Antipope John Paul II’s Apostasy Update

April, 2003

To Whom it may Concern:

On Feb. 13, 2003, Antipope John Paul II met with the new chief Rabbi of Rome, and congratulated him for his office!

Antipope John Paul II, Address to Chief Rabbi in Rome, Feb. 13, 2003: “Esteemed Chief Rabbi of Rome, Dear Brothers in the faith of Abraham, I am glad to meet you, esteemed Dr. Riccardo Di Segni, after your election as Chief Rabbi of Rome, and I cordially greet you and the representatives who have accompanied you.  I renew my congratulations to you for the important office which has been entrusted to you, and on this important occasion, I would like to recall with deep esteem you illustrious predecessor, Prof. Elio Toaff.” (L’Osservatore Romano, Feb. 19, 2003 issue, p. 6.)

Antipope John Paul II is praising the Rabbi for his ascension to his Christ-denying office as head of the false religion of the Jews, and in so doing he: 1) denies the dogma outside the Church there is no salvation; 2) denies the necessity of believing in Jesus Christ for salvation; 3) denies the dogma that the Old Covenant has been revoked and cannot be observed without sin; and 4) clearly indicates that Judaism is a valid religion pleasing to God in which people can be saved.  Those who would assert, in the face of these facts, that Antipope John Paul II is not an apostate (but is a Catholic) are truly blaspheming Our Lord Jesus Christ.

At Most Holy Family Monastery we receive the official Vatican newspaper (L’Osservatore Romano), which enables us to keep up to speed on the actions of Antipope John Paul II.  It is not an exaggeration to say that Antipope John Paul II utters heresy or apostasy almost on a weekly basis.  Here are a few more quotations from some recent issues:

Muslims

Antipope John Paul II, address, Feb. 15, 2003: “… it is important that the dialogue of life between Christians and Muslims continue, so that they may be ever more daring witnesses of the good and merciful Lord, in mutual respect.  The future of a country largely rests on respect for the people, and for their freedom of conscience which includes the free choice of religion.” (L’Osservatore Romano, Feb. 26, 2003 issue, pp. 5,9)

Here Antipope John Paul II says that Muslims are witnesses to the good and merciful Lord!  This statement: 1) asserts that Islam (the Christ-denying religion of the Muslims) is a true religion that is pleasing to God and should be witnessed to (which is heresy and apostasy); and 2) his statement blasphemously asserts that Muslims worship the Lord with Catholics, which they do not, since they reject Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Trinity.  Will anyone actually dare to argue that Antipope John Paul II has not rejected the dogma outside the Church there is no salvation and in so doing separated himself from the Body of Christ?

Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi (# 23), June 29, 1943: “For not every sin, however grave it may be, is such as of its own nature to sever a man from the Body of the Church, as does schism or heresy or apostasy.”

And there’s more:

The “Orthodox” – Eastern Schismatics

Antipope John Paul II, Address to Serbian Orthodox Delegation, Feb. 6, 2003: “Through you I greet the venerable Patriarch Pavle with the Holy Synod and all the Bishops, clergy, monks and faithful of your Holy Church.” (L’Osservatore Romano, Feb. 12, 2003 issue, p. 4)

Here Antipope John Paul II praises the Serbian Schismatic Orthodox delegation, and praises the “monks and faithful of your Holy Church.”  He is praising this non-Catholic schismatical and heretical sect as “your Holy Church”!  This means that, according to Antipope John Paul II, the Catholic faith and the Papacy (which the Serbian Schismatics reject) are absolutely meaningless.  Antipope John Paul II is stating that the Catholic faith is utterly meaningless.  This is more proof that Antipope John Paul II is a manifest heretic and is not a Catholic.

All Religions

Antipope John Paul II, Angelus Address, Feb. 23, 2003: “It is the duty for believers, regardless of the religion they belong to, to proclaim that we can never be happy if we are against one another, the future of humanity can never be assured by terrorism and the logic of war.” (L’Osservatore Romano, Feb. 26, 2003 issue, p. 1.)

Here Antipope John Paul II says that believers of all religions have a duty to proclaim that no one should be against another.  This means that 1) that the believers of non-Catholic religions have a duty to their false religions.  This is apostasy.  The only duty of the believers of non-Catholic religions is to embrace the true religion and abandon their false one.  Antipope John Paul II’s statement also means that 2) all religions are more or less good and praiseworthy (which is explicitly condemned by Pope Pius XI as a complete rejection of the true religion in Mortalium Animos).  Finally, his statement indicates that 3) the believers of all religions can never be against one another, which means that you cannot be against any other religion.  This is pure syncretism (which is also apostasy).  The very profession of the Christian faith requires us to be against those who reject Christ’s true religion, while praying and working for their conversion.

Antipope John Paul II is denying Our Lord’s name almost weekly, and deceiving millions of those who claim to be Catholic by leading them into a false religion of apostasy.  But not only those who embrace this religion are falling into heresy and apostasy, but also those false “traditionalists” who justify it – not by outright acceptance – but by asserting that it does not constitute actual heresy or apostasy, such as those groups who still regard Antipope John Paul II as a Catholic.  These people are blinded to the reality that in accepting Antipope John Paul II as a Catholic (even if they don’t like what he is doing), they are asserting that apostasy = Catholicism, and that to be an apostate (like Antipope John Paul II) is still to be a Catholic.

St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice, II, 30: “This principle is most certain.  The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope, as Cajetan himself admits (ib. c. 26).  The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member; now he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian (lib. 4, epist. 2), St. Athanasius (Scr. 2 cont. Arain.), St. Augustine (lib. De great. Christ. Cap. 20), St. Jerome (contra Lucifer.) and others; therefore the manifest heretic cannot be Pope.”
