Benedict XVI's at the Lutheran Church in Rome 2010

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.

On March 14, 2010, Benedict XVI gave a homily from the pulpit of Rome�s Lutheran Church to Lutheran �Pastor� Kruse and the Evangelical Lutheran Community: �Dear Brothers and Sisters, I would like to offer my warm thanks to the whole Community, your leaders, and in particular to Pastor Kruse, for having invited me to celebrate this Laetare Sunday with you� Dear Pastor Kruse, you have interpreted St. Paul�s Message of hope for us� It is wonderful that today, Laetare Sunday, we can pray together, sing the same hymns, listen to the same word of God, explain it and seek to understand it together; that we look to the one Christ whom we see and to whom we wish to belong and that, in this manner, we are already witnessing that he is the one, the One who has called us all and to whom, in the deepest way possible, we all belong� Dear friends, once again I would like to thank you for extending this invitation to me, for the cordiality with which you have welcomed me, and also for your words, kind Ms. Esch.� Let us give thanks for having been able to pray and sing together.�[1]

Benedict XVI calls the heretical minister a �pastor.�� Therefore, heretical non-Catholic ministers are true pastors, according to Benedict XVI.� Benedict XVI states that he prays with Lutheran heretics and schismatics.� This has always been condemned throughout the entire history of the Catholic Church as a mortal sin and an expression of heresy.�

Pope Pius IX, Neminem vestrum (# 5), Feb. 2, 1854: �We want you to know that those same monks sent Us a splendid profession of Catholic faith and doctrine� They eloquently acknowledged and freely received the regulations and decrees which the popes and the sacred congregations published or would publish � especially those which prohibit communicatio in divinis (communion in holy matters) with schismatics� They acknowledge that they condemn the error of the schismatic Armenians and recognize that they are outside of the Church of Jesus Christ.�

Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos (# 10), Jan. 6, 1928: �� this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics��

Participating in non Catholic ceremonies was also always condemned as a mortal sin.� So, Benedict XVI encourages people to commit mortal sin.� Benedict XVI also states that Lutherans and Catholics belong, in the deepest way possible, to Jesus Christ.� So, according to Benedict XVI, even if a person decided to convert to the Catholic Church, it would in no way deepen his or her relationship with Jesus.� No, according to the apostate Benedict XVI, since they are Lutherans they all belong in the deepest way possible to Jesus.� This is blatant heresy.� An interesting side-note to Benedict XVI�s latest heretical speech is how L�Osservatore Romano [the Vatican�s official newspaper] introduces Benedict XVI�s speech to the Lutherans.� It states:

�After hearing the [Lutheran] Pastor�s homily, the Holy Father preached on John 12:20-26.� This was not Benedict XVI�s first Visit to the Lutheran Church for as the Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith he took part in an ecumenical debate there on 19 October 1998.� The invitation to the Pope was prompted by the desire to celebrate the 25^th anniversary of Pope John Paul II�s December 11, 1983 [visit] in honor of the fifth centenary [five hundred year anniversary] of Martin Luther�s birth.� The following is a translation of the Pope�s Homily, which was given extemporaneously in German.�

That means that years ago Benedict XVI attended this Lutheran church to celebrate the 25^th anniversary of John Paul II�s 1983 visit to the same Lutheran Church.� And John Paul II�s visit of December 11, 1983 was to celebrate the five-hundredth anniversary of Martin Luther�s birth in 1483.� This shows that both John Paul II and Benedict XVI believe the most evil heretics in the history of the world should be celebrated.�

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)
