Benedict XVI’s Revealing Heresy On The Sabbath
It’s remarkable how many people (as a result of willful ignorance and bad will) remain blind to the apostasy of Antipope Benedict XVI. Benedict XVI’s statement below to Jews is a particularly revealing example of how he routinely taught destructive heresies and religious indifferentism.
Benedict XVI, Address during meeting in France with representatives of the Jewish Community, September 12, 2008: “Dear friends, it is with great pleasure that I meet with you this evening. Our meeting auspiciously coincides with the vigil of the weekly celebration of the Shabbat [the Sabbath], the day which from time immemorial has occupied a significant position in the religious and cultural life of the people of Israel. Every pious Jew sanctifies the Shabbat [the Sabbath] with the reading of the Scriptures and the reciting of the Psalms… Does not the Talmud Yoma (85b) say: the Sabbath is offered to you, but you are not offered to the Sabbath?... we share a relationship that should be strengthened and lived. And we know that these fraternal bonds constitute a continual invitation to know and to respect one another better. By her very nature the Catholic Church feels obliged to respect the Covenant made by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, the Church herself is situated within the eternal Covenant of the Almighty, whose plans are immutable, and she respects the children of the Promise, the children of the Covenant, as her beloved brothers and sisters in the faith… I cannot neglect, on an occasion such as this, to recall the eminent role played by the Jews of France in the building up of the whole nation and of their prestigious contribution to her spiritual patrimony. They have given – and continue to give – great figures to the spheres of politics, culture and the arts. To each one of them I extend affectionate and respectful wishes and with fervor I invoke upon all of your families and upon all your communities a special Blessing of the Lord of time and history. Shabbat shalom!”
Focus in particular on this statement: “Every pious Jew sanctifies the Shabbat [the Sabbath] with the reading of the Scriptures and the reciting of the Psalms.” Benedict XVI teaches that those who observe the Jewish Sabbath “sanctify” it. Well, the Church dogmatically teaches the opposite. It teaches that after the coming of Christ and the replacement of the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, no one can observe the Jewish Sabbath (or other practices of the Jewish religion) without mortal sin and the loss of salvation. So, the Church specifically teaches that by observing the Jewish Sabbath they sin mortally and profane the day. Benedict XVI, however, teaches the opposite: that they sanctify it. He was a manifest heretic who denied Jesus Christ. In his speech, Benedict XVI also teaches that the Jews are still the People of the Covenant. That’s heresy, blasphemy, and another manifestation of his rejection of the necessity of Jesus Christ for salvation. He was a total apostate who taught religious indifferentism on a regular basis.
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Cantate Domino, 1441, ex cathedra: “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and teaches that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament, of the Mosaic Law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites, sacrifices, and sacraments, because they were established to signify something in the future, although they were suited to divine worship at that time, after our Lord’s coming had been signified by them, ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began; and that whoever, even after the passion, placed hope in these matters of the law and submitted himself to them as necessary for salvation, as if faith in Christ could not save without them, sinned mortally. Yet it does not deny that after the passion of Christ up to the promulgation of the Gospel they could have been observed, provided they were believed to be in no way necessary for salvation; but after the promulgation of the Gospel it asserts that they cannot be observed without the loss of eternal salvation. All, therefore, who after that time [the promulgation of the Gospel] observe circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, it declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least fit to participate in eternal salvation, unless someday they recover from these errors.”
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Pt. I-II, Q. 103, A. 4. “... the ceremonies of the Old Law foreshadowed Christ as having yet to be born and to suffer: whereas our sacraments signify Him as already born and having suffered. Consequently, just as it would be a mortal sin now for anyone, in making a profession of faith, to say that Christ is yet to be born, which the fathers of old said devoutly and truthfully; so too it would be a mortal sin now to observe those ceremonies which the fathers of old fulfilled with devotion and fidelity. Such is the teaching Augustine (Contra Faust. xix, 16)...”
