Benedict XVI Commemorates Brother Roger, a non-Catholic

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 Commemorates Brother Roger, the founder of the Ecumenical �Monastery� of Taize, France

On July 9th, 2010 Benedict XVI addressed a message to �Brother� Alois of the Taize Ecumenical Community. This letter was a commemoration of the five year anniversary of the death of �Brother� Roger Schutz.� The letter was signed by �Cardinal� Bertone on behalf of Benedict XVI:

�

�Dear Brother,

��

In these days when we remember the return to the Father of dear Brother Roger, the Founder of the Taize Community, who was murdered five years ago, on 16 August 2005, during the evening prayer in the Church of Reconciliation, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI wants you to know of his spiritual closeness and union in prayer with the Community and all those involved in commemorating Brother Roger.� A tireless witness to the Gospel of peace and reconciliation, Brother Roger was a pioneer in the difficult paths towards unity among the disciples of Christ.� Seventy years ago, he began a community that continues to see thousands of young adults, searching for meaning in their lives, come to it from around the world, welcoming them in prayer and allowing them to experience a personal relationship with God.� Although he has entered eternal joy, he still speaks to us.� May his witness to an ecumenism of holiness inspire us in our march towards unity, and may your Community continue to live and to radiate his charism, especially towards the younger generations!� With all his heart, the Holy Father asks God to fill you with his blessings, as well as the Brothers of the Taize Community and all who are involved with you on the roads to unity among the disciples of Christ, especially the young.�[1]�

The monastery of Taize, France is an ecumenical non-denominational �monastery� that Brother Roger Schutz founded.� Brother Roger died as a non Catholic, and spent his life in a non-Catholic community that rejected Catholic teaching.� But of course, Benedict XVI commemorates this arch-heretic on the five year anniversary of his death.� Benedict XVI wants to let the ecumenical non-Catholic monastery know of his spiritual closeness and that he is united with them in prayer.� He also wants to inform everyone who is commemorating this deceased public heretic that he is in union with them.� Benedict XVI then states that Brother Roger has �entered eternal joy.�� The heresy that Brother Roger has entered eternal joy was something Benedict XVI declared years ago, immediately after Bro. Roger�s death.� It is blatant heresy to declare that a deceased non Catholic, and especially a leader of an ecumenical monastery, has entered eternal joy.� By this act, Benedict XVI indicates in the most public way possible that he considers holding the Catholic faith to be completely and totally meaningless.�

Benedict XVI then states that Brother Roger �still speaks to us,� as if he�s a saint or some great spiritual teacher of the true Church.� Benedict XVI goes on to say: �may his witness to an ecumenism of holiness inspire us.�� What does that mean?� It�s just more heretical nonsense.� Benedict XVI then asks the ecumenical monastery to continue to live and radiate Brother Roger�s charism, �especially to the younger generations!�� One of the definitions for the word charism is �a divinely conferred gift or power.� [2]� According to Benedict XVI, Brother Roger had �a divinely conferred gift or power.�� By praising Brother Roger�s supposed �holiness� and spiritual gifts, and calling them �inspirational� to the �younger generations,� Benedict XVI is encouraging people to follow Brother Roger�s example.� That is to say, he encourages them to reject the Papacy, enter a non-Catholic monastery, and be a non-Catholic, just like Brother Roger.� Benedict XVI ends his message by asking God to fill the ecumenical, non-Catholic community with blessings and he states that they are �the disciples of Christ.�� This is heresy and apostasy.

If you consider Benedict XVI to be a Catholic � and those who wrongly believe him to be the pope must do so � then you would have to be a complete and total idiot to bother being a Catholic.� That�s because your �pope� holds that to reject Catholic teaching, and even found a non-Catholic monastery, sends you straight to Heaven.�

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)
