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

Benedict XVI�s Recent Heresies with the �Orthodox� and
other amazing heresies
Benedict XVI�s November 15, 2009 Message of condolence to �Orthodox
Archbishop� Amfilohije on the news of the death of
Serbian �Orthodox� Patriarch Pavle who died recently
at age 95: ��To His Eminence Amfilohije
Archbishop of Cetinje Metropolitan of Montenegro
Locum Terens of the Patriarchal Throne Holy Synod of
the Serbian Orthodox Church - I received the sorrowful news that the Lord has called to himself His Holiness
Pavle, Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church.� I would like to offer you, to the Holy Synod
and to all the Members of the Church my profound condolences, assuring you of my union in prayer with all
who are mourning their Father and Pastor.�
In his long life at the service of the Gospel, the Late Patriarch bore a
witness of faith and spiritual fortitude also in particularly difficult
moments, marked by conflicts and wars� May
the sorrow at Patriarch Pavle�s passing be
transformed into sure hope in his �birth in Heaven�, and may his memory
continue to inspire vigorous spiritual growth in the people he served with
dedication and generosity.�[1]
Benedict XVI states that the Lord Jesus called this
schismatic leader to Heaven, and that he (Benedict XVI) is in a union of prayer
with the members of the schismatic �Orthodox� Church.� Benedict XVI declares the deceased schismatic
leader to be a �Father and Pastor� of the true Church of Jesus Christ.� He declares that the schismatic had a �long
life at the service of the Gospel� and was a �witness of faith.�� He then declares that we should have sure
hope that this lifelong schismatic leader went immediately to Heaven.� He then states that the memory of the
schismatic should �continue to inspire vigorous spiritual growth.�

December 4, 2009 Speech of Benedict XVI to �His Beatitude� Anastasios �Archbishop� of Tirana, Albania and other
representatives of the �Orthodox� Church of Albania. �Your Beatitude, �Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ� (2 Thess 1:2)� I am pleased to extend a fraternal welcome to
Your Beatitude and to the other distinguished representatives of the
Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Albania accompanying you today� During the
latter half of the past century, the Christians in Albania, both Orthodox and Catholic, kept the faith alive
there in spite of an extremely repressive and hostile atheistic regime; and, as
is well known, many Christians paid
cruelly for that faith with their lives.�
The fall of that regime has happily given way to the reconstruction of
the Catholic and Orthodox communities in Albania.� The missionary activity of Your Beatitude is
recognized, particularly in the reconstruction of places and worship, the
formation of the clergy and the catechetical work now being done, a
movement of renewal which Your Beatitude has rightly described as Ngjallja (Resurrection)� These are timely efforts to
promote mutual understanding and tangible cooperation, not only between
Catholics and Orthodox, but also among Christians, Muslims and Bektashi.� I rejoice
with Your Beatitude and with all the Albania people in this spiritual renewal�[2]
Benedict XVI states that the Orthodox �kept the faith
alive.�� So, to be promoting heresy and
schism is �keeping the faith alive.��
He�s also happy that the �Orthodox� faith is being reconstructed in
Albania.� Benedict XVI praises the schismatic
missionary activity, including building schismatic churches, training
schismatic clergy and promoting heresies and schism.
December 17, 2009 Address to New Ambassador of Finland: �I am pleased to note the increasing cooperation and dialogue between
the different Christian communities in Finland.�
I thank Your Excellency for the greetings that you bring from the Lutheran and Orthodox Archbishops,
and I ask you kindly to reciprocate.�
These signs of growing fraternity among the followers of Christ argue
well for the development of mutual understanding and respect between newly arrived immigrants of various religions and their Finnish hosts..�[3]�
He states that the Lutherans and �Orthodox� have
archbishops.� The Catholic Church teaches
that Lutherans do not have valid priests or bishops.� To call people �archbishops� is to indicate
that they are jurisdictional bishops of the one true Church of Jesus Christ.
December 21, 2009 Address to members of the Roman Curia and Papal
Representatives in the Vatican: �My visit to Yad Vashem represented an
overwhelming encounter with the cruelty of human sin, with the hatred of a
blind ideology which, with no justification, consigned millions of human beings to death and thereby, in the end, even wished to eliminate God from the world, the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, and the God of Jesus Christ.�[4]�
He states here that to kill a Jew is to kill God
Himself.� What a blasphemy!
December 17, 2009 Address to New Ambassador of Sudan: �Public authorities need to ensure that the fundamental human right of religious freedom be truly enjoyed by
people of all faiths� Both Muslim and Christian parents share the same
affection and concern for their children and their welfare, especially
regarding their religious upbringing.� [5]
December 17, 2009 Address to New Ambassador to Denmark: �Concerning this it is not only the duty of the various religions to
emphasize and defend the primacy of the human being and of the human spirit but
also of the State.� The State is
duty-bound to do so mainly through an ambitious policy that provides for all
citizens � equal � access to spiritual
goods.� In fact, these spiritual
goods enhance the riches of the social bond and encourage the human being to
pursue his spiritual quest.� Last Spring,
during my� Apostolic
Visit to the different countries of the Middle East, I suggested on various
occasions that religion in general be considered as a �new starting point� for
peace.� It is true that throughout
history religions have often caused conflict.�
But it is also true that
religions which lived according to their profound essence were and are an
effective factor for reconciliation and peace.� At this historical time religions too, through open and sincere dialogue, must seek the way
to purification so as to correspond ever
better to their true vocation� The peaceful coexistence of the different
religious traditions in each nation is sometimes difficult.� Rather than a political problem, this
coexistence is also a problem that arises within these traditions
themselves.� Each believer is called to
question God about his will for every human situation.� In recognizing God as the one Creator of the
human being � of every human being, regardless
of his or her religious denomination, social condition or political opinion
� each person will respect the other in
his oneness and in his difference.� Before God there is no category or
hierarchy of the human person, inferior or superior, dominating or
protected.� For him there is only the
human being whom he created through love and whom he wants to see living in his
family and in society, in brotherly harmony.�
The discovery of God�s wise plan for the human being leads to
recognition of his love.� For the
believer or person of good will, the resolution of human conflicts, such as the
delicate coexistence of the different religions can be transformed into human
coexistence in an order full of goodness and wisdom whose origins and dynamism
are in God.� This coexistence with
respect for the nature of things and their inherent wisdom that comes from God� - the tranquillitas ordinis� - is called peace.� Interreligious dialogue makes its own
specific contribution to this slow genesis that resists immediate human,
political or economic interests.� It is
sometimes difficult for the political and economic world to give the human
being priority; to consider and to admit
the importance and need of the religious factor and to guarantee religion its
true nature and place in the public dimension is an even more sensitive
task.� Peace, so longed for, will only be
born from the joint action of the individual, who discovers his true nature in
God, and of the leaders of civil and religious societies who � with respect for the dignity and faith of each one � will be able to
recognize and give to religion its noble and authentic role of fulfilling and
perfecting the human person.� Here it is
a matter of a global recomposition, both temporal and
spiritual, that will permit a new start on the path towards the peace that God
wishes to be universal.�[6]
Benedict XVI utters the outrageous heresy that all
�religions� on planet Earth (which includes Satanism) �are an effective factor
for reconciliation and peace.�� Benedict
states that all �religions� have a true vocation from God!� He then says we should respect differences in
religious belief regardless of what a person�s religion might be!� He says that, in God�s eyes, no one is
superior or inferior.� He closes off his
diabolical address by repeating that we need to respect the false religion of
everyone.� This is apostasy; the entire
speech is an expression of general religious indifferentism.�

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)
