Archbishop Joseph Dore of Strasbourg, France, Speech to B’nai B’rith (Jewish Freemasons), August, 2003: “Whatever the depiction [of the Jews in traditional Catholic art]… the theological message is the same – God’s election has now passed to the Christian people; and the Church, the true Israel, may triumph, She who confesses the saving truth brought by Christ.
     “At Vatican II, the Catholic Church finally revised this teaching and understood to what extent it contradicts the Bible itself... In 1973, the French episcopacy, particularly under the influence of Msgr. Elchinger, [past] Bishop of Strasbourg, published a document of unparalleled moral force on Judeo-Christian relations, while Pope John Paul II recalled on numerous occasions the permanence of the First Covenant [Ed. the Old Covenant], ‘which was never revoked’ by God [John Paul II, Mainz, Germany, 1980].  Today, we desire to work together with our elder brothers toward reconciliation and fraternal dialogue.  Yet we must have the humility to recognize that the doctrine of contempt and the ‘theology of substitution’ – making the Church to be the new and only Israel of God – still penetrate the minds of a large number.  Only by a great labor of education will we ever manage to extirpate all seed of anti-Judaism.  Only by a continual purification of memory, making them conscious of their own temptations, will Christians be moved to vigilance and responsibility.
     “Today the Church calls Christians to take the first steps on the path to conversion, inviting them to construct a future with their Jewish brothers in which, together, they might be a ‘blessing for one another’ [John Paul II, 1983].” (Bulletin du prieure Marie-Reine [195 rue de Bale, 68100 Mulhouse]; also The Angelus, Feb-March 2004, p. 70)

Comment: This is total apostasy.  It is complete and utter contempt for – and rejection of – the following dogma, which declares that the Old Covenant ceased with the coming of Christ and was replaced with the New and Eternal Covenant of Jesus Christ.

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Cantate Domino, Feb. 4, 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 until 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.” (Denz. 712)

Notice how the execrable apostate, “Archbishop” Dore, references Antipope John Paul II’s speech in 1980 (and other statements from Antipope John Paul II) to justify his apostasy.  Notice how he refers to the Old Covenant as the “First Covenant,” not the “Old” Covenant, because “Old” implies that it is no longer in force!  Notice how he says that “we must have the humility” to abandon the Catholic dogma that the Old Covenant has ceased.  Notice how he says that it will require “a great labor” to extirpate (root out) this dogmatic truth from Catholic minds.  This is the “Archbishop” of the Vatican II sect in Strasbourg.  This is nothing other than the “Church” of Antichrist.

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.”

Fr. Stephen Abraham, a priest of the Society of St. Pius X, wrote an open letter in response to this apostasy from the “Archbishop” of Strasbourg.  In it, SSPX priest Fr. Abraham writes:

 “Your Grace, would you prefer that we forgot about the designs of God?” (The Angelus, Feb-March 2004, p. 73)

How can this SSPX priest, and the official publication of the SSPX, refer to this non-Catholic, blasphemous, Christ-rejecting apostate, “Archbishop” Dore, as Your Grace?  This is simply an insult to Our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 1:17- “For the law was given by Moses, grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”

Pope Benedict XIV, Ex Quo Primum (# 61): “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.”
