“FOR ALL THE GODS OF THE GENTILES ARE DEVILS” (Psalm 96:5)

“Do not be yoked with those who are different, with unbelievers. For what partnership do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What accord has Christ with Beliar? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said: "I will live with them and move among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.

Therefore, come forth from them and be separate," says the Lord, "and touch nothing unclean.”

(2 Cor. 6, 14-17)

“What they (the Gentiles) they sacrifice to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to become participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.”

(1 Cor. 10, 20-21)

No one comes to the Father except through Christ (Jn. 14:6). There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved (Act. 4:12). He (Christ) is the true light, which enlightens everyone, wh comes into the world (Jn. 1:9). Whoever is not with Him is against Him (Mt. 12:30). Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him (Jn. 5:23). The Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to his Son (Jn. 5:22). Whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God (Jn. 3:18). In Him and in the Father who has sent Him (Jn. 17:3).

“All the gods of the gentiles are devils” (Ps. 96:5).

“God told Moses: ‘Tear down their altars; smash their sacred pillars, and cut down their sacred poles. You shall not worship any other god, for the Lord is 'the Jealous One'; a jealous God is he.” (Ex. 34, 13-14)

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine (the full Catholic doctrine), do not receive him in your house or even greet him”. (2Jn. 1, 10). (Note: This is not to be uncharitable but according to the virtue of prudence).

THE DIVERSITY OF FALSE RELIGIONS IS THE PRODUCT OF ORIGINAL SIN

This is the constant teaching of the Catholic Church, which Father Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange summarizes admirably:

“Respect for all religions, however false or perverse they may be, is only the proud denial of respect due to the Truth. To sincerely love the true and the good, we must have no sympathy with error and evil. To truly love the sinner and further his salvation, we must detest the evil in him".

Father Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. (1877-1964).

Instead, today this very serious error is said:

“The pluralism and the diversity of religions, colour, sex, race and language are willed by God in His wisdom, through which He created human beings.” (Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together, February 4, 2019).

The diversity of false religions invented by man cannot be the expression of the will of God, since God abhors error. And God Himself is the Truth. Therefore, there is only one true Religion taught by the only Church - the Catholic church - founded by Christ, true God who became Man to save us.

If Adam had not sinned, error would not have spread, nor would so many false religions invented by man, product of original sin, have been created (throughout history).

To date, this erroneous statement which claims that false religions are the "expression of a divine wisdom (sic)" has not been officially corrected.

TRUE ECUMENISM

"No Authority on Earth – Not Even the Supreme Authority of the Church – Has the Right to Dispense People from Other Religions from the Explicit Faith in Jesus Christ": Bishop Schneider

"In this way they easily deceive the simple-minded and the heedless. Again, as all who offer themselves are received whatever may be their form of religion, they thereby teach the great error of this age, that a regard for religion should be held as an indifferent matter, and that all religions are alike. This manner of reasoning is calculated to bring about the ruin of all forms of religion, and especially of the Catholic religion, which, as it is the only one that is true, cannot, without great injustice, be regarded as merely equal to other religions." Leo XIII, Encyclical Humanum Genus

The Doctrine of the Church Must Not Be Adapted to Times and Other Ideologies

• THE TRUTH REVEALED BY GOD IS IMMUTABLE AND DOES NOT CHANGE WITH TIME.
• THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE REPORTED ERRORS "SAY THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT INFUSES NOW IN THE SOULS OF THE FAITHFUL MORE ABUNDANT CHARISMS THAN IN PAST TIMES", POINTED OUT POPE LEO XIII.
• THE SAME THING SAY TODAY THOSE WHO REPEAT THESE OLD THESES AGAINST CATHOLIC FAITH.
• THE OLD HERESIES ARE NOT ONLY OLD BUT ALSO RETROGRADE.
• THEY ARE OLD AND VULGAR ERRORS THAT ARE RECYCLED AND PRESENTED AS NEW "DISCOVERIES”.

APOSTOLIC LETTER "TESTEM BENEVOLENTIAE":

“…The underlying principle of these new (and condemnable)* opinions is that (according to these relativists)*, in order to more easily attract those who differ from her, the Church should shape her teachings more in accord with the spirit of the age and relax some of her ancient severity and make some concessions to new opinions. Many think that these concessions should be made not only in regard to ways of living, but even in regard to doctrines which belong to the deposit of the faith. They contend that it would be opportune, in order to gain those who differ from us, to omit certain points of her teaching which are of lesser importance, and to tone down the meaning which the Church has always attached to them.

“It does not need many words, beloved son, to prove the falsity of these ideas if the nature and origin of the doctrine which the Church proposes are recalled to mind. The Vatican Council says concerning this point: “For the doctrine of faith which God has revealed has not been proposed, like a philosophical invention to be perfected by human ingenuity, but has been delivered as a divine deposit to the Spouse of Christ to be faithfully kept and infallibly declared. Hence that meaning of the sacred dogmas is perpetually to be retained which our Holy Mother, the Church, has once declared, nor is that meaning ever to be departed from under the pretense or pretext of a deeper comprehension of them.” (Constitutio “Dei Filius” on Catholic faith, Chapter IV).

“…Let it be far from anyone’s mind to suppress for any reason any doctrine that has been handed down. Such a policy would tend rather to separate Catholics from the Church than to bring in those who differ. There is nothing closer to our heart than to have those who are separated from the fold of Christ return to it, but in no other way than the way pointed out by Christ.”

A Group of Faithful Praying the Rosary in the Cathedral of Brussels Interrupted the Blasphemous Commemoration of Luther’s Apostasy

THEY WERE EVICTED BY THE POLICE

Belgium: a group of faithful interrupted the commemoration of the «Reformation» in a Catholic Cathedral by praying the Rosary

The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, hosted on Saturday a joint Catholic-Protestant commemoration of the "Reform" initiated by the heresiarch Luther. When the Protestant pastor began speaking, a group of young Catholics began to pray the Rosary.

30/10/17 

(InfoCatólica) The preaching during the ecumenical act (Editorial Note: about false ecumenism) was given by the pastor Steven Fuite. Cardinal Jozef De Kesel, archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels, participated in the ceremony with other religious and lay leaders.

As the pastor began to speak, young Catholics, faithful to the Lord and His Mother, began to pray the Rosary out loud, which caused Steven Fuite not to continue his preaching.

Little by little, police officers approached and ordered the Catholic faithful to end their prayer, which they ignored. Forty minutes later, the police took out the group of people, one by one, of the temple while they continued praying.

Vídeo:

Note: Similar events have occurred before in Mexico and Argentina. These young Catholics by praying the Holy Rosary are showing the greatness of our Catholic faith. They are teaching us that, at their young age, they follow the teachings of Christ. They follow the Tradition and the Magisterium of the Church of two thousand years. They know the difference between a Catholic and a Protestant, Muslim, Buddhist, etc. They are calling us to find the way to salvation of our souls through the grace Our Lord always gives us. May god bless them for defending the honor of the House of God.

“If Any Man Come to You And Bring Not This Doctrine (Catholic doctrine), Receive Him Not Into The House Nor Say To Him: God Speed You” (2 Jn. 1:10).

PASTORAL dispositions or acts (as in the case of this video) do not have the prerogative of infallibility that the teachings on faith and morality do when they fulfill all the conditions that the Church demands for it.

- “Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?”

“And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God: as God saith: I will dwell in them and walk among them. And I will be their God: and they shall be my people.”

“Wherefore: Go out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing.”

(2 Cor. 6, 14:17)

- “But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils; You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord and of the table of devils.”

(1 Cor. 10, 20:21)

- No man cometh to the Father, but by Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:6). For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). He (Christ) was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world (Jn. 1:9). He that followeth Him walketh not in darkness (Jn. 8:12). He that is not with Him, is against Him (Mt. 12:30). He who honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath sent him (Jn. 5:23). To Him the Father hath given all judgment (Jn. 5:22). He that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God (Jn. 3:18). The only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent (Jn. 17:3).

- “For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils” (Ps. 95:5).

- God said to Moses: “Destroy their altars, break their statues and cut down their groves (consecrated to their idols). Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is jealous, he is a jealous God” (Ex. 34, 13:13)

- “If Any Man Come to You And Bring Not This Doctrine (Catholic doctrine), Receive Him Not Into The House.” (Note: This order is not a lack of charity but due to caution). (2 Jn. 1:10).

How, then, does the Pope participated in this video where it is said exactly the opposite to God's Word and where it is proclaimed, furthermore, that it does not matter which side the mountain is climbed on (symbol of life towards Eternity) and that all religions must help each other to "arrive" (sic) at the same time to the summit (it is implicitly understood that this means Heaven), as it is EXPLICITLY indicated that it is necessary to honor ALL false religions?

Watch video:

- “Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise which he hath promised us, life everlasting” (1 Jn. 2:22-26).

- St. Athanasius (fourth century): "Everyone who wants to be saved, above all must maintain the Catholic faith; And he who does not keep it whole and inviolable, will surely perish forever.”

Believe It or Not!

(Voto Católico). Last Monday was the fourth year anniversary of the election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope, and on this date Cardinal Angelo Comastri, archpriest of the Basilica of St. Peter, gave permission to the Anglican Protestant community of Rome to celebrate their vespers in the Basilica (See: http://www.catholicityblog.com/2017/03/the-vatican-has-been-desecrated-with.html).

As an act of reparation, a group of young people from the Associazone Madonna di Fatima made a procession with the image of Our Lady of Fatima in St. Peter's Square. Although on the way to the square, the demonstrators were carrying banners with messages like "outside the Church there is no salvation", and handing out leaflets in which it was remembered that the Doctrine of the Church condemns the participation in the cult of the heretics, everyone left the things they were carrying before entering the Vatican. Nevertheless, while they were walking into St. Peter’s Square, they were approached by the police, and they were asked to leave the place.

At the Anglican Vespers was present Bishop Arthur Roche, recently appointed by Pope Francis as head of a commission to review the document of John Paul II, Liturgiam Authenticam, on the translations of the liturgical texts. His presence generated suspicions among the Vaticanists, since it is rumored that the real purpose of this commission, is in fact a new reform of the mass to be able to “concelebrate” it with Protestant ministers, and to achieve the "intercommunion" that has been hinted at in several speeches of Pope Francis.

The Vatican Has Been Desecrated with the Anglican Liturgy

PREPARING A FUTURE SYNCRETISTIC AND COMMON LITURGY?

Just as CATOLICIDAD announced it on February 10 (2017), the desecration of the Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican was carried out with the Anglican liturgy. Here are some pictures of the event, including the poster announcing this act – not sufficiently advertised - that has been perpetrated according to the 17th Century Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. Although there had already been acts of false ecumenism in Anglican temples (see links below), something like this had never been done in the most representative temple of catholicity.

[Secretum Meum Mihi] Archbishop Arthur Roche, secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, and now head of a commission created by Francis with the aim of "relaxing the rules of translation of liturgical texts", but which in reality would have the mission of "reforming the Mass in such a way that it can be celebrated with Christians of other confessions", preaches about St. Gregory in the first Anglican Vespers celebrated on March, 13, 2017 in the Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican (Image provided by Sally Axworthy via Twitter).

A GROUP OF FAITHFUL CARRY OUT AN ACT OF REPARATION IN SAINT PETER’S SQUARE AT THE SAME TIME OF THE DESECRATION

As Catholicvs website points out: It is worth remembering the condemnation of the Catholic Church of false ecumenism, of Communicatio in sacris and of Anglicans, who don’t have the apostolic succession. In this regard, there have been numerous documents of the Magisterium, of which I have listed a number - in total there are almost 50 magisterial documents - since the Pontificate of Blessed Pius IX:

Blessed Pius IX: Letter to the English Bishops on the Unity of Christians (1864)

Blessed Pius IX: Instruction to the Anglican tractarians (puseyites) on the true religious unity (1865)

Blessed Pius IX: Apostolic Letter Iam Vos Omnes (1868)

Pope Leo XIII: Encyclical Satis Cognitum (1896)

Pope Leo XIII: Bula Apostolicae curae (1896)

Pope Pius XI: Encyclical Mortalium animos (1928)

Venerable Pius XII: Monitum Cum Compertum of the Holy Office (1948)

Venerable Pius XII: Instruction De motione oecumenica (1949)

Unbelievable: The Statue of the Heresiarch Martin Luther Presiding Over an Audience of Pope Francis

Rome, october 13, 2016 – During a meeting in the Vatican between Protestants and Catholics (during the audience held in the Paul VI Audience Hall), which, in an unprecedented way, was presided over by a statue of the apostate monk Martin Luther, who was excommunicated by the Catholic Church, Pope Francis said: “At the end of this month, God willing, I will go to Lund, in Sweden, and together with the Lutheran World Federation, we will remember, after five centuries, the beginning of Luther's reform.” Being that Luther was a heretic and schismatic monk, who strayed thousands from the path of salvation, is it right to celebrate this “Reform”, which has dragged so many into the abyss of error and heresy and has caused them to separate from the one and only Church – the Catholic – founded by Christ? Is it a good thing that a statue of this blasphemer (search in Google: Luther’s blasphemies) presides over a papal audience?

Pope Francis also said in this meeting: “Proselytism is the deadliest poison against the ecumenical path”. However, when the Pope does not follow the legacy he received from Christ, he is not infallible. And, certainly, in all this, he strays impressively from what Christ said, who dedicated His public life to proselytism, especially when he ordered His Apostles and successors: Go ye into the whole world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall he condemned. (Mk. 16: 15-16) The expression “TO EVERY CREATURE” includes absolutely each and every one of us, even Protestants, whom Pope Francis refuses to evangelize for the sake of a false ecumenism.

During this meeting, which coincided with the 99th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady in Fatima, Lutherans handed Francis, who received it happily, a luxurious book that contains the heretical thesis held by Luther and for which he was excommunicated from the Catholic Church.

Undoubtedly, all this has provoked considerable dismay and scandal among many members of the faithful. However, all the human errors made by a Pontiff in those things that do not affect Papal infallibility, which it is given only under determined and precise conditions, must not affect our faith, neither are we supposed to follow them, as Saint Paul did when he faced Saint Peter in Antioch (to read this article, click here: http://www.catholicityblog.com/2016/01/saint-pauls-rebuke-to-first-pope-in.html ).

A statue of Luther, very similar to the one
 that presided over Francis’ audience.

The Pope, as the successor of Saint Peter and Vicar of Christ, received from Christ a legacy that has to be defended by him (as it has been done for over two thousand years). In any other thing that departs from this legacy or that he wants to innovate in a wrong way, the Pope does not act with the power of Christ, but only as a fallible person. None of the previous Popes would have even thought of celebrating 500 years of apostasy or to place the statue – presiding over one of his audiences – of an excommunicated and heretic person who, according to Padre Pio, is in Hell. Blessed Maria Serafina of the Sacred Heart of Jesus also had a vision of Luther in Hell. (See here: http://www.catholicityblog.com/2016/03/false-churches-false-religions.html).

Therefore, we should not remain silent nor justify any of these things, as some people, who are committed with aspects that are merely human, do, and we need to pray very much for Pope Francis so he rectifies everything in which he should faithfully adhere to that legacy, and so the faithful will not be disturbed in their faith or get deviated from the right path.

Let us always remember what the Catholic Church teaches:

“These pan-Christians who strive for the union of the Churches would appear to pursue the noblest of ideals in promoting charity among all Christians. But how should charity tend to the detriment of faith? Everyone, knows that John, himself, the Apostle of love, who seems in his Gospel to have revealed the secrets of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and who never ceased to impress upon the memory of his disciples the new commandment 'to love one another', nevertheless strictly forbade any intercourse with those who profess a mutilated and corrupt form of Christ's teaching: ‘If any man come to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house, nor say to him, God speed you’ (2 John 10). Therefore, since the foundation of charity is faith pure and inviolate, it is chiefly by the bond of one faith that the disciples of Christ are to be united.”

“Thus, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics. There is, but one way in which the unity of Christians may be fostered, and that is by furthering the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it; for from that one true Church they have in the past fallen away.”

H.H. Pius XI, Encyclical Letter Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928.

The Pope is the DEPOSITARY not the inventor of the Catholic Doctrine. The First Vatican Council established that: “For the Holy Ghost was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles.”

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Preserve our faith and keep us in the one and only Church of Christ!
