Antipope John Paul II is sending 2 “Cardinals” to commemorate 100th Anniversary of Jewish Synagogue!

Heresy of the Week, Week of 5/21/04

VATICAN CITY, APRIL 21, 2004 (Zenit.org).- “John Paul II appointed two cardinals to represent him at the ceremony of the centenary [100th anniversary] of the Synagogue of Rome, on May 23. They are Cardinal Camillo Ruini, the Pope's vicar for the Diocese of Rome and president of the Italian bishops' conference, and Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews. Vatican press office director Joaquín Navarro-Valls announced the news Tuesday. Chief Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni of Rome had invited the Holy Father to visit the synagogue for the second time, on the occasion of the celebration. John Paul II became the first Pope after St. Peter to visit a synagogue, when he visited the Rome landmark in April 1986. When Rabbi Di Segni visited the Holy Father last year, John Paul II recalled "that historic and unforgettable visit that has been a gift of the Almighty and represents an important stage on the path to understanding between Jews and Catholics. Rabbi Di Segni expressed disappointment that the Pope would be unable to visit the synagogue, but said that "Cardinals Ruini and Kasper will be received with all honors."

Comment: This is complete and utter apostasy!  This means that Judaism has a valid covenant with God; that Jews are not in a state of damnation; that they don’t need to convert, but should be celebrated for their rejection of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Faith.  Those persons aware of this who say that Antipope John Paul II is not a public apostate simply blaspheme Our Lord and Savior.  Frankly, one would have to be a complete idiot to be a “Catholic” if one believed that Antipope John Paul II’s sect is the Catholic Church; for Antipope John Paul II’s sect holds that being a Catholic is completely meaningless. In fact, notice that John Paul is sending the “Cardinals” to the Synagogue on the 23rd of May, a Sunday! So, at John Paul II’s arrangement, the apostate “Cardinals” will be spending Sunday, Our Lord’s day, in a Synagogue in Rome commemorating its 100 years of rejecting Christ! On January 16 John Paul II had another meeting with the Chief Rabbis of Israel.

Antipope John Paul II, Speech to Chief Rabbinate of Israel, Jan. 16, 2004: “Distinguished Gentlemen, I am pleased that you have come to Rome to attend the Concert of Reconciliation at the Vatican, and I am happy to extend to you today my warm and cordial greetings.  In the 25 years of my Pontificate I have striven to promote Jewish-Catholic dialogue and to foster even greater understanding, respect and cooperation between us.  Indeed, one of the highlights of my Pontificate will always remain my Jubilee Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, which included intense moments of remembrance, reflection and prayer at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial and at the Western Wall.       “The official dialogue established between the Catholic Church and the Chief Rabbinate of Israel is a sign of great hope.  We must spare no effort in working together to build a world of justice, peace and reconciliation for all peoples.  May Divine Providence bless our work and crown it with success!” (L’Osservatore Romano, Jan. 21, p. 12)

Here we see Antipope John Paul II commemorating his prayer at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on March 26, 2000.  The Western or Wailing Wall is the stone remnant of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.  The Jews pray at the Western Wall as the holiest site in Judaism.  The destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D., leaving only the Western Wall, has always been understood by Catholics to signify God’s judgment on the Jews. The destruction of the Temple prohibited Jews from being able to offer sacrifice, which meant that their religion had come to an end.  The destruction of the Temple was God’s powerful sign to the Jews that the Messiah had come, that the Old Covenant had ceased, and that the Temple had been replaced by the Catholic Church.  So when a Jew prays at the Western Wall, or leaves a prayer there, it is a denial that Jesus is the Messiah; it is an affirmation that he holds that the Old Covenant is still in force; and it is a pitiful and sad attempt to ignore God’s very obvious sign that the Jews must abandon the destroyed Temple and enter the Catholic Church. So when Antipope John Paul II himself prayed at the Western Wall in March of 2000, it was an attempt to validate Judaism.  It was a denial that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, a direct affirmation that he holds that the Old Covenant is still in force, and a mockery of God’s clear sign that the Jews must abandon the destroyed Temple and enter the Catholic Church.  One informed commentator pointed out that when Antipope John Paul II prayed at the Western Wall, most of the nation of Israel was watching on television.  This means that every Jew watching on television was given the impression by Antipope John Paul II that he does not need to convert to Jesus Christ because he is not the Messiah. The prayer that Antipope John Paul II left at the Western Wall asked forgiveness for sins against the Jewish people.  So Antipope John Paul II’s commemoration of his prayer at the Western Wall in this January speech just confirms his malice and his apostasy.  Interestingly, it was two days earlier on this same trip to Israel where Antipope John Paul II appeared in the chair with the upside-down cross over his head (as can be seen on our website). We also see Antipope John Paul II commemorating his visit to the Holocaust memorial.  Is there any mention in this of the defined dogma that all who died as Jews in the “Holocaust” went to hell?  Of course not.  Is there any mention in all of this by Antipope John Paul II that the Rabbis and the Jews need to convert for salvation?  No.  Has he ever mentioned even once the necessity for Jews to convert to Christ in his countless visits with the infidels?  Of course not.  Rome has become the Seat of Antichrist (Our Lady of La Salette)– it officially denies that one must confess that Jesus is the Christ.

1 John 2:22 – “Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ?  He is antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.” Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, ex cathedra: “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews … cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives…” Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, 1441, ex cathedra: “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and teaches that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament, the Mosaic law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites, sacrifices, and sacraments… after our Lord’s coming… ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began..  All, therefore, who after that time (the promulgation of the Gospel) observe circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, the holy Roman Church declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least fit to participate in eternal salvation.” Pope Benedict XIV, Ex Quo Primum (# 61), March 1, 1756: “The first consideration is that the ceremonies of the Mosaic Law were abrogated by the coming of Christ and that they can no longer be observed without sin after the promulgation of the Gospel.” Pope Benedict XIV, Ex Quo Primum (# 59), March 1, 1756: “However they are not attempting to observe the precepts of the old Law which as everybody knows have been revoked by the coming of Christ.”
