Benedict XVI's heretical statements at the United States in April 2008

Benedict XVI�s Recent Heresies

By Bro. Michael Dimond, O.S.B.

Introductory Note: * A Heretic is a baptized person who rejects an authoritative teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.� A schismatic is a person who refuses communion with a true Pope or refuses communion with true Catholics.� An apostate is a person who rejects the Christian faith completely.� All heretics, schismatics and apostates sever themselves from the Catholic Church automatically (Pius XII, Mystici Corporis, June 29, 1943).� Therefore, if one is a heretic he is not a Catholic (Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum June 29, 1896).� And most heretics convince themselves that they are not denying any dogma when they actually are.� This page will be updated periodically. �(All emphasis, such as bolding, underlining, and italicization is not necessarily that of the quoted author.)� * Heresies from Benedict XVI used in past Heresy of the Week columns are usually found in Benedict XVI's recent heresies file.� His worst heresies are found in our section on: The Heresies of Benedict XVI file.� Other past Heresies of the Week are probably found in either the Heresy of the Week Archive or the Some of the Recent Feature Articles page or The Heresy of the Week Archive for those from years back.

Some other heretical statements from Benedict XVI while in America

Interview of Benedict XVI during Flight to the United States, April 15, 2008: �And naturally, interreligious and ecumenical meetings are part of this Visit, especially an additional Meeting in the Synagogue with our Jewish friends on the eve of their Passover Feast.� This is, therefore, the religious and pastoral aspect of the Church in the United States at this moment in our history, and the Meeting with all the others in this common brotherhood that binds us in a common responsibility� What I find fascinating in the United States is that they began with a positive concept of secularity, because this new people was composed of communities and individuals who had fled from the State Church and wanted to have a lay, a secular State that would give access and opportunities to all denominations, to all forms of religious practice.� Thus, an intentionally secular new State was born; they were opposed to a State Church.� But the State itself had to be secular precisely out of love for religion it its authenticity, which can only be lived freely.� And thus, we find this situation of a State deliberately and decidedly secular but precisely through a religious will in order to give authenticity to religion.�[1]

First, Benedict XVI says that the religious and pastoral aspect of the Church in the U.S., at this moment in history, is to meet with false religious leaders and to have apostate interreligious gatherings!� Second, Benedict XVI states that, no matter what religion you believe in, we are all bound together in common brotherhood - heresy.� Third, he says that the Church should be separated from the state, and that only when the Church and the state are separated can religion have authenticity � heresy.�

Benedict XVI, April 15, 2008, Discourse at the White House: �Historically, not only Catholics, but all believers have found here the freedom to worship God in accordance with the dictates of their conscience, while at the same time being accepted as part of a common-wealth in which each individual and group can make its voice heard.�[2]

He praises the heretical idea that people should worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience � heresy.

Benedict XVI, April 20, 2008, Prayer at Ground Zero in New York City: �O God of love, compassion and healing, look on us, people of many different faiths and traditions who gather today at this site, the scene of incredible violence and pain.� We ask you in your goodness to give eternal light and peace.�[3]

He asks for God to give eternal light and peace to people who practice false religions.� This is heresy.� Noticing that he is invoking God, as if he is speaking in union with the other religions � as if he is presenting them all, and their false faiths, to the one true God!� This is striking.� It contrasts with, for instance, the prophets of the Old Testament.� They would specifically distinguish their true sacrifice to the true God from the false ones of false religions to their false gods.� It�s as if Benedict XVI is joining all of their offerings and religions together in abominable fashion!�

Benedict XVI, April 20, 2008, Discourse at JFK International Airport in New York: �It was heart-warming to spend time with leaders and representatives of other Christian communities and other religions, and I renew my assurances or respect and esteem to all of you.�[4]

He says that he renews his respect and esteem for leaders of false religions.� This is apostasy.

A HERETIC CANNOT BE A VALID POPE

��

It is a proven fact that Ratzinger (now Benedict XVI) is a non-Catholic heretic.� The Catholic Church teaches that a heretic cannot be validly elected Pope, since a heretic is not a member of the Catholic Church.� Ratzinger, who is now Benedict XVI, is a non-Catholic Antipope whose election was utterly null and void.

Pope Paul IV, Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, Feb. 15, 1559: �6. 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 acquired 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 through the lapse of any period of time in the foregoing situation;
(iii) it shall not be held as partially legitimate in any way�

�(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�.

10. No one at all, therefore, may infringe this document of our approbation, re-introduction, sanction, statute and derogation of wills and decrees, or by rash presumption contradict it. If anyone, however, should presume to attempt this, let him know that he is destined to incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul.

Given in Rome at Saint Peter's in the year of the Incarnation of the Lord 1559, 15th February, in the fourth year of our Pontificate.

+ I, Paul, Bishop of the Catholic Church��

St. Robert Bellarmine: �A pope who is a manifest heretic automatically (per se) ceases to be pope and head, just as he ceases automatically to be a Christian and a member of the Church.� Wherefore, he can be judged and punished by the Church.� This is the teaching of all the ancient Fathers who teach that manifest heretics immediately lose all jurisdiction.� (De Romano Pontifice, II, 30)
