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.

Benedict XVI, Discourse to the heads of World Religions at the Interreligious Meeting for Peace in Naples, Italy, October 21, 2007: �Your Holinesses, Your Beatitudes, Distinguished Authorities representing the Churches and Ecclesial Communities, Eminent Spokepersons of the great World Religions, I gladly take this opportunity to greet the Personalities who have gathered here in Naples for the 21st Meeting on the theme: �For a world without violence � Religions and cultures in dialogue�.In a certain sense, what you represent expresses the different worlds and religious patrimonies of humanity to which the Catholic Church looks with sincere respect and cordial attention.A word of appreciation goes to Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe and the Archdiocese of Naples, which is hosting this meeting, as well as to the Saint� Egidio Community which works with dedication to encourage dialogue between religions and cultures in the �spirit of Assisi�.Today�s meeting takes us back in spirit to 1986, when my venerable Predecessor John Paul II invited important Religious Representatives to the hills of St. Francis to pray for peace

���� �In 2002, after the dramatic events of 11 September the previous year, John Paul II himself once again summoned Religious Leaders to Assisi to ask God to halt the serious threats that were looming over humanity, due especially to terrorism.While respecting the differences of the various religions, we are all called to work for peace and to be effectively committed to furthering reconciliation among peoples.This is the true �spirit of Assisi��

���� ��Religions can and must offer precious resources to build a peaceful humanity because they speak of peace to the human heart.The Catholic Church intends to continue on the path of dialogue in order to encourage understanding between the different cultures, traditions and forms of religious wisdom.I warmly hope that this spirit will be spread increasingly

���� �Dear friends, may these days of work and listening be fruitful for all.I address my prayers to Eternal God for this, so that he may pour out upon each one of the participants in the meeting an abundance of his Blessings, wisdom and love.�[1]

 

First, Benedict XVI addresses the leaders of false religions as �Your Holinesses, Your Beatitudes, Distinguished Authorities representing the Churches and Ecclesial Communities, Eminent Spokepersons of the great World Religions�- heresy.Second, referring to false religions, he says: �what you represent expresses the different worlds and religious patrimonies of humanity to which the Catholic Church looks with sincere respect and cordial attention� - heresy.Benedict XVI says that the Catholic Church looks at false religions of the Devil with �sincere respect and cordial attention�!Third, he says �Today�s meeting takes us back in spirit to 1986, when my venerable Predecessor John Paul II invited important Religious Representatives to the hills of St. Francis to pray for peace.�Benedict XVI praises John Paul II�s apostate interreligious prayer meeting in Assisi.He therefore promotes apostasy.

 

Fourth, he says �John Paul II himself once again summoned Religious Leaders to Assisi to ask God to halt the serious threats that were looming over humanity� � heresy.Benedict XVI believes that the prayers of members of false religions are pleasing to God and have the power to �halt the serious threats that were looming over humanity.�Fifth, he says �while respecting the differences of the various religions, we are all called to work for peace� � heresy.He believes that people should �respect the differences� between different religions.This is utter heresy.Sixth, he says that false religions offer �precious resources� and �build a peaceful humanity.�He then ends his speech by stating that false religions are �forms of religious wisdom.�This is total apostasy.This week, once again, Benedict XVI serves up another plateful of apostasy.

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)
