Benedict XVI say St. Paul's desire was not to baptize all peoples

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 states again that St. Paul�s desire was not so much to baptize all peoples and that we should have respect for different false religions

Benedict XVI, answering questions during a meeting with the Clergy of Rome, February 7, 2008:� [Benedict XVI�s answer to a question from a �priest�] �Let us think of the great figure of Mahatma Gandhi: although he remained firmly bound to his own religion... Let us think of St. Paul... His desire was not so much to baptize all peoples as rather that the Gospel, hence, the fulfillment of history as such, be present in the world... �[1]

[Question for Benedict XVI from �Fr� Umberto Fanfarillo] �Holy Father, I am a Conventual Franciscan and parish priest of Saint Dorotea in Trastevere.� Together with the Christian community in the parish, I am eager to point out a conspicuous if not deeply rooted presence of other religious contexts.� We encounter them daily with reciprocal esteem, knowledge and respectful coexistence.� I can list in this substantial positiveness of intentions the commitment of the Academia dei Lincei, of the John Cabot American University, with more than 800 students from about 60 countries and with religious backgrounds that range from Catholic to Muslim.� It is precisely these young people who, on the death of John Paul II, gathered in prayer in our Church... We find a similar situation and respectful encounters among the different religions contained in Regina Coeli Prison, again in the parish territory.� Holy Father, we are all seeking new and more balanced attitudes of knowledge and respect.� We have always appreciated your talks, filled with respect and dialogue, in the quest for the truth.� Please help us again with your words.�

[Benedict XVI�s response to this question] �Thank you for your testimony of a truly multidimensional and multicultural parish.� It seems to me that you have somewhat concretized what was discussed earlier with our Indian brother: the whole picture that consists of dialogue, respectful co-existence, respect for one another, acceptance of one another as they are in their otherness, in their communion... through respect for our differences...�[2]

Just a few weeks ago the Heresy of the Week was Benedict XVI stating that St. Paul was not concerned about baptizing people.� Benedict XVI stated in his Address to Cardinals, December 21, 2007:

�� St. Paul travelled tirelessly, taking the Gospel with him.� He even felt under a sort of �compulsion� to proclaim the Gospel (cf. I Cor 9:16) � not so much out of concern for the salvation of the single non-baptized person who had not yet been reached by the Gospel, but rather because he was aware that history as a whole could not attain fulfillment until the Gospel had reached the full number of Gentiles.�

Well, he utters the same heresy again by saying: �Let us think of St. Paul... His desire was not so much to baptize all peoples.�� I guess Benedict XVI is really trying to stress that St. Paul was not concerned about baptizing people.� We know that St. Paul said that he came to preach the Gospel, but Benedict XVI is trying to give the heretical impression that St. Paul did not believe that men need baptism for salvation.�� Benedict XVI then goes on to state that we should respect members of different false religions �in their communion� and in �their otherness� and that we should �respect our differences.�� This is to say that we should respect people who are in false religions which lead them to everlasting 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)
