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 SAYS WE ARE INDEBTED TO THE KORAN AND PARTICIPATES IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF IT

 

Benedict XVI, Address to Foundation for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue, Feb. 1, 2007: �� the first result of your work: a joint edition of the three Sacred Books of the three monotheistic religions in their original language and in chronological order� we, Jews, Christians and Muslims are called to develop the bonds that unite us� Thus, you have produced this beautiful edition of the three books which are the source of our religious beliefs, creators of culture, that have made a deep mark on peoples and to which we are indebted today.The reinterpretation, and for some people, the discovery of texts that so many people across the world venerate as sacred, demands mutual respect in trusting dialogue.

�� a common task of reflection.This is a labor of reason for which I wholeheartedly appeal, with you, to be able to examine God�s mystery in the light of our respective religious traditions and wisdom so as to discern the values likely to illumine the men and women of all the peoples on earth, whatever their culture and religion�. Thus, we will be able to make headway in interreligious and intercultural dialogue which today is more necessary than ever: a true dialogue, respectful of differences, courageous, patient and persevering, which finds its strength in prayer and is nourished by the hope that dwells in all who believe in God and put their trust in him.� (L�Osservatore Romano, Feb. 7, 2007, p. 5)

 

In a speech to the Foundation for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue, Benedict XVI speaks of a set of books it has published.This set contains, as Benedict XVI says,the three Sacred Books of the three monotheistic religions in their original language and in chronological order.�In other words, this set (which Benedict XVI is praising) contains the �Hebrew Bible,� the New Testament and the Muslim Koran (which denies the Divinity of Christ and blasphemes the Holy Trinity).Benedict XVI speaks positively of all of these books, and says we are �indebted� to them.Here is a picture and description of the books contained in this ecumenical volume, which Benedict XVI praised and said we are indebted to.Think about the fact that Benedict XVI said that we are indebted to the Koran!Think about the fact that he praised a newly published set of books which promotes the Muslim Koran!This is, of course, total apostasy.Once again, this is equivalent to kissing the Koran in words.

 

In fact, as we can see from this link above, Benedict XVI�s representatives (with his full approval) are part of the board which oversees the distribution of this set of books, which includes the Koran.Thus, it�s accurate to say that Benedict XVI participates in the distribution of the Koran!

 

As we can see above, he also made numerous other statements which express complete religious indifferentism and ecumenical apostasy.He says that �our respective religious traditions� can illumine all the peoples of Earth, whatever their religion.He also says that hope dwells in all who believe in God; in other words, there is no need to accept Christ.

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)
