Benedict XVI strikes again, he says schismatics are "Pastors"

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 the Heretic strikes again; he states once again that a schismatic leader is a pastor in the Church

Common Declaration of Benedict XVI with Orthodox �H.B.� Chrysostomos II, June 16, 2007: �We, Benedict XVI, Pope and Bishop of Rome, and Chrysostomos II, Archbishop of Nea Justiniana and All Cyprus... we assure our faithful of our fervent prayers as Pastors in the Church... among the human rights to be safeguarded, freedom of religion should be at the top of the list.� Failure to respect this right constitutes a very serious offence to the dignity of the human being, who is struck deep within his heart where God dwells.� Consequently, to profane, destroy or sack the places of worship of any religion is an act against humanity and the civilization of the peoples.

�� The rich patrimony of faith and the solid Christian tradition of our lands should spur Catholics and Orthodox to a renewed impetus in proclaiming the Gospel in our age, in being faithful to our Christian vocation and in responding to the demands of the contemporary world.� (L�Osservatore Romano, July 4, 2007, pp. 6-7.)

In a common declaration, Benedict XVI states that an openly schismatic �archbishop� is a pastor in the Church of Christ.� This completely rejects the Catholic dogmas on the Papacy and the Church. �We covered in our The Heresies of Benedict XVI [PDF file] that last fall Benedict XVI told the schismatic �Orthodox� Patriarch of Constantinople that he was a pastor �in the Church of Christ.�� As we mentioned then, this particular heresy is arguably Benedict XVI�s worst and most indefensible.� Use it against any defender of Antipope Benedict XVI.� For this proves that he holds that one can reject the Papacy, and even lead a sect full of Papacy-rejecters, and be in the Church.� It is, once again, absolute and total proof that Benedict XVI is a heretic and that anyone who defends him obstinately is also a heretic and a schismatic; for if they affirm that they are in the same Church as Benedict XVI (which they must if they think he�s the pope), then they must affirm that they are in the same Church as the leading schismatics in the world, since Benedict XVI has declared in public common declarations that he�s in the same Church as these schismatic leaders and that they are even pastors in the Church!

Second, Benedict XVI says that freedom to believe whatever you want is at the top of the list of rights that need to be safeguarded.� Third, he says that Catholics and �Orthodox� need to be faithful to their Christian vocation.� This means that he has absolutely no problem with people rejecting Catholic teaching, and to do so is to be a faithful Christian.�� Here�s another heretical statement Benedict XVI recently made to this schismatic:

Benedict XVI, Address, June 16, 2007, to �H.B.� Chrysostomos II, �Orthodox Archbishop of Nea Justiniana and All Cyprus�: �For this reason, Your Beatitude, in following in the footsteps of the Apostle to the Gentiles, you did not come from Cyprus to Rome merely for an �exchange of ecumenical courtesy�, but rather to reaffirm your firm decision to persevere in praying to the Lord to show us how to achieve full communion... In you, I greet the Pastor of an ancient and illustrious Church, a shining tessera of that bright mosaic, the East... Your appreciated presence reminds me of the fervent preaching of St. Paul in Cyprus.� (L�Osservatore Romano, July 4, 2007, p. 6.)

Benedict XVI says that the schismatic can �show us how to achieve full communion.�� He also says that he is the Archbishop of all of Cyprus, as if he is the legitimate ordinary of that territory.� He goes on to say that his presence reminds him of St. Paul.� Benedict XVI is a total heretic and a schismatic.�

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)
