Note: these are a small selection (not in chronological order) of the most revealing
and major heresies that have been covered in our Heresy of the Week column in
the past 2 years. Many others covered in
our videos and articles would deserve to be on this list, such as John Paul II’s teaching in Redemptor Hominis #6 that the firm faith of non-Christian
religions proceeds from the Holy Spirit; but those are not listed here because
this is the “Heresy of the Week” Archive.*
Week of 6/18/04 – Unbelievable Apostasy
Antipope John Paul II’s
unbelievable message in commemoration of the Synagogue
Antipope
John Paul II, Message to Chief Rabbi of
“In offering you my respectful greeting,
distinguished Dr. Riccardo Di
Segni, I extend my cordial thoughts to all the
Members of the Community, to their President, Mr. Leone Elio
Paserman, and to all who are gathered to witness once
again to the importance and vigor
of the religious patrimony that is celebrated every Saturday in the Great
Synagogue of Rome…
Today’s
celebration, in whose joy we all readily join, recalls the first century
of this majestic Synagogue. It
stands on the banks of the
[These friendly relations] saw us united in commemorating the victims
of the Shoah [deceased Jews who did not accept
Christ], especially those who were wrenched from their families and from your
beloved Jewish Community in
…the
Church has not hesitated to express deep sorrow at the ‘failures of her
sons and daughters in every age’ and, in an act of repentance, has asked forgiveness for their
responsibility connected in any way with the scourges of anti-Judaism
and anti-Semitism…
Today… we are addressing a fervent prayer
to the Eternal One, to the God of Shalom, so that enmity and hatred may no
longer overpower those who turn to our
father, Abraham – Jews, Christians and Muslims…
“Our meeting today is, as it were, in
preparation for your imminent solemnity of Shavu’ot
and of our Pentecost which proclaim the fullness of our respective paschal
celebrations. May these feasts see us
united in praying David’s paschal Hallel.” (L’Osservatore Romano, June
2, 2004, p. 7.)
Comment: 1) He joins the Jewish community in
commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Synagogue – apostasy.
2) He says this Jewish community can boast of being
the most ancient Synagogue in Western Europe and of having spread Judaism –
apostasy.
3) He formally expresses his desire that he could
have been with them, in the Synagogue, commemorating it – apostasy.
4) He praises the importance and the vigor of the
religion that is celebrated every Saturday in
5) He joins again in celebrating the 100th
anniversary of the “majestic Synagogue” – apostasy.
6) On behalf of the entire Christian Community in
7) He greets the Jews as beloved brothers of the
faith of Abraham, which is another total denial of Christ, as scripture teaches
that only those who are of Christ have the faith of Abraham.
Galatians 3:14-
"That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through
Christ Jesus: that we may
receive the promise of the spirit by faith.”
Galatians 3:29- “And if you be Christ’s; then
you are the seed of Abraham.”
Pope
St. Gregory the Great (+ c. 590): “… if you be Christ’s then you are the seed of Abraham (Gal. 3:29). If we because of our faith in Christ are
deemed children of Abraham, the Jews therefore because of their perfidy have
ceased to be His seed.” (Sunday
Sermons of the Great Fathers, Vol. 1., p. 92)
Pope St. Leo the
Great, Dogmatic Letter to Flavian (449), read at
Council of Chalcedon (451), ex cathedra: “The
promises were spoken to Abraham and his seed.
He does not say “to his seeds” – as if referring to multiplicity –
but to a single one, ‘and to thy
seed,’ which is Christ (Gal. 3:16).” (Decrees
of the Ecumenical Councils, Vol. 1, p. 78.)
8) He states
that the Jews “continue to be the first-born people of the Covenant,” quoting
the Good Friday prayer of the Novus Ordo Missae, which prays that the
Jews “continue” in faithfulness to God’s Covenant. Thus, again, Antipope John Paul II is
blatantly teaching that the Jews’ Covenant with God is still valid – formal
heresy and formal apostasy!
9) He commemorates those who died as Jews and says
that their memory should be blessed – heresy.
10) On behalf of “the Church,” he repents for any
anti-Judaism and seeks for their forgiveness – apostasy. This would include the Church’s anti-Jewish
dogma that Jews who die without conversion to Catholicism go to hell, and therefore need to be converted and saved. He is just mocking Our Lord and the Church.
11) He again says that Jews, Muslims and Christians
all have Abraham as their spiritual father – apostasy and total rejection of Christ.
I don’t know what
else to say. This speech ranks right
near the top of his blasphemies and heresies. Antipope John Paul II is totally
in favor of the denial of Christ; he could not more clearly teach that the Old
Covenant is still valid; he totally denies Jesus Christ and the Catholic Faith;
he is putting his apostasy right in our face.
Those who accept this man as a Catholic, while aware of these facts, and refuse to denounce him as an
apostate, are truly heretics.
1 John 2:22 – “Who is a liar, but he who denieth
that Jesus is the Christ? He is
antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.”
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, ex cathedra: “The
Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who
are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews … cannot share
in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for
the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end
of their lives…”
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, 1441, ex cathedra:
“The Holy Roman
Church firmly believes, professes and teaches that the matter pertaining to the
law of the Old Testament, the Mosaic law, which are divided into ceremonies,
sacred rites, sacrifices, and sacraments… after our Lord’s coming… ceased, and
the sacraments of the New Testament began..
All, therefore, who after that time (the promulgation of the Gospel)
observe circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, the
holy Roman Church declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least
fit to participate in eternal salvation.”

Week of 11/26/04 – Major Heresy and
Declaration of Protestantism
U.S. Novus Ordo Bishops Officially Join “Christian Churches Together
in the U.S.A” – a Protestant Communion
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The
nation's Roman Catholic bishops voted Wednesday to join a new alliance that
would be the broadest Christian group ever formed in the United States, linking
American evangelicals and Catholics in an ecumenical organization for the first
time. The alliance, called Christian
Churches Together in the U.S.A., is set to kick off next year. It would include
mainline Protestants, Orthodox Christians, and black and other minority
churches. With about 67 million U.S. members, the Catholic Church would be the largest denomination.
Comment: All over the internet you can find articles about
this amazing act of heresy by the
With
this agreement, the
It is a teaching of the Catholic Church that those
who give their names to heretical sects are considered heretics. With this act the entire Novus
Ordo hierarchy in America has given its name to a
heretical sect.
Thus, those who are aware of this act and continue
to regard the Novus Ordo
Bishops in communion with John Paul II as the true hierarchy are formal
heretics; they are nothing more than Protestants. Also, those who, after knowing this information,
support a priest which recognizes these Bishops as the hierarchy or John Paul
II as the Pope (such as the Fraternity of St. Peter, the Society of St. Pius X,
all indult and non-sedevacantist priests) sin
mortally and support Protestantism. Those
who are aware of this declaration and deny that the sect of John Paul II is
formally heretical are liars in the service of the devil. Wake up and take a stand – this is out of
control. To name just a few, we denounce
the apostates at Catholic Family News,
The Remnant, the Society of St. Pius
X, Bob Sungenis, John Vennari,
Michael Matt, Chris Ferrara, Thomas Woods, Atila Guimaraes, Marian Horvat, Thomas Droleskey, Michael Cain, Jacob Michael, “Fr.” Nicholas Gruner, “Fr.” Paul Leonard Kramer, “Fr.” Patrick Perez, Fr.
Paul Trinchard, Fr. James Wathen,
Fr. Moderator, St. Benedict Center, Catholic Answers, EWTN, etc., etc., etc.,
all of whom obstinately recognize the Novus Ordo Protestant Bishops as their hierarchy and are
therefore heretics no different from Protestants. They are in communion with a heretical
denomination. Anyone who knows or has
contact with these heretics should denounce them as well.
The heretical communion which the
Statement of Faith: "The
National Council of Churches is a community of Christian communions,
which, in response to the gospel as revealed in the Scriptures, confess Jesus
Christ, the incarnate Word of God, as Savior and Lord. These communions
covenant with one another to manifest ever more fully the unity of the Church.
Relying upon the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, the communions come
together as the Council in common mission, serving in all creation to the glory
of God." --from the Preamble to the NCC
Constitution.
This means that the members of the National Council of Churches share a
communion covenant with all of the other denominations and recognize all the
other denominations as manifesting the unity of the Church. Nothing could be more heretical.
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (#
9), June 29, 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 St. Leo the
Great, Sermon 129:
“Wherefore, since outside the Catholic Church there is nothing perfect,
nothing undefiled… we are in no way
likened with those who are divided from the unity of the Body of Christ; we are joined in no communion.”
One final note: the AP report for this act notes:
“With about
67 million U.S. members, the Catholic Church would be the largest
denomination.”
This reminds us of the
important point that the Novus Ordo
Bishops have entered all the members of their churches, not just
themselves, into this Protestant Communion.
This means that if you recognize John Paul II as the Pope – and
therefore his Bishops as the hierarchy – YOU have been entered into
the Protestant “Christian Churches Together in the U.S.A.” You are part of it, unless you completely
denounce John Paul II and his apostate Bishops as non-Catholics with no
authority whatsoever.
Week
of 1/23/04 – Major Heresy!
John Paul II’s
New Bishop in Jerusalem says that the Catholic Church has no intention of
converting Jews to Christianity!
(FROM ISRAEL TODAY, JAN.22, 2004) “NEW BISHOP IN JERUSALEM IS JEWISH – For the first time since the
Apostle James served as bishop of Jerusalem, the Holy City has a Jewish
bishop! Benedictine Abbot Jean-Baptiste Gourion was ordained as the new bishop at the Catholic
church in Kiryat Ye’arim,
above the Israeli Arab village of Abu Ghosh near
Jerusalem. Bishop Gourion
will be responsible for the Hebrew-speaking Catholic community in Israel, many
of whom are of Jewish origin... Explaining how he (Bishop Gourion),
as a Jew, became a Catholic, he told us: ‘For
me, Christianity and Judaism are the same. I didn’t have to leave Judaism to
come to Christianity. The
Jew and the Christian form the same body.”
As such, he makes it clear that he will
not engage in ‘missionary’ activities…
After his ordination, Israel today editor Aviel
Schneider interviewed the new bishop.
Israel
today: Congratulations, Bishop Gourion…
How did your family react to your new title of bishop?
Bishop Gourion: I have a very close
relationship with my three siblings, who attended my ordination in Jerusalem
and gave me God’s blessing. All in all, I think my appointment by the Catholic
Church points to a new era between Jews and Catholic Christians. We have to
learn to understand each other better. The Catholic Church has no intention
of converting Jews to Christianity. Therefore, the
Pope advocated a Jewish bishop in Israel…
Israel
today: …the Vatican was reluctant to recognize the Jewish state,
establishing diplomatic ties with Israel just 10 years ago. One of the reasons
is that the Catholic Church thinks of itself as God’s chosen people.
Bishop Gourion: Well, 40 years ago in the
Second Vatican Council, the Church adopted a new theological position toward
Israel as God’s chosen people. The Catholic Church does not replace the Jewish people
with whom God made an eternal covenant…
Israel
today: Do you still think of yourself as part of the Jewish
people?
Bishop Gourion: Sure. I see myself as a Jew.”
Comment: “Bishop” Gourion is the new auxiliary Bishop
of the Church of John Paul II in Jerusalem. In fact, as Gourion
says in the interview, John Paul II specifically appointed Gourion to Jerusalem because of who he is and what he
believes. Does one really need to say
any more to prove that the Church of John Paul II is the counterfeit “Church”
of the Antichrist? The fact that many
who claim to be “traditional Catholics” still assert that Antipope John Paul II
and his bishops are Catholic is simply a sick
joke. Stop blaspheming Our Lord
Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church!
The “New Bishop” in Jerusalem Gourion says that
he is “a Jew”; that the Church of John Paul II “has no intention of converting
Jews to Christianity”; that the Jewish covenant with God is still valid
and not replaced by the Catholic Church.
To those blind fools and blasphemers who obstinately defend that Antipope John Paul II is the Pope, some of
whom pose as “traditional Catholics,” I say: Are you going to tell us that
“Bishop” Gourion is a Catholic? Is “Bishop” Gourion
a Bishop in your “Church” – yes or no?
Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi
(# 22), June 29, 1943:
“As therefore in the true
Christian community there is only one Body, one Spirit, one Lord, and one
Baptism, so there can be only one
faith. And therefore if a man
refuse to hear the Church let him be considered – so the Lord commands – as a
heathen and a publican. It follows that those who are divided in faith or
government cannot be living in the unity of such a Body, nor can they
be living the life of its one Divine Spirit.”
To assert that Gourion is
a Catholic in the face of this information (i.e., that he is in your Church) is
a mortal sin against the Faith and a denial of Jesus Christ – period. But
those who believe that (Antipope) John Paul II is the Pope must say that
Bishop Gourion is their fellow Catholic who
has the same Faith and is in the same Church (Body), as we can see
above, because all in the Church have the same Faith (de fide). One cannot hold
obstinate communion with Antipope John Paul II without holding communion with and having the same Faith as Antipope
John Paul II’s bishops. This is an impossibility. (This is why groups
such as the SSPX, who believe that John Paul II is the Pope, pray for his
apostate Bishops in the Canon of the Mass as the legitimate Bishops of the
Church of Jesus Christ.)
St. Robert Bellarmine, De
Romano Pontifice, lib. II, cap. 30:"Finally,
the Holy Fathers teach unanimously not only that heretics are outside of the
Church, but also that they are "ipso facto" deprived of all
ecclesiastical jurisdiction and dignity. St. Cyprian (lib. 2, epist. 6) says: 'We affirm that absolutely no heretic or
schismatic has any power or right'; and he also teaches (lib. 2, epist. 1) that the heretics who return to the Church must
be received as laymen, even though they have been formerly priests or bishops
in the Church. St. Optatus (lib. 1 cont. Parmen.) teaches that heretics and schismatics
cannot have the keys of the kingdom of heaven, nor bind nor loose. St. Ambrose
(lib. 1 de poenit., ca. 2), St. Augustine (in Enchir., cap 65), St. Jerome (lib. cont. Lucifer.) teach
the same.”
Thus, those who
affirm communion with Antipope John Paul II – and therefore Antipope John Paul II’s Bishops, such as Gourion –
once they are aware of these facts, are simply non-Catholics who hold communion
with and have the same Faith as a
non-Catholic, apostate sect which totally rejects Our Lord Jesus Christ and the
following dogmas (not to mention the Papacy, as proven last week).
Pope Eugene IV, Council of
Florence, “ex cathedra: “The
Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who
are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews … cannot
share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was
prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church
before the end of their lives…”
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, 1441, ex cathedra:
“The Holy Roman
Church firmly believes, professes and teaches that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament, the Mosaic
law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites, sacrifices, and
sacraments… after our Lord’s
coming… ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began.. All,
therefore, who after that time (the promulgation of the Gospel) observe
circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, the holy
Roman Church declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least fit to
participate in eternal salvation.”
All of Antipope John Paul II’s
Bishops believe the same thing as Gourion or accept
as their fellow “Catholic” Bishops those who believe the same thing as Gourion; that is to say, the entire Church of John Paul II
believes or holds communion with the heresy that Jews shouldn’t be
converted to Jesus Christ (and that the Old Covenant is still valid). In an address to Jews in West Germany, Nov.
17, 1980, Antipope John Paul II spoke of “the Old Covenant, never revoked by God…”
Pope Benedict XIV, Ex Quo Primum
(# 59), March 1, 1756:
“However they are not
attempting to observe the precepts of the
old Law which as everybody knows have been revoked by the coming of Christ.”
Pope Benedict XIV, Ex Quo Primum
(# 61):
“The first consideration is
that the ceremonies of the Mosaic Law
were abrogated by the coming of Christ and that they can no longer be observed
without sin after the promulgation of the Gospel.”
On August 13, 2002, the American Bishops in Union
with Antipope John Paul II issued a document on the Jews. Spearheaded by the notorious apostate William
Keeler of Baltimore, and without a peep of objection from Antipope John Paul
II, the document publicly declared that: “… campaigns that target Jews for
conversion to Christianity are no longer theologically acceptable in the
Catholic Church.” In late 2001, a Vatican Commission under Antipope
John Paul II released a book entitled The
Jewish People and the Holy Scriptures in the Christian Bible. The book says
that the Jews’ wait for the coming of the Messiah is still valid.
The Catholic Church will seek the conversion of the
Jews until the end of time. Those who
are in communion with a “Church” whose Bishops reject the conversion of the
Jews should realize that they are not in the Church of Jesus Christ (the
Catholic Church), but in a counterfeit Church which mocks Jesus Christ.
John 8:23-24:
“And Jesus said to
them: You are from beneath, I am from above.
You are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you, that you shall die
in your sins. For if you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sin.”
Pope Innocent III, Eius exemplo, Dec.
18, 1208:“By the heart we believe and by the mouth we confess the one Church, not of heretics, but the Holy Roman, Catholic, and Apostolic Church
outside of which we believe that no one is saved.”

Q.
What did you observe about the relations between Orthodox and Roman
Catholics. A. Cardinal McCarrick: “I think our Orthodox brothers and sisters still
may feel threatened by the Roman Catholic Church... There are always going to
be some people in communities who feel troubled by other religious communities,
possibly fearing that they’re going

PROSELYTIZE; his role is to find the key to unity.” (National Catholic Register, Sept. 19-25,
2004, p. 10.)
Comment: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is why there
can never be a heretic “Pope,” because the Bishops in the Church undoubtedly
follow the lead of the Pope. If John
Paul II teaches that the Eastern Schismatics should
not be converted, the Novus Ordo
“Bishops” are going to teach the same thing.

Week of 4/2/04 – Major Heresy
The “Archbishop” of Strasbourg confirms
John Paul II’s apostate teaching on the Old Covenant
and the Jews!
Archbishop Joseph Dore of Strasbourg, France, Speech to B’nai
B’rith (Jewish Freemasons), August, 2003: “Whatever
the depiction [of the Jews in traditional Catholic art]… the theological message is the same – God’s election has now passed to
the Christian people; and the Church, the true Israel, may triumph, She who
confesses the saving truth brought by Christ.
“At
“Today the Church calls Christians to
take the first steps on the path to conversion, inviting them to construct
a future with their Jewish brothers in which, together, they might be a
‘blessing for one another’ [John Paul II, 1983].” (Bulletin du prieure Marie-Reine
[195 rue de Bale, 68100 Mulhouse]; also The Angelus, Feb-March 2004, p. 70)
Comment: This is total apostasy. It is complete and utter contempt for – and
rejection of – the following dogma, which declares that the Old Covenant ceased
with the coming of Christ and was replaced with the New and Eternal Covenant of
Jesus Christ.
Pope Eugene IV, Council
of Florence, Cantate Domino, Feb. 4, 1441, ex cathedra:
“The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes
and teaches that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament, of the
Mosaic Law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites,
sacrifices, and sacraments, because they were established to signify something
in the future, although they were suited to divine worship at that time, after
our Lord’s coming had been signified by them, ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began; and that whoever, even after the passion,
placed hope in these matters of the law and submitted himself to them as
necessary for salvation, as if faith in Christ could not save without them, sinned mortally. Yet it does not deny that after the passion
of Christ up to the promulgation of the Gospel they could have been observed
until they were believed to be in no way necessary for salvation; but after the promulgation of the Gospel it
asserts that they cannot be observed without the loss of eternal salvation. All,
therefore, who after that time (the promulgation of the Gospel) observe
circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, it declares
alien to the Christian faith and not in the least fit to participate in eternal
salvation, unless someday they recover from these errors.” (Denz. 712)
Notice how the execrable apostate, “Archbishop” Dore, references Antipope John Paul II’s
speech in 1980 (and other statements from Antipope John Paul II) to justify his
apostasy. Notice how he refers to the
Old Covenant as the “First Covenant,” not the “Old” Covenant, because “Old”
implies that it is no longer in force!
Notice how he says that “we must
have the humility” to abandon the Catholic dogma that the Old Covenant has
ceased. Notice how he says that it will
require “a great labor” to extirpate (root out) this dogmatic truth from
Catholic minds. This is the “Archbishop”
of the Vatican II sect in
1 John 2:22 – “Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.”
Fr. Stephen Abraham, a priest of the Society of St.
Pius X, wrote an open letter in response to this apostasy from the “Archbishop”
of
“Your
Grace, would you prefer that we forgot about the designs of God?” (The Angelus, Feb-March 2004, p. 73)
How can this SSPX priest, and the official
publication of the SSPX, refer to this non-Catholic, blasphemous,
Christ-rejecting apostate, “Archbishop” Dore, as Your Grace? This is simply an insult to Our Lord Jesus
Christ.
John 1:17- “For the
law was given by Moses, grace and
truth came by Jesus Christ.”

The Novus Ordo
Bishops Bluntly Repudiate the Dogmatic Second Council of Lyons and the Council
of Florence!
“An
Agreed Statement of the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological
Consultation Saint Paul’s College, Washington, DC, October 25, 2003 * (U.S.
Catholic Bishops – Secretariat for Interreligious
Affairs: http://www.usccb.org/seia/filioque.htm)*
·
that in the future, because of the
progress in mutual understanding that has come about in recent decades,
Orthodox and Catholics refrain from labeling as heretical the traditions of the
other side on the subject of the procession of the Holy Spirit…
·
that the Catholic Church, as a
consequence of the normative and irrevocable dogmatic value of the Creed of
381, use the original Greek text alone in making translations of that
Creed for catechetical and liturgical use.
·
that the Catholic Church, following a
growing theological consensus, and in particular the statements made by Pope
Paul VI, declare that the condemnation made at the Second Council
of Lyons (1274) of those “who presume to deny that the Holy Spirit proceeds
eternally from the Father and the Son” is no longer applicable.
“We offer these recommendations to
our Churches in the conviction, based on our own intense study and discussion,
that our traditions’ different ways of understanding the procession of the Holy
Spirit need no longer divide us.”
Comment:
This is an incredible heresy, but first a little background. It is a
defined dogma that God the Holy Ghost proceeds eternally from the Father and
the Son.
Pope Gregory X, Second Council of Lyons, 1274, ex
cathedra: “We profess faithfully and
devotedly that the Holy Ghost proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son,
not as from two principles, but as from one principle… This the holy Roman Church, mother and mistress of all the faithful,
has till now professed, preached and taught; this she firmly holds, preaches,
professes and teaches… But because some, on account of ignorance of the
said indisputable truth, have fallen into various errors, we, wishing to close the way to such errors, with the approval of
the sacred council, condemn and reprove all who presume to deny that the Holy
Ghost proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son, or rashly to
assert that the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the Son as from two
principles and not as from one.”
The Eastern Schismatics (i.e., the so-called
“Orthodox”) reject this dogma. They only
believe that the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father; they do not believe that
the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the Son (Filioque). So, what do the Bishops of the Vatican II
sect do in their dialogue with these “Orthodox” schismatics? In their dialogue with these schismatics and heretics, they have issued the above
statement which is carried on the official website of the U.S. Bishops
in union with Antipope John Paul II.
This statement, as can be seen above, bluntly asserts that the dogmatic definition of the Second Council of
Lyons – which declared that the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the
Son (Filioque)
– is no longer applicable! Nothing
could be more formally heretical! The
U.S. Bishops in union with Antipope John Paul II are saying that a solemn, ex cathedra pronouncement of a Pope at
an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church no longer applies! I quote this incredible heresy again:
[They Recommend]: “…that the Catholic Church,
following a growing theological consensus, and in particular the statements
made by Pope Paul VI, declare that
the condemnation made at the Second Council of Lyons (1274) of those “who
presume to deny that the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the
Son” is no longer applicable.”
The U.S. Bishops in union with Antipope John Paul II are also
recommending that the current version of the Nicene-Constantinople Creed (which
is recited every Sunday at Mass), which declares that the Holy Ghost proceeds
from the Father and the Son (Filioque) be
dropped from all catechetical and liturgical use (see above) – and that only the
original Creed of 381, which only declared that the Holy Ghost proceeds from
the Father, be used! For those who don’t
know, the Catholic Church lawfully added the phrase “and the Son” to the Nicene-Constantinople Creed.
Pope Eugene IV, Council
of Florence, “Laetentur coeli,”
July 6, 1439, ex cathedra: “In the name of the Holy Trinity, of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, with the approbation of this holy general
Council of Florence we define that this
truth of faith be believed and accepted by all Christians, and that all
likewise profess that the Holy Ghost is eternally from the Father and the Son… We
define in addition that the explanation of the words ‘Filioque’
for the sake of declaring the truth and also because of imminent necessity has
been lawfully added to the Creed.”
By declaring that the “Filioque” (“and the Son”) dogma is not binding and
no longer applicable, the Novus Ordo
Bishops repudiate two dogmatic councils of the Catholic Church (Lyons II and
Florence). So, what’s next for the
Vatican II sect of Antipope John Paul II?
Will they next declare that the Council of Nicaea
(325) no longer applies because the Muslims have a problem with it! They probably could do just that and still
would still not be denounced as heretics by that large number of heretics who
call themselves “traditionalists” and “conservatives” but who are not, since
they refuse to denounce as heretics Antipope John Paul II and his apostate
Bishops.
Week of 12/10/04 – Major Apostasy
Vatican Commission under John Paul II again rejects trying to
convert Jews!
Joint Jewish “Catholic” Meeting- “Delegations of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and of the Holy See’s Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews met
for the fourth time from 17-19 October [2004] in Grottaferrata,
Italy. This Joint Committee was
established in June 2002. The following
is the Committee’s Report of the meeting… 3. The bilateral Committee [of Jews and “Catholics”] reiterated its
commitment to the principal declarations of the previous meetings, which
included a call for mutual respect of our different religious identities, and
affirmed a common rejection of any attempts to persuade people to reject their
own heritage… As believers in
the One God whose name is Peace, prayer was offered up to him to bring an
end to war...” (L’Osservatore Romano, Nov. 17, 2004, p. 8.)
Comment: This joint declaration appeared in the
official
1 John 2:22 – “Who is a liar, but
he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.”
People wonder when the following prophesy of Our
Lady of La Salette will come to fruition:
Our Lady of La Salette, Sept. 19, 1846: “

more do they need to see? The
The
statement of this Vatican Commission is perfectly in line with: 1) the
statement made by the American Bishops that “campaigns that target Jews for
conversion to Christianity are no longer theologically acceptable in the Catholic
Church”; 2) the statements made by many other high-ranking members of John Paul
II’s hierarchy; 3) the book published by the Vatican
in which it is asserted that Jews wait not in vain for the Coming of the
Messiah; and 4) the teaching of the John Paul II, who has repeatedly taught
that the Old Covenant has “never been revoked” by God and sent representatives
(!) to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Jewish Synagogue.

Hindus Worship the devil at Shrine of
Our Lady of Fatima
“Arriving
in Fátima the pilgrims made their way to the Chapel
of the Apparitions, where from the altar a Hindu priest led prayer sessions.
A commentary on the service was given by the TV reporter who explained: “This
is an unprecedented unique moment in the history of the shrine. The Hindu priest, or Sha
Tri, prays on the altar the Shaniti Pa, the
prayer for peace.” The Hindus can be seen removing their shoes before
approaching the altar rail of the chapel as the priest chants prayers from the
altar’s sanctuary… After worshipping
their gods and praying in the chapel the Hindus are shown being escorted to an
exhibition hall where a model of the controversial new basilica currently
being constructed is on display. In a setting described as ambassadorial by the
commentator, each Hindu is personally greeted by the Bishop of Leiria - Fátima, who bows to the
Hindu priest repeating his gesture of greeting. The Hindu priest is then seen clothing the Rector of the Fátima Shrine and the bishop with a Hindu priestly shawl. “On
the shoulders of the highest representatives of the Church in Fátima, the Hindu priest places a shawl with the
inscriptions of the Bagavad Gita,
one of the sacred books of Hinduism,” the reporter tells his viewers.
“The
newscast finishes with scenes of the Hindu priest lighting a candle at the
shrine while his followers dance outside the Chapel of the Apparitions chanting
praises to their gods.” (Click here to go to

Comment: There you have it. Devil worship is being conducted at the very
Chapel built over the spot where Our Lady of Fatima appeared. It is happening with the full approval of the
Shrine Rector, Msgr. Guerra, and with the full approval of the Bishop of Leiria-Fatima, and with the full approval of the head of
the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue,
“Archbishop” Michael Fitzgerald. But how
can they do this? They can do it because they learned it from Antipope John Paul II.
Antipope John Paul II has organized numerous events
where formerly Catholic churches were given over to pagans to worship the
devil. As recently as Jan. 24, 2002,
Antipope John Paul II held Assisi II, a repeat of the abominable event that
took place in 1986. Antipope John Paul
II turned the Basilica of St. Francis of
The Muslims needed a room which faced East toward
Thus, the point should be obvious: if you accept Antipope John Paul II as a
Catholic, then you must admit that one can worship the devil or accept and
promote devil worship and be part of the Church of Christ – period. This is why his Bishops are now turning the
holiest shrines of Catholicism over to devil worship – because his sect is the
counterfeit sect of the Antichrist.
This latest abomination in
“When therefore you shall see the
abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel, the prophet, standing
in the holy place: he that readeth let him
understand.” (Matthew 24:15)
We believe that
the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, which
replaces the continual sacrifice, is the New Mass. However, the abomination at the Fatima Shrine
is definitely an abomination of
desolation standing in the holy place.
It is a major sign that we are in the last days. But if these people can see that this is a
clear sign of the end, so much so that we are seeing, in their opinion, “the
abomination of desolation” standing in the holy place, then where is the
Antichrist? And where is the great harlot? The Antichrist is inseparable from the
abomination of desolation, according to Sacred Scripture. And the great harlot is predicted to come
just before the end of the world, contemporaneous with the abomination of
desolation standing in the holy place.
The fact is that the abomination of desolation (the
New Mass), the Antichrist (John Paul II) and the great harlot (the Vatican II
sect) are all here now; but the people who oppose the Fatima abomination, yet
accept Antipope John Paul II, fail to see what is really underlying it and
causing it – and while they are opposing one abomination they are remaining in
communion with another (Antipope John Paul II), the root cause of the
“abomination of desolation” in Fatima.
This latest abomination also shows how misled and
deceived are the useful heretics who try to explain away everything. On an April 25 EWTN broadcast, Fr. Mitch Pacwa and Fr. Robert Fox discussed the rumors that
St. Francis Xavier,
Sept. 18, +1542: “I told him that God,
most Faithful and True, held the misbelievers and their prayers in abomination,
and so willed that their worship, which He rejected altogether, should come to
naught.” (Life and Letters, Vol.
1, p. 116)
St. Francis Xavier,
Spring +1543: “One day I turned out of my road into a village of heathens…
There was a woman with child, who had been three days in labor with so much
difficulty, that many despaired of her life.
Their prayers for her were not heard,
for the prayer of the wicked is an abomination in the eyes of God, because
the gods of the heathens are all devils [Psalm 95:5; 1 Cor. 10:20].” (Life
and Letters, Vol. 1, p. 147)

The Vatican II Sect commemorates
Mennonite “martyrdom”
“In a common statement, Catholics
and Mennonites together regret that they and other Christians ‘were unable to
resolve the problems of the Church of that time in such a way as to prevent divisions
in the Body of Christ that have lasted to the present day.’” (L’Osservatore Romano,
March 24, 2004, p. 10.)
Comment: In early March (see our Heresy of the Week for 3/19/04), the Vatican II sect was following Antipope John Paul II’s lead in commemorating the Lutheran pastor Paul Schneider. Late in March, the Vatican II sect commemorates Mennonite “martyrdom.” This is formal heresy coming out basically on a weekly basis. Could Antipope John Paul II’s sect deny the dogma Outside the Church There is No Salvation any more clearly or consistently? What kind of “Catholic” could affirm communion with such a “hierarchy” while aware of these f
