Benedict XVI's Flight of Apostasy: March 2009 Trip to Africa

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 Flight of Apostasy: Benedict XVI�s Outrageous Heresies during his recent trip to Africa

Benedict XVI, March 19, 2009 Address:

�In the Lord Jesus there is no more Jew or Gentile, man or woman (cf. Gal 3:28).� In his flesh he has reconciled all peoples.� In the power of the Holy Spirit, I appeal to everyone: �Be reconciled to God!� (2 Cor 5:20).� No ethnic or cultural difference, no difference of race, sex or religion must become a cause for dispute among you.� [1]

This is an example of Benedict XVI totally twisting the scriptures.� He quotes Galatians 3:28, which states that we are all one in Jesus Christ.� Then he says this means that differences of religion or religious issues should never become a dispute among people!� This is apostasy from Benedict XVI.�

Benedict XVI, March 19, 2009 Address to Muslim community of Cameroon:

�Dear Friends, Grateful for this opportunity to meet representatives of the Muslim community in Cameroon, I express my heartfelt thanks to Mr Amadou Bello for his kind words on your behalf.� Our encounter is a vivid sign of the desire we share with all people of good will � in Cameroon, throughout Africa and across the globe � to seek opportunities to exchange ideas about how religion makes an essential contribution to our understanding of culture and the world, and to the peaceful coexistence of all the members of the human family� Cameroon is home to thousands of Christians and Muslims, who often live, work and worship in the same neighborhood.� Both believe in one, merciful God who on the last day will judge mankind (cf. Lumen Gentium, 16).� Together they bear witness to the fundamental values of family, social responsibility, obedience to God�s law and loving concern for the sick and suffering.� By patterning their lives on these virtues and teaching them to the young, Christians and Muslims not only show how they foster the full development of the human person, but also how they forge bonds of solidarity with one�s neighbors and advance the common good.� My friends, I believe a particularly urgent task of religion today is to unveil the vast potential of human reason, which is itself God�s gift and which is elevated by revelation and faith.� Belief in the one God, far from stunting our capacity to understand ourselves and the world, broadens it.� Far from setting us against the world, it commits us to it.� We are called to help others see the subtle traces and mysterious presence of God in the world which he has marvelously created and continually sustains with his ineffable and all-embracing love.� Although his infinite glory can never be directly grasped by our finite minds in this life, we nonetheless catch glimpses of it in the beauty that surrounds us...

�Genuine religion thus widens the horizon of human understanding and stands at the base of any authentically human culture.� It rejects all forms of violence and totalitarians: not only on principles of faith, but also of right reason.� Indeed, religion and reason mutually reinforce one another since religion is purified and structured by reason, and reason�s full potential is unleashed by revelation and faith.� I therefore encourage you, my dear Muslim friends, to imbue society with the values that emerge from this perspective and elevate human culture, as we work together to build a civilization of love.� May the enthusiastic cooperation of Muslims, Catholics and other Christians in Cameroon be a beacon to other African nations of the enormous potential of an interreligious commitment to peace, justice and the common good!� With these sentiments, I once again express my gratitude for this auspicious occasion to meet you during my visit to Cameroon.� I thank Almighty God for the blessings he has bestowed upon you and your fellow citizens, and I pray that the links that bind Christians and Muslims in their profound reverence for the one God will continue to grow stronger, so that they will reflect more clearly the wisdom of the Almighty, who enlightens the hearts of all mankind.�[2]

First, Benedict XVI states that Muslims are �of good will.�� Second, he states that �religion� � any religion � �makes an essential contribution�!� Third, he utters the heresy that Muslims believe in the one God who will judge mankind on the last day.� Fourth, he says that Muslims have obedience to God�s law.� Fifth, he states that all religions have �vast potential�!� Sixth, he states that different religions �are called to help others see the subtle traces and mysterious presence of God.�� Seventh, he states that �genuine religion thus widens the horizon of human understanding and stands at the base of any authentically human culture�; and he adds: �I therefore encourage you, my dear Muslim friends, to imbue society with the values that emerge from this perspective and elevate human culture�!� This means that there is more than one �genuine� religion.� Eighth, he states that �I thank Almighty God for the blessings he has bestowed upon you.�� Benedict XVI therefore believes that God blesses Muslim leaders who reject the one true God, Jesus Christ.� Ninth, Benedict XVI then utters the heresy that �I pray that the links that bind Christians and Muslims in their profound reverence for the one God will continue to grow stronger, so that they will reflect more clearly the wisdom of the Almighty.�� This is pure heresy and blasphemy.

Benedict XVI, March 20, 2009 Discourse to political and civil authorities in Cameroon:

�I am glad, too, that members of other Christian ecclesial communities were able to be present at some of our gatherings, and I renew my respectful greetings to them and their leaders� My meeting with members of the Muslim community here in Cameroon was another highlight that will remain with me.� As we continue on our journey towards greater mutual understanding, I pray that we will also grow in respect and esteem for one another, and strengthen our resolve to work together to proclaim the God-given dignity of the human person��[3]

Benedict XVI respects and esteems heretics and the leaders of false religions.

Benedict XVI, March 15, 2009 Discourse at Simile International Airport:

�I gratefully acknowledge too the presence of members of other Christian confessions and the followers of other religions.� By joining with us today you offer a clear sign of the good will and harmony that exist in this country between people of different religious traditions� Not bitter interethnic or interreligious rivalry, but the righteousness, peace and joy of God�s kingdom, so aptly described by Pope Paul VI as the civilization of love.�[4]

Benedict XVI says he is grateful for heretics and for members of false religions.� He also says that the joy of God�s kingdom is demonstrated by members of false religions!

Benedict XVI, March 17, 2009 answers to questions during his flight to Cameroon: �I have now spoken with more than half of the African Bishops, and they have told me that relations with the Muslims, despite the problems that can be identified, are highly promising.� Dialogue is growing in mutual respect and cooperation in common ethical responsibilities.� Moreover, there is a growing sense of catholicity which helps overcome tribalism, one of the great problems, and from this comes the joy of being Christian.� One problem with the traditional religions is the fear of the spirits.� [5]

Benedict XVI states that he has respect for Muslims who reject Jesus Christ, are outside the Church and on road to eternal damnation.�

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)
