Among those who signed the resolution were Foreign Ministers from the EU, Members of the Arab League , REPRESENTATIVES OF THE VATICAN, US Secretary Clinton and the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

The new law focuses on the "protection" of individuals rather than religions. (Note: The obligation to defend the true faith is being replaced by the right of an individual to criticize and blaspheme the same.) Under this resolution, the international community is taking a strong stand for freedom of expression and worship, and against discrimination and violence based upon religion or belief. The document goes on to explain how "these are fundamental freedoms that belong to all people in all places, and they are certainly essential to democracy." Participants are encouraged to consider to provide updates, as part of ongoing reporting to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, on steps taken at the national level on the implementation of Resolution 16/18, building also on related measures in the other resolutions adopted by consensus on freedom of religion or belief and on the ELIMINATION OF RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE and discrimination. And now the time has come for them to move to implementation. The resolution calls upon states to protect freedom of religion, to counter offensive expression through education, INTERFAITH DIALOGUE, and public debate, and to prohibit discrimination, profiling, and hate crimes, but not to criminalize speech unless there is an incitement to imminent violence. They will be looking to all countries to hold themselves accountable and to join them in reporting to the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights on their progress in taking these steps. Quote: "In Europe, we are seeing communities coming together to address both the old scourge of anti-Semitism and the new strains of anti-Muslim bias that continue to undermine the continent’s democratic ideals. Across the Middle East and Asia, we look to both people and leaders to resist the incitement of extremists who seek to inflame sectarian tensions, and reject the persecution of religious minorities such as the Copts or Ahmadis or Baha’is." Note how there is NOTHING about anti-Catholicism mentioned. It's the one (true) faith that no one needs to address I guess.. And so the Vatican, with a true Novus Ordo spirit continues to laugh at God's commandments by making a transgression of the First and Second Commandment a HUMAN RIGHT..

Ukrainian "Catholics" condemn Benedict XVI & JPII

Address to Pope Benedict XVI
By Archbishop Elias
Of the Ukrainian Orthodox Greek-Catholic Church
January 28, 2011
(Transcript of the English translation)


Your Holiness,

On the very first day in the New Year shocking news went the rounds: You confirmed the apostatical gesture in Assisi; you intend to repeat and canonize it.
We quote you: “To commemorate the great historic gesture of my predecessor and to solemnly renew the commitment of the believers of all the religions to live their own religious faith as a service to peace.”

Your Holiness, realize that by your acknowledgement of the Assisi gesture, you stood against Christ and against His Mystical Body, the Church.

This so-called “great historic gesture” is a total betrayal of Christianity.

To invite pagans who worship Satan to Assisi and to commit them to living their own religious faith is absurd. To put pagan idolatry on an equal footing with the Gospel is heresy maxima.

The Gospel and the whole missionary tradition of the Church are thus denied.

Your Holiness, Peter denied Christ three times, but that very night he showed repentance.

1) You publicly declared a heresy.

2) You fixed a specific date of beatification of an apostate.

3) You decided to make a gesture of apostasy and to go to Assisi yourself.

In these last two years, our bishops’ Synod have repeatedly urged you to begin the reform of the Church. We have stressed that the reform of the Church cannot be effected without public repentance for the apostatical gesture of John Paul II in Assisi.

It is the irony that at the beginning of this year you did quite the opposite: You set a concrete date on the beatification of an apostatical Pope: 1st May, 2011.

The day when you beatify an apostate will become the day of your self-excommunication from the Mystical Body of Christ.

According to the Epistle to the Galatians, Chapter 1, verses 8 and 9, you will fall under God’s anathema, a curse.

If you then create unity with the spirit of Anti-Christ in Assisi, you will become a grave-digger of the Church.

Twenty years after his death, Pope Honorius I was excommunicated from the Church only because he had been silent on heresy. Similarly to John Paul II, you are silent on heresies. You too make a historic heretical gesture.
Unless you repent, you will be responsible for [the] self-destruction of the Catholic Church.
Your Holiness, come to reason and repent.

How?

1) Firstly, cancel the planned meeting in Assisi and do the opposite. The opposite is public penance for the heretical gesture of John Paul II.

2) Secondly, cancel the beatification of John Paul II.

3) Thirdly, remove apostate cardinals and bishops from office. Consecrate true Catholic bishops who will carry out an internal reform of the Church.
This is what the bleeding Church expects from you.

This is what the suffering Shepherd of the Church, Jesus Christ Himself, expects from you.

He will soon ask you to account for whether you acted in accordance with this prophetic word.

Your Holiness, seven bishops of the Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Greek-Catholic Church are praying for you.

Heretical joint declaration with the lutherans!

Some of the voices that criticize the sedevacantist position, claim that it is just protestantism in a new form. Concidering that most of these voices come from members of the novus ordo, it just makes the following document more tragic and outragous. Who is the real protestant here? In 1999, leaders within the "Catholic Church" met with diverse representatives of the lutheran heretic religion to sign a JOINT DECLARATION on justification!!  First they liftet the excommunication of Eastern heretics, even though these people had not repented of their false teachings earlier condemned by the Church, or changed any of their believes in any way. And now this joint declaration with the Lutherans. How could this come to pass? It is simply because the novus ordo no longer believes in the bulla Unam Sanctam, and therefore they claim that the anathemas from the council of Trent against the heresy of "sola fide" (faith alone) no longer applies. This does not mean that the novus ordo teaches sola fide, only that the doctrine is no longer condemned by their sect. Some would claim that Ratzinger could not be blamed, because he was not present at this meeting. But Ratzinger has many times refered to this joint declaration and strongly encouraged others (like the methodists) to join in during public speaches. It is also completely pointless for members of the novus ordo to reject or criticize sedevacantists based on the false argument that it is "protestantism.." After all, protestantism is no longer a condemned heresy according to their sect, and protestants are according to them a part of the invisible body of Christ, and not outside of salvation. Obliged to share faith with their imposter "church" they are therefore forced to accept these heretics, and according to their definition, even sedevacantists. It would also be completely pointless, yes, even a crime against unity, for a member of the novus ordo to try and convert a protestant to the novus ordo. According to the novus ordo this would be called the act of "SHEEP STEALING", and is not allowed.

Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, part 41:
(vaticancatholic.com och vatican.com)
"Thus the doctrinal condemnations of the 16th century (from the Council of Trent), in so far as they are related to the doctrine of justification, appear in a new light: THE TEACHING OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCHES PRESENTED IN THIS DECLARATION DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE CONDEMNATION FROM THE COUNCIL OF TRENT.”

1) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 26: ”According to the Lutheran understanding, God justifies sinners in FAITH ALONE.”

2) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 21: ”According to the Lutheran teaching, HUMAN BEINGS ARE INCAPABLE OF COOPERATING IN THEIR SALVATION, because as sinners they actively oppose God and his saving action.”

3) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 26: ”…Lutherans…intend rather to express that JUSTIFICATION remains free from human cooperation and IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE LIFE RENEWING EFFECTS OF GRACE IN HUMAN BEINGS.”

4) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 29: ”LUTHERANS UNDERSTAND THIS CONDITION OF THE CHRISTIAN AS A BEING ’AT THE SAME TIME RIGHTEOUS AND SINNER.’ Believers are totally righteous, in that God forgives their sins through Word and Sacrament and grants the righteousness of Christ which they appropriate in faith. In Christ, they recognize that they remain totally sinners.”

5) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 29 : ”..Lutherans say that justified persons are also sinners and that their opposition to God is truly sin, THET DO NOT DENY THAT, DESPITE THIS SIN, THEY ARE NOT SEPARATED FROM GOD and that this is a ’ruled’ sin.”

And now what the REAL CATHOLIC CHURCH says in the Council of Trent:

1) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 6, chapter 10, ex cathedra: ”You see, that by works a man is justified and NOT BY FAITH ALONE (James 2:24)”

2) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 6, canon 4, ex cathedra: ”IF ANYONE SHALL SAY THAT MAN’S FREE WILL MOVED AND AROUSED BY GOD DOES NOT COOPERATE by assenting to God who rouses and calls, whereby it disposes and prepares itself to obtain the grace of justification, and that it cannot dissent, if it wishes, but that like something inanimate it does nothing at all and is merely in a passive state: LET HIM BE ANATHEMA.”

3) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 6, canon 1, ex cathedra: ”IF ANYONE SHALL SAY THAT MAN CAN BE JUSTIFIED before God by his own works which are done eother by his own natural powers, or through the teaching of the Law, and WITHOUT DIVINE GRACE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS: LET HIM BE ANATHEMA.”

4) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 5: ”FOR IN THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN, GOD hates nothing, because ’THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION, to those who are truly buried together with Christ by baptism unto death’ (Rom. 6:4), who do not ’walk according to the flesh’ (Rom. 8:1), but putting off ’the old man’ and putting on the ’new, who is created according to God’ (Ef 4:22; Col 3:9), ARE MADE INNOCENT, IMMACULATE, PURE, GUILTLESS, and beloved sons of God, ’heirs indeed of God, but co-heirs with Christ’ (Rom. 8:17), so that there is nothing whatever to retard their entrance into Heaven.”

5) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 6, chapter 15, ex cathedra: ”…the doctrine of divine law which excludes from the kingdom of God not only the unbelievers, but also the faithful who are fornicators, adulterers, effeminate, liers with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, railers, extortioners (1 Chor. 6:9), and all others who commit DEADLY SINS, from which with the assistance of divine grace they can refrain and FOR WHICH THEY ARE SEPARATED FROM THE GRACE OF GOD.”

Joseph Ratzinger was a manifest heretic BEFORE he was elected "pope"!

It is evident that Joseph Ratzinger was a manifest heretic BEFORE he was elected "pope." Before we look into this in further detail, let's look at what the Church has to say about heretics and if they can be elected Pope:

Pope Leo XIII:s encyclica Satis Cognitum, 29th of June, 1896: ”The practice of the Church has always been the same, as is shown by the unanimous teaching of the Fathers, who were wont to hold as outside Catholic communion, AND ALIEN TO THE CHURCH, WHOEVER WOULD RECEDE IN THE LEAST DEGREE FROM ANY POINT OF DOCTRINE PROPOSED BY HER AUTHORITATIVE MAGISTERIUM”.

Pope Eugenius IV says EX CATHEDRA in the bulle Cantate Domino from 1441: ”Therefore it (the Church) condemns, rejects, anathematizes and DECLARES TO BE OUTSIDE THE BODY OF CHRIST, WHICH IS THE CHURCH, WHOEVER HOLDS OPPOSING OR CONTRARY VIEWS”.

Pope Pius IV bulla Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio from the 15th of february 1559:


”In addition, [by this Our Constitution, which IS TO REMAIN VALID IN PERPETUITY We enact, determine, decree and define:] that if ever at any time it shall appear that any Bishop, even if he be ACTING as an Archbishop, Patriarch or Primate; or any Cardinal of the aforesaid Roman Church, or, as has already been mentioned, any legate, or EVEN THE ROMAN PONTIFF, prior to his promotion or his elevation as Cardinal or ROMAN PONTIFF HAS DEVIATED FROM THE CATHOLIC FAITH OR FALLEN INTO SOME HERESY:

(i) the promotion or elevation, EVEN IF IT SHALL HAVE BEEN UNCONTESTED AND BY THE UNANIMOUS ASSENT OF ALL THE CARDINALS. SHALL BE NULL, VOID AND WORTHLESS;

(ii) IT SHALL NOT BE POSSIBLE FOR IT TO ACQUIRE VALIDITY (NOR FOR IT TO BE SAID THAT IT HAS THUS AQUIRED VALIDITY) through the acceptance of the office, of consecration, of subsequent authority, nor through possession of administration, nor through the putative enthronement of a Roman Pontiff, OR VENERATION, OR OBEDIENCE ACCORDED TO SUCH BY ALL, NOR TO THE LAPSE OF ANY PERIOD OF TIME in the forgoing situation;

(iii) it shall not be held as partially legitimate in any way;

(iv) to any so promoted to be Bishops, or Archbishops, or Patriarchs, or Primates or elevated as Cardinals, or as Roman Pontiff, NO AUTHORITY SHALL HAVE BEEN GRANTED, nor shall it be considered to have been so granted either in the spiritual or the temporal domain;

(v) EACH AND ALL OF THEIR WORDS, DEEDS, ACTIONS AND ENACTMENTS, HOWSOEVER MADE, and anything whatsoever to which these may give rise, SHALL BE WITHOUT FORCE AND SHALL GRANT NO STABILITY WHATSOEVER NOR ANY RIGHT TO ANYONE;

(vi) THOSE THUS PROMOTED OR ELEVATED SHALL BE DEPRIVED AUTOMATICALLY, AND WITHOUT NEED FOR ANY FURTHER DECLARATION, OF ALL DIGNITY, POSITION, HONOUR, TITLE, AUTHORITY, OFFICE AND POWER.”

We have now seen that a heretic is not a member of the Catholic Church, and therefore he can not be the head of a Church where he is not even a member!!
We have also seen that a person who turns out to have been a heretic PRIOR to his election and elevation to the papal office, automatically looses his office and power, even if he should have the title "pope". He looses this office AUTOMATICALLY and WITHOUT NEED for any further DECLARATION. Now, let's look at some of Ratzingers manifest heresies BEFORE he was elected "pope":
Part 1 – CHURCH UNITY!


Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology (1982), p. 148: ”The canon of Holy Scripture can be traced back to them, or, at least, to the UNDIVIDED CHURCH OF THE FIRST CENTURUES of which they were the representatives.”

Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology (1982), p. 147: ”The Fathers, we can now say, were the theological teachers of the UNDIVIDED CHURCH…”

Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology (1982), p. 145-146: ”The Fathers are the teachers OF THE YET UNDIVIDED CHURCH.”

Joseph Ratzinger, Co-workers of the truth: meditations for every day of the year (1990) p. 29:
”To borrow Congar's cogent phrase, it would be both foolish and perverse to identify THE EFFICACY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH THE WORK OF THE ECCLESIAL APPARATUS. THIS MEANS THAT EVEN IN CATHOLIC BELIEF THE UNITY OF THE CHURCH IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF FORMATI ON; THAT IT WILL BE TOTALLY ACHIEVED ONLY IN THE EASCHATON”

Now, this is what the true Church says:
The niceno-konstantinopolitan creed 381, ex cathedra: ”We believe in… One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church."

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognium, 29th of June 1896: ”The Church in respect of its UNITY belongs to the category of things INDIVISIBLE by nature…”

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, 29th of June 1896: ”… This UNITY CANNOT BE BROKEN, nor the ONE BODY DIVIDED BY THE SEPARATION OF ITS CONSTITUENT PARTS.”

Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, 6th of Jan, 1928: ”… here it seems opportunate to expound and to refute a certain false opinion..For they are of OPINION THAT THE UNITY OF FAITH AND GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS A NOTE OF THE ONE TRUE CHURCH, HAS HARDLY UP TO THE RESENT TIME EXISTED, AND DOES NOT TODAY EXIST.”

The heresies of Ratzingers BEFORE he was elected "pope"
PART 2- the MESSIAH!

Joseph Ratzinger, The Jewish People and their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible. 2001: ”Jewish MESSIANIC EXPECTATION IS NOT IN VAIN…”

Joseph Ratzinger, The Jewish People and their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible. 2001: ”…to read the Bible as Judaism does necessarily involves an implicit acceptance of all its presuppositions, that is, the full acceptance of what Judaism is, in particular, the authority of its writings and rabbinic traditions, WHICH EXCLUDE FAITH IN JESUS AS MESSIAH AND SON OF GOD…CHRISTIANS CAN AND OUGHT TO ADMIT THAT THE JEWISH READING OF THE BIBLE IS A POSSIBLE ONE…”

Joseph Ratzinger, God and the World, 2000, p.209: ”IT IS OF COURSE POSSIBLE TO READ THE OLD TESTAMENT SO THAT IT IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARD CHRIST; IT DOES NOT POINT QUITE UNEQUIVOCALLY TO CHRIST. And if Jews cannot see the promises as being fulfilled in him, this is not just ill will on their part, but genuinely because of the obscurity of the texts..THERE ARE PERFECTLY GOOD REASONS, THEN, FOR DENYING THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT REFERS TO CHRIST AND FOR SAYING, NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT HE SAID. And there are also good reasons for referring it to him – that is what the dispute between Jews and Christians is about.”

(I think most people know that it is a CATHOLIC DOGMA that you have to believe that Jesus is the Messiah in order to be a Christian...)

 PART 3 – the SCRIPTURES:

Joseph Ratzinger, God and the World, 2000 p. 153: ”It is another thing to see he Bible as a whole as the Word of God, in which everything relates to everything else, and everything is disclosed as you go on. It follows straightway that neither the criterion of inspiration nor that of infallibility can be applied mechanically. IT IS QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO PICK OUT ONE SINGLE SENTENCE AND SAY, RIGHT, YOU FIND THIS SENTENCE IN GOD’S GREAT BOOK, SO IT MUST SIMPLY BE TRUE IN ITSELF…”

Joseph Ratzinger, A New Song For the Lord, 1995, p.86: ”THE PAGAN CREATION ACCOUNTS ON WHICH THE BIBLICAL STORY IS IN PART BASED end without exception in the establishment of a cult, but the cult in this case is situated in the cycle of the do ut des.”

Now, look at what the true Church says:

Pope Pius IX, Vatikancouncil, Sess III, chap 3, ex cathedra: ”Further, by divine and Catholic faith, ALL THOSE THINGS MUST BE BELIEVED WHICH ARE CONTAINED IN THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD and in tradition, and those which are proposed by the Church, either in a solemn pronouncement or in her ordinary and universal teaching power, to be believed as divinely revealed.”

Pope Leo XIII, Providentissimus Deus, 18th of November, 1893: ”FOR ALL THE BOOKS WHICH THE CHURCH RECEIVES AS SACRED AND CANONICAL, ARE WRITTEN WHOLLY AND ENTIRELY, WITH ALL THEIR PARTS, AT THE DICTATION OF THE HOLY GHOST: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not inly is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true. THIS IS THE ANCIENT AND UNCHANGING FAITH OF THE CHURCH, SOLEMNLY DEFINED IN THE COUNCILS OF FLORENCE AND OF TRENT, and finally confirmed and more expressely formulated by the Council of the Vatican.”

PART 4- the PAPAL OFFICE:
Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology (1982), s.198: ”NOR IS IT POSSIBLE, ON THE OTHER HAND, FOR HIM TO REGARD AS THE ONLY POSSIBLE FORM AND, CONSEQUENTLY, AS BINDING ON ALL CHRISTIANS THE FORM THIS PAPACY HAS TAKEN IN THE NINETEENTH AND TWENTIETH CENTURIES. The symbolic gestures of Pope Paul VI and, in particular, his kneeling before the representative of the Ecumenical Patriarch (heretikern Athenagoras) were an attempt to express precisely this…”

Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology (1982), s. 198-199: ”In other words, ROME MUST NOT REQUIRE MORE FROM THE EAST WITH RESPECT TO THE DOCTRINE OF THE PRIMACY THAN HAD BEEN FORMULATED AND WAS LIVED IN THE FIRST MILLENNIUM. When the Patriarch Athenagoras, on July 25, 1967, on the occasion of the Pope’s visit to Phanar, designated him as the successor of St. Peter, as the most esteemed among us, as one who presides in charity, THIS GREAT CHURCH LEADER WAS EXPRESSING THE ECCLESIAL CONTENT OF THE DOCTRINE OF THE PRIMACY AS IT WAS KNOWN IN THE FIRST MILLENNIUM. ROME NEED NOT ASK FOR MORE.

Now look at what the true Church says:

Pope Pius IX, Mortalium Animos, 6th of January 1928: ”AMONG THEM (heretics and schismatics) THERE INDEED ARE SOME, THOUGH FEW, WHO, GRANT TO THE ROMAN PONTIFF A PRIMACY OF HONOR or even a certain jurisdiction or power, but this, however, they consider not to arise from the divine law but from the consent of the faithful.”

Pope Pius IX, Vatican council, ex cathedra: ”….all the faithful of Christ MUST BELIEVE that the Apostolic See and the Roman Pontiff hold primacy over the whole world…This is the doctrine of Catholic truth from which no one can deviate and keep his faith and salvation.

Pope Bonifacius VIII, Unam Sanctam, 18th of November 1302:, ex cathedra: ”…we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.”

The heresies of Ratzingers BEFORE he was elected "pope"
 PART 5– PROTESTANTISM:

Joseph Ratzinger, Theological Highlights of Vatican II, 1966 p. 61,68: ”…Meantime THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS NO RIGHT TO ABSORB OTHER CHURCHES….A BASIC UNITY – OF CHURCHES THAT REMAIN CHURCHES, YET BECOME ONE CHURCH – MUST REPLACE THE IDEA OF CONVERSION.”

Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology (1982), p. 263: ”THAT WHICH IN LUTHER MAKES ALL ELSE BEARABLE BECAUSE OF THE GREATNESS OF HIS SPIRITUAL FERVOR…”

Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology (1982), p. 304: ”…Taize (protestant ”monastery”) has been, without a doubt, the leading example of an ecumenical inspiration…SIMILAR COMMUNITIES OF FAITH (sic!) AND OF SHARED LIVING SHOULD BE FORMED ELSEWERE…”

Anti-pope Benedict XVI, 17th of August 2005 speaking of the death of ”brother” Roger Shutz (the protestant founder of a heretical ecumenical ”monastery”): ”BRO. ROGER SHUTZ is in the hands of eternal goodness, of eternal love; HE HAS ARRIVED AT ETERNAL JOY…”

Anti-pope Benedict XVI, in his speach to protestants during the World Youth Day, 19th of August 2005: ”And we now ask: What does it mean to RESTORE THE UNITY OF ALL CHRISTIANS?...THIS UNITY DOES NOT MEAN WHAT COULD BE CALLED ECUMENISM OF THE RETURN: THAT IS, TO DENY AND REJECT ONE’S OWN FAITH HISTORY. ABSOLUTELY NOT!”

Now let's look at what the true Church says:
St. Gregorius the Great in his maxim: ”The holy universal Church teaches that it is not possible to worship God truly except in her AND ASSERTS THAT ALL WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF HER WILL NOT BE SAVED.”

There is no doubt about it. Joseph Ratzinger was a manifest heretic BEFORE he was elevated to the papal office, and therefore he is not a member of the Church, and can not be it's Head.. Any heretic looses his office AUTOMATICALLY and WITHOUT NEED for any further DECLARATION. Even a "pope"..when found to be a heretic BEFORE his election to an office..

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Heresy!

On the 18th of September 2009, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops published the following, completely un-Catholic and very heretical document.

Ten Things to Know about Working for Christian Unity

1. The Commandment for Christian Unity Comes from Christ Himself. On the night before he died, Christ prayed, “May they all be one…so that the world may believe.” (Jn 16:21ff) Christ prayed for it. We have to pray and work for it too.

2. The Biggest Stumbling Block to the Credibility of the Gospel is a Divided Christianity. Sadly, modern society is not well disposed towards religion in general and Christianity in particular. As the world has become more secular, one of the chief arguments people use against Christians is that we simply don’t have our act together. We need to change that perception if we want to be taken seriously.

3. Working for Christian Unity is Integral to the Life of the Church. The Apostle Paul constantly worked and prayed for unity in the Church. So too should today’s Catholics. In his encyclical Ut Unum Sint, Pope John Paul II said: “Thus promoting Christian unity, is not just some sort of "appendix" which is added to the Church's traditional activity. Rather, ecumenism is an organic part of her life and work and consequently pervades all that she is and does...”

4. “Convergence” not “Compromise” is the Key to Christian Unity. Working for Christian unity does not mean giving up what is essential to the Catholic faith simply to get along with other Christians. Rather, it is searching for ways to express the truth of the gospel. For Christians the Truth is not a something, but a someONE, and that is Jesus the Christ. Like a wagon wheel with Christ at the center and each Christian on the spokes, in the search for truth, the closer we get to Christ, the closer we get to one another.

5. Ecumenism Happens on Many Levels. Ecumenism can happen in a marriage where the spouses come from different Christian traditions or through a program between a parish and a local Orthodox, Protestant or Evangelical congregation. Or it could be on the diocesan, national, or international level.

6. The First Work of Unity is Prayer. Christians can and should pray together for unity. When we join our prayers for unity to the prayer of Christ, then unity is possible. This is a sign of the real, but imperfect communion which we share in our common baptism. However, because we are not in full communion, Catholics should not receive the Eucharist in other churches and vice versa.

7. The Second Work of Unity is Common Work and Witness. Working together in areas of common concern is a powerful step toward unity. What we can do together, we should do together, especially in acts of charity. Many parishes and congregations work together to run common food pantries, social service agencies, medical clinics and emergency response teams.

8. The Third Work of Unity is Dialogue. Once Christians have prayed and worked together, it makes sense to explore the beliefs, practices and doctrines we hold in common. Dialogue starts with seeking to know the other and often there is more that unites than divides us. When we understand where we converge, we can begin to honestly explore the theological and practical issues that still divide us.

9. Apathy and Proselytism are Opposed to Unity. We live in a privileged time. The animosities that brought about a divided Christianity are no longer present. Yet we cannot sit back and do nothing. Likewise, proselytism, or the deliberate targeting of another Christian or group of Christians for the sole purpose of getting them to reject their church to join another, is not allowed. Some people may feel called in conscience to change from one tradition to another, but “sheep stealing” is unacceptable.

10. Achieving Unity is Going to Take a Long, Long Time.We have lived in a divided Christianity for almost a thousand years. Christian unity is not going to be achieved overnight. But by praying together, working together and engaging in charitable, deliberate dialogue, we can work with the Holy Spirit so that the prayer of Christ at the Last Supper, “that they all may be one…that the world may believe” will come to fruition. We have lived in a divided Christianity for almost a thousand years. Christian unity is not going to be achieved overnight. But by praying together, working together and engaging in charitable, deliberate dialogue, we can work with the Holy Spirit so that the prayer of Christ at the Last Supper, “that they all may be one…that the world may believe” will come to fruition.


Here are an example of a typical heretical statement by the anti-popes of the II Vatican "Church"...where they deny one of the four cournerstones of Catholic doctrine, namely that the church is UNITED (in unity, one)

John Paul II, Homilia, Dec 5, 1996 – on the subject of common prayer with non-Catholics: ”When we pray together, we do so with the longing ’THAT THERE MAY BE ONE VISIBLE CHURCH OF GOD, A CHURCH TRULY UNIVERSAL and sent forth to the whole world that the world may be converted to the Gospel and so be saved, to the glory of God’ (citat ur Unitatis Redintegratio, 1.).”


And then what the TRUE CHURCH teaches:
The niceno-constantinopolitan creed 381, ex cathedra: ”We believe in… One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church”

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognium, 29th of june 1896: ”The Church in respect of its UNITY belongs to the category of things INDIVISIBLE by nature…”

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, 29th of june 1896: ”… This UNITY CANNOT BE BROKEN, nor the ONE BODY DIVIDED BY THE SEPARATION OF ITS CONSTITUENT PARTS.”

Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, 6th of Jan, 1928: ”… here it seems opportunate to expound and to refute a certain false opinion..For they are of OPINION THAT THE UNITY OF FAITH AND GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS A NOTE OF THE ONE TRUE CHURCH, HAS HARDLY UP TO THE RESENT TIME EXISTED, AND DOES NOT TODAY EXIST.”

The novus ordo is NOT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH! It is a false anti-church and it contradicts Catholic teaching on a daily basis all over the world!
