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 promotes total apostasy with Islam

 

Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, and Archbishop Pier Luigi Celeta, Secretary, sent a message at the close of Ramadan (the Muslim month of fasting) to the Muslim community on the theme, �Christians and Muslims: called to promote a culture of peace�:

 

Dear Muslim Friends, It gives me special pleasure to send you for the first time friendly and warmest greetings from the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue on the occasion of your joyful feast of �Id al-Fitr, with which the month-long fasting and prayer of Ramadan ends.This month is always an important time for the Muslim community and gives to each individual member a new strength for their personal, family and social existence.It matters that all of us witness to our religious beliefs with a life increasingly integrated and in conformity with the Creator�s plan, a life concerned with serving our brothers and sisters in ever increasing solidarity and fraternity with members of other religionsIn the troubled times we are passing through, religious believers have, as servants of the Almighty, a duty above all to work in favour of peace, by showing respect for the convictions of individuals and communities everywhere through freedom of religious practice.Religious freedom, which must not be reduced to mere freedom of worship, is one of the essential aspects of freedom of conscience, which is the right of every individual and a cornerstone of human rights�

�As religious believers, it is up to us all to be educators of peace�No individual in the national community should be excluded on the grounds of his or her race, religion or any other personal characteristic.Together, as members of different religious traditions, we are called to spread a teaching which honors all human creatures, a message of love between individuals and peoples�Christians and Muslims will work together in mutual respect for peace and for a better future for all people; it will provide an example for the young people of today to follow and imitate�

��This is the ardent hope I share with you: that Christians and Muslims continue to develop increasingly friendly and constructive relationships in order to share their specific riches, and that they will pay particular attention to the quality of the witness of their believers.Dear Muslim friends, once again I give you my warmest greetings on the occasion of your festival and I ask the God of Peace and Mercy to give you all good health, serenity and prosperity.�[1]

First, they encourage the Muslims to practice their false religion by sending them warmest greetings on the day of their �feast� - heresy.Second, they state that the false religion of Islam gives the individual Muslim �strength� � heresy.Third, they say that members of all religions are �servants of the Almighty�- heresy.Fourth, they state that we must show �respect for the convictions of individuals and communities everywhere through freedom of religious practice� � heresy.Fifth, they state that religious freedom is the �cornerstone of human rights� � heresy.Sixth, they say different religious �believers� are educators of true peace � heresy.Seventh, they say that no one, no matter what they believe, should ever be excluded � heresy.Eighth, they say that as �members of different religious traditions we are called to spread a teaching which honors all human creatures, a message of love� � heresy.Ninth, they declare that �Christians and Muslims will work together in mutual respect� and this will �provide an example for the young people to follow and imitate� � heresy.Tenth, they state that Christians and Muslims will �share their specific riches, and that they will pay particular attention to the quality of the witness of their believers�- heresy.This is to state that Islam possesses riches, which is something the apostate Paul VI also stated.They also declare here that members of Islam are witnesses of God.

 

These heresies are found in L�Osservatore Romano, Benedict XVI�s official newspaper.In fact, Benedict XVI�s published letter to the new editor of L� Osservatore Romano is on page one of the most recent edition of L�Osservatore Romano (October 31st edition).In the letter Benedict XVI states that L�Osservatore Romano is �the Vatican newspaper�[2] and �the �Pope�s paper�.�[3]Therefore all of these heresies in this short letter are fully approved of by the apostate Benedict XVI.

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)
