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 promotes a new international order and utters more heresy

 

Benedict XVI, Address to Spanish Ambassador, October 27, 2007: �It is therefore necessary and urgent to work for the construction of an internal and international order... [1]

 

Here Benedict XVI promotes a new international order or a new world order.

 

Benedict XVI, Message to the world�s Bishops, priests and faithful, August 10, 2007: �I would like to recall the solemn gesture with which my most beloved Predecessor, the Servant of God John Paul II, presented important relics of Sts. John Chrysostom and Gregory of Nazianzus to the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in November 2004.The Pontiff noted how that gesture was for the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches a truly �blessed occasion to purify our wounded memories in order to strengthen our journey of reconciliation.��[2]

 

To give relics of Catholic saints to heretics and schismatics is to be a heretic and a schismatic.

 

Benedict XVI, Discourse to the heads Address to Ukrainian Bishops, September 24, 2007: �The Church... subsists in the Catholic Church... [3]

 

This is heresy. The Catholic Church is the Church of the Christ.

 

Benedict XVI, Address to Indonesia Ambassador, November 12, 2007: �Indonesia, as a multireligious country with the largest Muslim population of any nation in the world, plays an important and positive role in promoting interreligious cooperation, both within its borders and in the international community.Dialogue, respect for the convictions of others and collaboration in the service of peace are the surest means of securing social concord.These are among the noblest goals which can bring together men and women of good will, and in a particular way, all those who worship the one God...�[4]

 

Benedict XVI praises Islam, as if it contributes good to the world, and then states that we should �respect the convictions of others.�We should always respect evil and false religious beliefs, according to Benedict XVI.This is utter heresy.

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)
