Benedict XVI's latest heresies from September to October 2009

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.

Benedict XVI�s latest heresies

Benedict XVI, October 27, 2009 Message to �Orthodox� Bishop Karekin II for the 10^th anniversary of his election and enthronement as a schismatic bishop of the �Orthodox� Church:

�To His Holiness Karekin II Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians

�Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ� (Gal 1:3)� On the joyful occasion of the 10^th anniversary of your election and enthronement as Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, I extend to Your Holiness my warm fraternal greetings.� I give thanks to God for the blessings he has bestowed on the Armenian Apostolic Church through Your Holiness� ministry� The recovery of freedom for the Church in Armenia towards the end of the last century brought joy to Christians throughout the world.� The immense task of rebuilding the ecclesial community fell upon Your Holiness� shoulders.� What has already been achieved, in such a short time, is truly remarkable: new initiatives have flourished for the Christian education of the young, for the training of clergy, the creation of new parishes, the building of new churches and community centers, as well as the promotion of Christian values in the social and cultural life of the nation.� Your Holiness, I implore Almighty God that, through the intercession of St Gregory the Illuminator, we may be ever more closely united in a holy bond of Christian faith, hope and love.� On this significant anniversary, I pray that the blessings of the Triune God may rest upon Your Holiness: may the love of God the Father enfold you, the wisdom of the Son enlighten you and the fire of the Holy Spirit inspire you.� With sentiments of esteem, I assure you of my fraternal affection in the Lord.� [1]

Benedict XVI says that the anniversary of the election of a schismatic bishop is �joyful.�� He states that �blessings� have come to people through the schismatic�s �ministry.�� Benedict XVI states that the immense task of rebuilding the church has fallen upon the schismatic�s shoulders.� He then praises the schismatic for the �remarkable� schismatic work that has been completed.� He praises the new schismatic churches and clergy that have been created.� The schismatic Benedict XVI then states that he esteems the schismatic and prays that the blessings of God will rest upon the schismatic.� Anyone who does not agree that Benedict XVI is a schismatic, and that he believes that schismatic bishops are part of the one true Church of Jesus Christ, is a total liar.

Benedict XVI, November 1, 2009 Speech after the Angelus: �Exactly 10 years have passed since high-ranking representatives of the Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church signed the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, on 31 October 1999, in Augsburg.� That statement was also adhered to in 2006 by the World Methodist Council.� The Document attested to a consensus between Lutherans and Catholics on the fundamental truths of the doctrine of justification � truths which lead us to the heart of the Gospel itself and to the essential questions of our life.� We are accepted and redeemed by God; our existence is inscribed on the horizon of grace; it is guided by a merciful God, who pardons our sins and calls us to new life in the footsteps of his Son; we live by the grace of God and are called to respond to his gift; all this frees us from fear and instills hope and courage in a world full of uncertainty, uneasiness, and suffering.� On the day that the Joint Declaration was signed, the Servant of God John Paul II defined it as �a milestone on the difficult path to re-establishing full unity among Christians� (Angelus, 31 October 1999).� Thus, this anniversary is an occasion to remember the truth about the justification of man, to which we bear common witness, reuniting us in ecumenical celebration that we may look more deeply into this doctrine and others that are the object of the ecumenical dialogue.�[2]

He states that the Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation signed the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification.� Benedict XVI states that this agreement formed a consensus between Lutherans and Catholics on the fundamental truths of the doctrine of justification.� Benedict XVI also states that Lutherans and Catholics bear common witness on how man is justified.� The Joint Declaration on the doctrine of justification states clearly that man is justified by faith alone and that the condemnations of the Council of Trent against the Lutherans for believing in justification by faith alone no longer apply.

Benedict XVI, October 29, 2009 Address to the new ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran: �� the Holy See aims to strengthen its relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, and promote reciprocal understanding and collaboration with a view to the common good.� Iran is a great Nation that possesses eminent spiritual traditions, and its people has a profound religious sensibility.� This can be a reason for hope in an increasing openness and a trusting collaboration with the international community� Today everyone must hope for and support a new phase of international cooperation� Faith in the one God must bring all believers closer, impelling them to work together for the defense and promotion of fundamental values.� Among these rights, religious freedom and freedom of conscience play a fundamental role, because they constitute the basis of the other freedoms� Moreover, as I have often had the opportunity to emphasize, it is an urgent necessity of our time to stabilize cordial relations among believers of different religions, in order to construct a world that is more human and in greater harmony with God�s plan for Creation.�[3]

Benedict XVI wants to strengthen relations with an Islamic country.� He states that Iran � a country that is about one hundred percent Islamic in its �faith� � has eminent spiritual traditions.� He also says that Iran�s people possess �a profound religious sensibility.�� He then says that we need to work with believers of different false religions to construct a world more in accord with God�s plan.�

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)
