The religion of today’s Vatican is of the Devil! We know
this again and again when we consider that they have abandoned the word “heresy”
and so admit everything except Catholicism!
Within Novus Ordo religion, only things Catholic are
called “heresy” or “radical” or “neo- or “crypto-leferbvrian”.
We have to again note that heresy is a denial of a
defined article of faith by a validly baptized person and once heresy is pronounced,
the person seizes to be a Catholic!
This is the one reason the Novus Ordo anti popes are
not Catholics neither are they popes!
The blog, Introibo Ad Altare Dei has
again x-rayed the nature and application of heresy for all to see and also to
debunk the claim that we cannot use heresy in today's free world!
Recently, I had a discussion with my best
friend. He is a great husband and father, a loyal friend, and super-smart. We
came to the subject of religion, and I reminded him that I never have anything
to do with the prayers and ceremonies of heretics or apostates. He told me that
I should stop using words like "heresy" and "apostasy"
because "they are only used by extremists like ISIS." I pointed out
that members of ISIS are not the only ones who use those terms, and he was committing
the "genetic fallacy" in logic, i.e., "where a conclusion
is suggested based solely on someone's or something's history, origin, or
source rather than its current meaning or context." The fact that some
people who do bad things use those terms do not make the terms themselves bad.
If Stalin said 2 + 2= 4, it doesn't become wrong or "bad" because an
evil person stated it.
The word "heresy" is never spoken in the Vatican II sect
(except in rare circumstances in reference to Traditionalists). What you
believe (as long as it's not the Truth) doesn't matter for them. After 52 years
of Vatican II's influence, it doesn't matter to much of the world either. It
was a stroke of genius for the sect to make the term "heresy" seem
bad, impolite, and insulting--much in the same way racial epithets (rightfully)
are treated. However, a dispassionate look will reveal that these terms are
statements of fact. Furthermore, heresy is a sin against the faith, making it
one of the worst sins; and a sin that can cause a cleric (even the pope) to
fall from office. In this post I will outline what heresy is and how its
effects got us to sedevacantism.
What is Heresy?
Heresy is defined as "A teaching which is
directly contradictory to a truth revealed by God and proposed to the faithful
as such by the Church." (See theologian Parente, Dictionary of
Dogmatic Theology, Bruce Publishing Company, [1951], pg. 123).
All humanity outside the Church can be divided into
five (5) broad categories in relation to the Church:
1. Infidels. These are humans who have
never been baptized. The very name "infidel" comes from the Latin
"not of the Faith." To not be of the faith means never to have been
validly baptized. Under this heading belong the heathens, Jews, Mohammedans,
those who profess to be Christian but don't have valid baptism, and unbaptized
atheists, agnostics, and deists.
2. Schismatics. Schismatics preserve their
faith in revealed Truth, but refuse obedience to the pope, or reject communion
with the Catholic faithful. In the strict sense, schismatics don't sin against
the faith, but against obedience and charity. They are subdivided into (a) pure
schism and (b) mixed schism. Pure schism is very rare today. Mixed schism
applies to the Eastern sects and the so-called Old Catholic sect, because they
deny one or more truths of divine and Catholic faith (e.g., the divine origin
and primacy of the papacy, the Immaculate Conception, etc.) Practically
speaking they are heretics today, precisely because of their denial of one or
more truths of faith.
3. Apostates. These are those, whom having
had valid Baptism in the True Church, completely abandon the faith to become
Jews , Mohammedans, or abandon faith for atheism/agnosticism. They reject
ALL of the Church, not just obedience due to Her (pure schism), or one (some)
dogmas (heretics).
4. Formal Heretics. These are former
Catholics who have denied one or more truths of divine and Catholic
faith. A truth is "divine" when it is contained in the deposit of
Revelation ending with the death of the last Apostle (St. John) in the year 100
AD. It is "Catholic" when proposed for belief to the faithful by the
Magisterium (either extraordinarily through definition ex cathedra by a pope or
Ecumenical Council approved by the pope; or from the teaching of the Universal
and Ordinary Magisterium as explained by the First Vatican Council in
1870).
5. Material Heretics. These are validly
baptized people who were brought up in a non-Catholic sect (prior to the age of
reason they were Catholic, but are not considered formal heretics since they
never made the conscious choice to deny a dogma when they started being raised
in the non-Catholic sect), or converted directly as an adult to a non-Catholic
sect from e.g., Judaism, etc. Material heretics must be in good faith to be truly
classified as such, but they are outside the Church, nevertheless.
All of the above classes of people are outside the
Church. Technically, there are material and formal pure schismatics too. Heresy
is both a sin and a "delict" (crime in Canon Law).
Since the pope is above Canon Law, the crime of heresy does not
apply. However, it is the sin of heresy that causes the loss of
office by divine law. Heresy is a sin that places one outside the Church. You
deny both the divine origin of a revealed truth and the infallibility of the
Magisterium that proposed it. (All the above, except where noted, was
condensed from theologian MacKenzie, The Delict of Heresy in its
Commission, Penalization, Absolution, CUA Press, [1932], pgs. 15-18).
Theologian Berry nicely summarizes, "Manifest heretics and schismatics are
excluded from membership in the Church. Heretics separate themselves from the
unity of faith and worship; schismatics from the unity of government, and both
reject the authority of the Church. So far as exclusion from the Church is
concerned, it matters not whether the heresy or schism be formal or material.
Those born and reared in heresy or schism may be sincere in their belief and
practice yet they publicly and willingly reject the Church and attach
themselves to sects opposed to her. They are not guilty of sin in the matter,
but they are not members of the Church. For this reason, the Church
makes no distinction between formal and material heresy when receiving converts
into her fold." (See Rev. E. Sylvester Berry, The Church of Christ [St.
Louis, MO: B. Herder Book Co., 1927], p. 226; Emphasis added.)
Heresy and Loss of Papal Office
The great saint, theologian, and Doctor of the
Church Robert Bellarmine teaches, "A pope who is a manifest heretic
automatically ceases to be pope and head of the Church, just as he ceases to be
a Christian and a member of the Church. Wherefore, he can be judged and
punished by the Church [precisely because he is no longer the pope!---Introibo] All
the early Fathers are unanimous in teaching that manifest heretics immediately
lose all jurisdiction. St. Cyprian, in particular, laid great stress on this
point." (See De Romano Pontifice, II:30)
According to Doctor of the Church St.
Alphonsus Liguori, "If ever a pope, as a private person, should fall into
heresy, he would at once fall from the pontificate." (See Verita
della Fede, Pt. III, Ch. VIII, 9-10).
How is heresy made manifest? According to theologian MacKenzie, "Words are
the ordinary, but not the only means of communication. Complete externalization
of thought may exist in signs, acts, or omissions." (Delict, pg.35) Let's
break it down:
(a) Words. A dogma may be denied by a contradictory or contrary
statement. For example, it is a dogma that "The Roman Catholic Church is
the One True Church, outside of which there is no salvation." The
contradictory statement negates it--"The Roman Catholic Church is NOT the
One True Church, outside of which there is no salvation." A contrary
statement is not a direct negation, but it goes against the dogma. Hence,
Vatican II was heretical when it stated in Unitatis Redintegratio, para.#3
that Christ uses non-Catholic sects as a "means of salvation." It is
heretical because if you can obtain salvation by being a Lutheran, then there
is salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church.
(b) Acts. Think of "Saint" John Paul II kissing the Koran
which denies the Trinity and Divinity of Christ. Remember Bergoglio
("Pope" Francis) celebrating Hanukkah with the Jews in 2012 when
still a "cardinal."
(c) Omissions. Think of Bergoglio hiding his crucifix from the Jews
and failing to try and convert them.
Heretics are incapable of keeping or attaining to papal office. In the case of
one validly elected pope, should he fall into heresy as a private theologian,
he falls from office. In the case of a manifest heretic prior to
"election," he fails to attain the office. According to theologian
Baldii, "Barred as incapable of being validly elected [pope] are the
following: women, children who have not reached the age of reason, those
suffering from habitual insanity, the unbaptized, heretics and
schismatics..." (See Institutiones Iuris Canonici [1921]; Emphasis
mine).
What if the pope doesn't realize what he's saying is
heresy, or if people take it the wrong way? Does that exempt him from loss of
office? Contrary to the Society of St Pius X (SSPX), Siscoe and Salza, and the
rest of the "recognize and resist" (R&R) crowd; the answer is a
resounding "NO."
The Divine Law demands that the pope must, in the
external forum (publicly), demonstrate that he knows and believes in the truths
of the Catholic Faith. It is not required that he must have internal knowledge
or intention to be heretical. If he denies even one dogma, he must be
considered non-Catholic and a non-member of the Church, who can no longer be
the head of the Church to which he does not belong. Again, according to
MacKenzie, "The very commission of any act which signifies heresy...gives
sufficient ground for juridical presumption of heretical depravity...Excusing
circumstances have to be proven in the external forum, and the burden of
proof is on the person whose action gave rise to the imputation of heresy. In
the absence of such proof, all such excuses are presumed not to exist."
(See Delict, pg. 35--Emphasis mine).
Hence, heresy has placed us in a state of
sedevacantism and the world is in a situation of near universal apostasy.
The Campaign To Make Non-Heretics Look Bad
The reason "heresy" and
"apostasy" are now equated with ISIS and evil is because of the
relativism of the false ecclesiology of Vatican II, which makes anyone who
believes in absolute truths look "extremist," "uncharitable,"
and even "evil." Vatican II teaches that the "Church of
Christ" is not the same as the Roman Catholic Church. It
"subsists" there in its fullness because it has all the
"elements" of the Church of Christ. However, it subsists elsewhere,
in greater or lesser degrees, depending on how many elements the sect
possesses. To have all elements is best, but to have just some is good too, and
leads to salvation. Heresy implies that there is absolute truth that only
one Church has (the Traditional Roman Catholic Church), and that if you deny
even one truth of divine and Catholic Faith, you are outside the True Church
and heading for Hell. The old and new ecclesiology are mutually exclusive, so
the heretics set out to make the word "heresy" unfit for polite
company and "rehabilitate" themselves.
One only need to look at the True Mass vs. the Novus
Bogus. Remember, "lex orandi, lex credendi" "the law of praying
is the law of believing."
The traditional Prayer for Heretics and
Schismatics on Good Friday reads: "Let us pray also for heretics and
schismatics:that our Lord God would be pleased to rescue them from all their
errors; and recall them to our holy mother the Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Almighty and everlasting God, who savest all, and wouldst that no one should perish:
look on the souls that are led astray by the deceit of the devil: that having
set aside all heretical evil, the hearts of those that err may repent, and
return to the unity of Thy truth. Through our Lord. Amen."
In the Vatican II sect it has been replaced by the Prayer
for Christian Unity which reads--my commentary in red : Let us
pray also for all our brothers and sisters who believe in Christ, that our God
and Lord may be pleased, as they live the truth [what truth? The partial
elements of truth that exist outside the One True Church?], to gather them
together and keep them in his one Church["keep" them in his [sic]
Church? Don't they need to convert first?]. Almighty ever-living God, who
gather what is scattered and keep together what you have gathered, look kindly
on the flock of your Son,[ambiguous; is the flock referring to Catholics or
Catholics and "those who believe in Christ"?] that those whom
one Baptism has consecrated may be joined together by integrity of faith and
united in the bond of charity [is this the same as recalling them to the
Catholic and Apostolic Church?]. Through Christ our Lord. Amen."
Gone are the words and phrases: "errors,"
"deceit of the devil," "heretical evil," "err,"
"repent," and, of course, "heretics" and "schismatics."
You will NEVER hear a Vatican II cleric speak of heresy, unless he is
condemning those who use the word! Real charity consists in keeping the truth
and calling to repentance those who are heretics, so they may once again
believe and be saved. For those of us who know there is absolute truth in
faith and morals, "heresy" is not a bad word; it's relativism and
indifferentism that are evil beyond words.
