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 Sends Good Wishes to a Rabbi for Yom Kippur

and Expresses his Gratitude and Affection for the Synagogue in Rome

 

On the occasion of the Jewish Holy Days of Rosh Ha-Shanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot, Benedict XVI sent a telegram addressed to Dr. Ricardo Di Segni, Chief Rabbi of Rome.

 

“On the occasion of Rosh Ha-Shanah 5771, of Yom Kippur and of Sukkot, I am pleased to express my most cordial and sincere good wishes to you and to the entire Jewish Community of Rome, together with the hope that these feasts may bring an abundance of Blessings from the Eternal One and be a source of deep joy.  May the will to promote justice and peace, of which the world today stands in such great need, increase in us all.  I remember with sentiments of gratitude and affection my Visit to the ‘Temple Maggiore’.  May God in his goodness protect the whole Community and grant that we may grow in reciprocal friendship in Rome and throughout the world.”[1] 

 

First, Benedict XVI denies Jesus Christ by sending a message of good wishes to the entire Jewish Community for their non-Christian feasts of Rosh Ha-Shanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.  He then denies Christ again by using the antichrist Jewish calendar which dates things from the beginning of time instead of from the birth of Jesus Christ (AD).  All Christians use AD, Anno Domini, meaning “in the year of the Lord.”  Christians date things from the birth of Jesus Christ and would refer to this year as being the year 2010.  But since Benedict XVI is not a Christian, he uses the Jewish calendar system and declares that we are in the year 5771[2], not 2010 AD.  This is a clear denial of Jesus Christ, and it proves again that he is antichrist. 

 

He also praises the Jews by stating that these Christ-denying feasts “may bring an abundance of Blessings from the Eternal One and be a source of deep joy.”  He thus encourages them to celebrate the Jewish religion and the ceremonies of the Old Law, and he says that doing so brings blessings.  This is clear heresy!  The Church teaches that the ceremonies of the Old Law and the Jewish religion bring spiritual death and exclude people from salvation (Council of Florence).  For Benedict XVI, there is deep joy in knowing that these people deny Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith.  He then says that “I remember with sentiments of gratitude and affection my Visit to the ‘Temple Maggiore.’”  The Temple Maggiore is the “Great” Synagogue of Rome.[3]  Benedict XVI has gratitude and affection for the Jewish Synagogue!  What an apostate!

 

 Benedict XVI September 5, 2010 message to the Congress of Asian “Catholic” Laity:

 

“Asia, home to two-thirds of the world’s people, the cradle of great religions and spiritual traditions, and the birthplace of diverse cultures, is currently undergoing unprecedented processes of economic growth and social transformation.” [4]

 

According to Benedict XVI, it’s great that Asia is the cradle of various false religions and false spiritual traditions.

 

Benedict XVI September 13, 2010 address to the new Ambassador of Germany to “the Holy See”:

 

“In contemplating these martyrs it appears ever more clearly and as an example that on the basis of their Christian conviction some people are prepared to give their life for their faith, for the right to practice what they believe freely, for freedom of speech, for peace and human dignity.  Today, fortunately, we live in a free and democratic society.”[5]

 

Benedict XVI praises people because “on the basis of their Christian conviction,” they give their life in defense of everyone’s ability to have freedom of speech!

 

Benedict XVI August 22, 2010 Angelus Reflection:

 

“I greet all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors present at this Angelus prayer.  In a particular way I welcome a group of young Orthodox Christians from Galilee.[6]

 

According to Benedict XVI, the “Orthodox” are completely Christian even though they deny numerous defined teachings of the Christian Church.

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)
