Brethren,
Brethren, the Great Apostasy is exposed in India. An Archbishop of the Vatican II sect in India declared the following recently:
Archbishop Leo Cornelio of Bhopal, head of the Catholic Church in the central Indian state, chaired the meeting organized by the archdiocese’s commission for ecumenism and dialogue.
The prelate urged participants to refrain from trying to attract members of other Churches to their own. This creates divisions among Churches, he noted.
The prelate also appealed for all denominations to refrain from badmouthing one another or other religious communities, especially during preaching, since this violates Christ’s teaching of love, harmony and peace. (Catholic News Asia, December 15, 2009).
This teaching recently uttered by the Indian archbishop only reflects the wicked Balamad statement of the Vatican II Antipopes that no heretics or schismatics should be proselytized:
In this spirit Pope John Paul II and Ecumenical Patriarch Dimitrios I together stated clearly: “We reject every form of proselytism, every attitude which would be or could be perceived to be a lack of respect” (Balamad Declaration Between Vatican II Sect’s Antipope John Paul II and Schismatic “Patriarch” Bartholomew, June 23, 1993).
Of course, the Catholic Church’s main objective (unlike the apparent objective of the Vatican II sect) is, like an army set in battle array under King David, to spread with the sword of the Spirit (as declared by the Apostle), which is the Word of God, the gospel to every land and save out of it some who may be saved. This completely contradicts the Balamad statement regarding “proselytism”. Also, we do not “respect” false religions or call them good and praiseworthy, such a notion was infallibly condemned by Our Predecessor Pius XI in Mortalium Animos (1928). See also the many statements of Our Predecessors badmouthing the wicked heretics, or Christ bad mouthing the Pharisees.
We are aware, and We sorrowfully deplore the fact, that these schismatics and heretics who enjoy the favor of the civil authority exercise the ministry of their wicked sect in the region of the diocese of Basel as in other regions of your country while the religious freedom of Catholics remains publicly oppressed by schismatic laws. (Pope Pius IX, Graves Ac Diuturnae, 1875).
Our Predecessors never hestitated to point out when a particular sect was wicked, and to be denounced and deplored. For the Catholic Church has always condemned all contrary errors.
The Holy Virgin who once victoriously drove the terrible sect of the Albigenses from Christian countries, now suppliantly invoked by us, will turn aside the new errors, especially those of Communism, which reminds us in many ways, in its motives and misdeeds, of the ancient ones. (Ingravescentibus Malis, Pope Pius XI, 1937).
O the wickedness! The fact that We should even have to write these plain things shows just how far this wicked world has fallen for the deceptions of the evil one, and how close We are to horrible judgments from God! In no way are heretics joined to the Church of the Almighty God!
Pope Innocent III, Eius exemplo, Dec. 18, 1208:
“By the heart we believe and by the mouth we confess the one Church, not of heretics,
but the Holy Roman, Catholic, and Apostolic Church outside of which we believe that no
one is saved.”
This latest teaching from the Vatican II sect in India that one should not proselytize heretics is so absurd and insane that We wouldn’t be surprised if Almighty God struck India with an incredible wrath simply from the utterance of this one statement alone. This statement contravenes the Great Commission of the Gospel of Matthew, the work and lives of all of the Catholic missionary saints, and seeks to destroy the idea that the Roman Faith alone is true. Far be it from Us to ever allow such things in the true Roman Church, which the Vatican II sect is not! Indeed such ideas are foreign to the Church of Christ, and most anyone who uttered such ridiculous notions would be cut off, unable to infect the Body of Our Lord.
For Our Predecessor Leo XII infallibly declared in 1824 infallibly in his encyclical Ubi Primum:
12. But at what are these remarks aimed? A certain sect, which you surely know, has unjustly arrogated to itself the name of philosophy, and has aroused from the ashes the disorderly ranks of practically every error. Under the gentle appearance of piety and liberality this sect professes what they call tolerance or indifferentism… The apostle Paul warns us against the impiety of these madmen. “I beseech you, brethren, to behold those who create dissensions and scandals beyond the teaching which you have learned. Keep away from such men. They do not serve Christ Our Lord but their own belly, and by sweet speeches and blessings they seduce the hearts of the innocent.”
13. Of course this error is not new, but in Our days it rages with a new rashness against the constancy and integrity of the Catholic faith. Eusebius cites Rhodo as his source for saying that the heretic Apelles in the second century had already produced the mad theory that faith should not be investigated, but that each man should persevere in the faith he was raised in. Even those who did not put faith in a crucified man were to be saved, according to Apelles, provided that they engaged in good works. Rhetorius too, as We learn from St. Augustine, used to claim that all the heretics walked on the right road and spoke truth. But Augustine adds that this is such nonsense that he cannot believe it. The current indifferentism has developed to the point of arguing that everyone is on the right road. This includes not only all those sects which though outside the Catholic Church verbally accept revelation as a foundation, but those groups too which spurn the idea of divine revelation and profess a pure deism or even a pure naturalism. The indifferentism of Rhetorius seemed absurd to St. Augustine, and rightly so, but it did acknowledge certain limits. But a tolerance which extends to Deism and Naturalism, which even the ancient heretics rejected, can never be approved by anyone who uses his reason. Nevertheless — alas for the times; alas for this lying philosophy!-such a tolerance is approved, defended, and praised by these pseudophilosophers.
Certainly many remarkable authors, adherents of the true philosophy, have taken pains to attack and crush this strange view. But the matter is so self-evident that it is superfluous to give additional arguments. It is impossible for the most true God, who is Truth Itself, the best, the wisest Provider, and the Rewarder of good men, to approve all sects who profess false teachings which are often inconsistent with one another and contradictory, and to confer eternal rewards on their members. For we have a surer word of the prophet, and in writing to you We speak wisdom among the perfect; not the wisdom of this world but the wisdom of God in a mystery. By it we are taught, and by divine faith we hold one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and that no other name under heaven is given to men except the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in which we must be saved. This is why we profess that there is no salvation outside the Church.
And again, regarding the important work of Missionary Saint Frances de Sales attempts to convert the heretics, Our Predecessor Pius XI wrote in Rerum Omnibum in 1923:
No less well known are the ease and amiability with which he received everyone. Sinners and apostates especially flocked to his house in order, with his help, to become reconciled to God and to amend their lives. He was most partial to unfortunate prisoners whom he, by a hundred artifices of charity, sought to console during his frequent visits to the prisons. He likewise showed great kindness to his own servants, whose sloth and gaucheries he bore with heroic patience. His kindness of heart never varied, no matter who the persons were with whom he had to deal, the hour of the day, the trying circumstances he had to meet. Not even heretics, who often proved themselves very offensive, ever found him a bit less affable or less accessible. Indeed, his zeal was so great that during the first year of his priesthood, he attempted, despite the opposition of his own father, to reconcile the people of La Chablais to the Church. In this he was gladly seconded by Granier, the Bishop of Geneva. To accomplish this work, he refused no duty whatsoever, he fled no danger, not even that of possible death. His imperturbable kindness stood him in better stead in effecting the conversion of so many thousands of people than even the broad learning and wonderful eloquence which characterized his performance of the many duties of the sacred ministry.
8. He was accustomed to repeat to himself, as a source of inspiration, that well known phrase, “Apostles battle by their sufferings and triumph only in death.” It is almost unbelievable with what vigor and constancy he defended the cause of Jesus Christ among the people of La Chablais. In order to bring them the light of faith and the comforts of the Christian religion, he was known to have traveled through deep valleys and to have climbed steep mountains. If they fled him, he pursued, calling after them loudly. Repulsed brutally, he never gave up the struggle; when threatened he only renewed his efforts. He was often put out of lodgings, at which times he passed the night asleep on the snow under the canopy of heaven. He would celebrate Mass though no one would attend. When, during a sermon, almost the entire audience one after another left the Church, he would continue preaching. At no time did he ever lose his mental poise or his spirit of kindness toward these ungrateful hearers. It was by such means as these that he finally overcame the resistance of his most formidable adversaries….
[A] first missionary sent deserted the held of battle, either because he despaired of converting these heretics or because he feared them. But St. Francis de Sales who, as We have pointed out, had already offered himself for missionary work to the Bishop of Geneva, started on foot in September, 1594, without food or money, and accompanied by no one except a cousin of his, to take up this work. It was only after long and repeated fasts and prayers to God, by Whose aid alone he expected his mission to be successful, that he attempted to enter the country of the heretics. They, however, would not listen to his sermons. He sought then to refute their erroneous doctrines by means of loose leaflets which he wrote in the intervals between his sermons. These leaflets were distributed about in great quantities and passed from hand to hand with the object of having them find their way into the possession of the heretics.
We must wonder at the dangers faced by Saint Frances de Sales, but then We only need to be mindful of that ancient and universally known dogma that no heretic can be saved, until he has been rescued and placed in the bosom and unity of the Roman Church; and that no heretic can be saved, even if he has shed his blood in the name of Christ! For Our Predecessor Eugene IV wrote, which We write in large letters so that all cannot fail to see the force of it:
“The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews or heretics and schismatics, 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; that the unity of this ecclesiastical body is of such importance that only for those who abide in it do the Church’s sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts, almsgiving and other works of piety and practices of the Christian militia productive of eternal rewards; and that nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ, unless he has persevered in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.” -Pope Eugene IV, Cantate Domino, Council of Florence 1441 (infallible)
