Pope Benedict XIV vs. Francis On Converting The ‘Orthodox’


September 30, 2023

MHFM: In this encyclical Pope Benedict XIV referred to the great efforts popes made to convert Eastern schismatics.

Pope Benedict XIV, Allatae Sunt (#5), July 26, 1755: “Certainly, that man would have to be declared utterly inexperienced in ecclesiastical history who did not know of the mighty efforts of the Roman Pontiffs to bring the Orientals into unity since the fatal schism of Photius; he laid hold of the See of Constantinople when the lawful Patriarch St. Ignatius was forcefully ejected in the time of Pope St. Nicholas I [AD 858].”

The Vatican II antipopes of course do (and teach) exactly the opposite. Not only do they not tell the Eastern schismatics they need to convert, but they openly condemn efforts to convert them. Here’s just one example from Francis (out of many). Francis denies the Papacy and more in New Joint Declaration with Schismatic Kirill

Now I Can Become A True Catholic

Vatican II Is A New Religion (Visual Proof)

Such a well done, convincing video! Thanks so very much. I converted from the Episcopal Church (USA). At the time I left they had a woman Bishop, and notoriously permitted abortion (when necessary... when is THAT?) There were also other reasons. I knew I had done well leaving that church and joining the one true church. I had no idea the Vatican Sect was so polluted! Not until now. I am so thankful for these teachings. Now, finally, I have the opportunity to become a true Catholic! Thanks be to God! And thanks to all who made this instructive video and the others in this series also! Anne Eloise M.

Any Deviation From The Exact Truth Of The Faith Is Of The Devil


September 29, 2023

Any Deviation From The Exact Truth Of The Faith Is Of The Devil

St. Gregory of Nyssa, Against Eunomius, Book 2, Chap. 1: “In the Faith, then, which was delivered by God to the Apostles we admit neither subtraction, nor alteration, nor addition, knowing assuredly that he who presumes to pervert the Divine utterance by dishonest quibbling, the same is of his father the devil, who leaves the words of truth and speaks of his own, becoming the father of a lie. [John 8:44] For whatsoever is said otherwise than in exact accord with the truth is assuredly false and not true.”

Changes to the Nicene Creed (325 to 381)


September 28, 2023

… The Nicene creed says the spirit proceeds from the father.  Any addition to that [could be unlawful]...

Shane

MHFM

The Nicene Creed was modified (before the Filioque was added to it) at the Second Ecumenical Council – a council the Eastern 'Orthodox' claim to accept. It was modified (with additions and omissions) in 381 at the First Council of Constantinople. A series of statements about the Holy Spirit were added, including the very clause “who proceeds from the Father” (τὸ ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐκπορευόμενον). Some of the other changes made to the 325 Nicene Creed (at the 381 First Council of Constantinople) include:

- The words “of Heaven and of Earth” (οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς) were added.

- The words “before all the ages” (πρὸ πάντων τῶν αἰώνων) were added.

- The words “that is, from the essence of the Father” (τουτέστιν ἐκ τῆς ουσίας τοῦ πατρός) were omitted.

- The canon/anathema at the end of the Creed was omitted.

- The section on the Holy Spirit was enlarged from five words to twenty-eight words with these additions: “… the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets…”

- Statements about baptism, the forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection were added, including: “… one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.  Amen.

Even in the 381 expanded version of the Creed (known as the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed) the term homoousios (ὁμοούσιος – consubstantial) is not used in reference to the Holy Spirit, even though that is of course the true position.  The Creed does not explicitly call the Holy Spirit ‘God’.  Rather, it teaches the divinity of the Holy Spirit in other ways, by stating that He is ‘life-giving’, ‘co-worshipped and glorified’, etc.

First Council of Constantinople

With regard to the Council of Chalcedon’s statement that it is unlawful to “deliver a different symbol [creed]”, that was a disciplinary decree that sought to forbid other unapproved symbols from being used to convert people.  It did not stop later councils – including the very next council, the Second Council of Constantinople in 553 – from promulgating dogmatic canons that served as rules of faith that must be accepted by new converts and everyone else.

Council of Chalcedon, 5th session, 451: “These things, therefore, having been expressed by us with the greatest accuracy and attention, the holy Ecumenical Synod defines that no one shall be suffered to bring forward a different faith (heteran pistin), nor to write, nor to put together, nor to excogitate, nor to teach it to others.  But such as dare either to put together another faith, or to bring forward or to teach or to deliver a different creed (heteron sumbolon) to as wish to be converted to the knowledge of the truth, from the Gentiles, or Jews or any heresy whatever, if they be Bishops or clerics let them be deposed, the Bishops from the Episcopate, and the clerics from the clergy; but if they be monks or laics: let them be anathematized.”

The Church, through a pope (who wields the supreme authority over the Church from Christ), has the authority to add a true statement to the Creed for the defense of the faith or for further clarification of a point.  Hence, there’s no merit to the argument that the Church could not add the words ‘and the Son’ to the Creed for a defense and assertion of the true doctrine.  Thus, the Council of Florence under Pope Eugene IV correctly declared:

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, “Laetentur coeli”, July 6, 1439: “We define in addition that the explanation of those words ‘Filioque’ for the sake of declaring the truth and also because of imminent necessity has been lawfully and reasonably added to the Creed…”

The lawfulness of adding the Filioque to the Creed was acknowledged by representatives from all five Patriarchal sees at the Council of Florence, as well as by the Metropolitan of Russia and a large Greek delegation that included people who at one time had been opposed to the Filioque.  After the debates and presentations at Florence, they came to accept the Filioque and the lawfulness of its inclusion in the Creed.

It’s Monstrous To Think There’s A ‘Before’ Or ‘After’ In God


September 25, 2023

Started To Believe

I am 16 years old… I watched almost every video of yours many times over and very recently started to believe in traditional catholicism and that we are in the endtimes… I live… Slovenia… I also thank you for your works in spreading the truth and saving souls from vatican II, false churches, atheism and other false religions. God bless you…

It’s Monstrous To Think There’s A ‘Before’ Or ‘After’ In God

MHFM: This is an interesting quote from St. Gregory of Nyssa, in which he condemns the notion that any ‘before’ or ‘after’ exists in God. He considers the position that God has a beginning to be ‘monstrous’. The same truth is of course repeated by many fathers. Nevertheless, his statement is worth noting because many Eastern ‘Orthodox’ actually hold (the monstrous heresy) that in God there are certain ‘uncreated energies’ that have a beginning.

St. Gregory of Nyssa, Against Eunomius, Book 1, Chap. 26: “The Divine nature is a stranger to these special marks in the creation: It leaves beneath itself the sections of time, the 'before' and the 'after,' and the ideas of space: in fact 'higher' cannot properly be said of it at all. Every conception about that uncreated Power is a sublime principle, and involves the idea of what is proper in the highest degree.… the everlastingness of the Son is included, along with the idea of His [eternal] birth, in the Father’s ungeneracy; and that, if any interval were to be imagined dividing the two, that same interval would fix a beginning for the life of the Almighty; a monstrous supposition.”
