Benedict XVI’s Outrageous Promotion of Schism and Schismatics

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 Outrageous Promotion of Schism and Schismatics

Benedict XVI�s Telegram to �His Holiness� Anba Tawadros, the new �Patriarch� of the Coptic Orthodox Church �elected� on Sunday, November 4, 2012.� The entire telegram is as follows:

�I was filled with joy on learning of your election as Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of Saint Mark and I gladly extend to you and to the clergy and faithful of the Coptic Orthodox Church my good wishes and prayerful solidarity, asking the Lord to pour out his abundant blessings upon the lofty ministry you are about to assume.� I am confident that, like your renowned predecessor Pope Shenounda III, you will be a genuine spiritual father for your people and an effective partner with all your fellow-citizens in building the new Egypt in peace and harmony, serving the common good and the good of the entire Middle East.� In these challenging times it is important for all Christians to bear witness to the love and fellowship that binds them together, mindful of the prayer offered by our Lord at the Last Supper; that all may be one, so that the world may believe.� I thank the Almighty for the important progress that was made, under the leadership of your esteemed predecessor, in the relations between the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, and I earnestly hope and pray that our continuing friendship and dialogue, guided by the Holy Spirit, will bear fruit in ever closer solidarity and lasting reconciliation.� May our Heavenly Father fill you with peace and strength for the noble task that awaits you.

BENEDICTUS PP. XVI�[1]

For those who do not know, the �Orthodox� are schismatics who deny the Papacy, papal infallibility, numerous councils of the Catholic Church, etc.� To put it simply, they are essentially Protestants who claim devotion to Our Lady, and have some valid but illicit sacraments.� The Catholic Church infallibly teaches that the �Orthodox� are outside the true Church and that their followers are on the road to everlasting damnation.� But Benedict XVI believes the �Orthodox� are part of the one true Church of Jesus Christ!� In the telegram above, Benedict XVI states he �was filled with joy� when he heard news of the election of a new �Orthodox� schismatic leader!� Benedict declares the new schismatic leader to be the �Pope� and �Patriarch of the See of Saint Mark�.� Benedict XVI is proclaiming to the whole world that the new schismatic �Orthodox� leader is the official occupant of the one true Church�s �See of Saint Mark�.� This is outrageous schism.� He declares that the schismatic leader�s new office of schismatic leadership is a �lofty ministry�! �He also says that to be the new schismatic leader in Bulgaria is a �noble task�.

Maxim, �Patriarch� of the Bulgarian �Orthodox� Church, passed away on November 6, 2012, at the age of 98.� Upon hearing the news, Benedict XVI sent a Telegram to the President of the �Holy� Synod of the Bulgarian �Orthodox� Church.� The entire telegram is as follows:

�It was with profound sadness that I received the news of the death of our beloved Brother in Christ, His Holiness, Maxim, Metropolitan of Sofia and Patriarch of Bulgaria, who for many long years served the Lord and his people devotedly.� In the name of the Catholic Church, I wish to assure you and all the bishops, priests and faithful of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church that I join in your grief with prayer.� May the Lord, who is good and merciful, welcome into his heavenly home our beloved Brother Maxim.� May he grant him peace and everlasting memory!� In sharing in the grief of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, I give thanks to God for all the late Patriarch�s work for the good of his Church and the people of his country.� In particular, I recall the warm welcome that was extended to Blessed Pope John Paul II during his Visit to Bulgaria in May 2002.� I thank the Lord for the good relations that the Patriarch developed with the Catholic Church in his land and I sincerely hope that good relations may continue for the sake of the proclamation of the Gospel.� By conveying my condolences and assuring you of my remembrance in prayer, please accept, Your Excellency, this expression of my sincere greeting in Christ.�[2]

As he always does, Benedict XVI calls the schismatic leader �Holiness� and says he �served the Lord� by being the leader of the schismatic �Orthodox� Church.� He calls the followers of the schismatic church �faithful� and he says he is in �grief� over the schismatic leader�s death.� This clearly means that Benedict XVI believes that by losing the life-long schismatic leader we have lost a great leader of the true Church of Christ.� He even asks the Lord to �welcome� the schismatic leader into Heaven and grant him �everlasting memory!�� Benedict closes his schismatic Telegram by giving �thanks to God for all the late Patriarch�s work� of promoting schism throughout the land.� Benedict XVI also calls the schismatic bishop �Your Excellency�.� �Your Excellency� is an honorific title that is given to Bishops of the Catholic Church.� It means you consider that person a Bishop in the Catholic Church.� By a decree of the Sacred Congregation of Ceremonial (December 31, 1930) the Holy See granted bishops of the Roman Catholic Church the title of Most Reverend Excellency (Latin, Excellentia Reverendissima).^{^[3]} Benedict XVI is a complete and total 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)
