Benedict XVI’s New Heresies Promoting Judaism

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�s New Heresies Promoting Judaism

Benedict XVI�s May 16, 2012 Address to the Latin American Jewish Congress at the Vatican:

�Dear Jewish friends,

I am very pleased to welcome this delegation of the Latin American Jewish Congress.� Our meeting is a particularly significant one, since you are the first group representing Jewish organizations and communities in Latin America which I have met here in the Vatican.� Throughout Latin America there are vibrant Jewish communities, especially in Argentina and Brazil, which live side by side with a great majority of Catholics.� In the years since the Second Vatican Council, relations between Jews and Catholics have been strengthened also in your region, and various initiatives continue to deepen our mutual friendship.� As you know, this October marks the 50^th anniversary of the beginning of the Second Vatican Council, whose Declaration Nostra Aetate remains the charter and guide in our efforts to promote greater understanding, respect and cooperation between our two communities.� The Declaration not only took up an unambiguous position against every form of anti-Semitism; it also laid the groundwork for a theological reassessment of the Church�s relationship with Judaism and it expressed confidence that an appreciation of the spiritual heritage shared by Jews and Christians would lead to ever greater mutual understanding and esteem.

As we consider the progress which has been made over the past fifty years in Jewish-Catholic relations throughout the world, we can only give thanks to the Almighty for this evident sign of his goodness and providence.� With the growth of trust, respect and good will, groups which initially approached one another with some hesitation have step by step become reliable partners and even good friends, capable of coping with crises together and overcoming conflicts positively.� Certainly, much remains to be done in overcoming the burdens of the past, fostering better relations between our two communities, and meeting the challenges which believers increasingly face in today�s world.� Yet it is cause for thanksgiving that we are committed to walking together the path of dialogue, reconciliation and cooperation.�

Dear friends, in a world which is increasingly threatened by the loss of the spiritual and moral values which alone can guarantee respect for human dignity and lasting peace, a sincere and respectful dialogue between religions and cultures is crucial for the future of our human family.� It is my hope that our visit today will be a source of encouragement and renewed hope in taking up the challenge of building ever stronger bonds of friendship and cooperation, and in bearing prophetic witness to the power of God�s truth, justice and reconciling love, for the welfare of all mankind.�

With these sentiments, dear friends, I ask the Thrice-Holy to bless you and your families with every spiritual gift and to guide your steps in the way of peace.� Shalom aleikhem�[1]

Benedict XVI starts off his heretical speech by telling Christ-rejecting Jews that their communities are �vibrant.�� The word vibrant means �full of life.�� Jesus Christ is the Life � the Life whom Jews reject.� Benedict XVI teaches the exact opposite of the truth.� He then says that we should have an appreciation for Judaism�s spiritual heritage, which involves rejecting Jesus.� He says an appreciation of this history will cause Catholics to have a greater esteem for Jews.� Benedict XVI goes on to say that the leaders of a religion that totally rejects Jesus Christ are �good friends� and �reliable partners.�� Benedict XVI then complains about how the world has lost moral and spiritual values, and that Jews can help solve these problems.� Benedict XVI then states that Christ-denying Jews can bear �prophetic witness to the power of God�s truth, justice and reconciling love, for the welfare of all mankind.�� Benedict XVI also states that Jews �witness to the power of God�s truth.�� No, Jesus Christ is the Truth, and the Jews reject Him.� Consider the blasphemy against the Lord Jesus Christ, the Almighty God, that is entailed in Benedict XVI�s statement.� If you accept Benedict XVI as a Catholic, then you can expect to spend eternity in the fires of Hell with him.

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)
