POPES ARE ALWAYS READY TO LIE TO YOU
The pope has the power, according to Catholic doctrine, to sanction a doctrine of faith or morals as having come from Jesus. As Jesus is considered incapable of error this amounts to the doctrine being infallible.
The pope should use his infallibility as much as possible to prevent the Church
from being beset by confusion, schism and division over doctrinal and moral
problems now and in the future. He won’t tell countries on the brink of war what
to do - what the best solution is. He could use his infallibility to determine
the moral thing to do. Though the Church doesn’t believe in relativism it does
admit that there is some truth in it. For example, whether a war is just or not
has to be decided according to the situation. Morality, for the vastly most part
is, about these decisions and the Church used to use the casuistry system to
deal with them. Jesus according to the gospels focused more on ethics than on
rubbish such as God being this or that. Curiously the infallibility of the
Church is more concerned about dogma such as Mary being without sin than in
morals. Infallible moral statements have been issued by the Church extremely
rarely – with the nasty ban on contraception being a notable example. Here we
have a God who supposedly wants us to live good lives above all things and who
is more concerned about what we believe than what we do. The Church knows fine
well that it is not infallible. That is why it avoids making infallible
statements on morals for it knows that it will get caught out for making wrong
statements.
The pope doesn’t like helping the world out of confusion by his infallibility.
He can’t pretend that there is no point for it won’t make a difference for he
doesn’t know if it will or not so it is worth a try. So much for his confidence
in the Holy Spirit’s power to guide him in resolving difficulties.
The pope will say that any divisions caused by his silence are not his fault.
That is only an excuse with a man of his influence.
He will say that the persons responsible should unite but agree amicably to
differ or look into the problem thoroughly. This is no excuse for he has no
right to keep his lips shut when he knows it tempts people to tear the Church
apart. In his wonderful and sincere way, he says this while he condemns
unnecessary actions which give others an excuse for evil works.
It is clear by now that the pope does not really believe that he is infallible
for he is afraid to use his alleged gift too much in case he gets found out. He
is a con. He devises rules that cause suffering and death like the ban on
contraceptives and he doesn’t believe a word of it! He is a murderer!
If the pope really believed in his infallibility he would have given an
infallible interpretation of the Bible to the world considering the Church
considers the Bible so important and devotes much of the Mass to reading it. It
would save scholars a lot of bother. The Church claims to have the power to
interpret scripture without error and has made some statements about the meaning
of some Bible texts. Today, most Bible scholars give out interpretations and
criticise the Bible in a way that must horrify the Church but the pope is
silent.
Why is it that the Church says that Catholics do not believe doctrines because
they are defined but the Church defines them because they are believed by the
people (The Church and Infallibility, page 18). That is an admission that the
Church courts popularity. It is an arbitrary standard for it is only in recent
years that most Catholics have rejected the ban on birth-control and are slammed
as unorthodox and going to Hell. Before then, it was a different story. The
whole Christian world disapproved of it.
Sometimes the Church defines to keep a grip on its power over the people. The
Church usually defines when a popular doctrine starts to be threatened by large
numbers and sometimes even most members challenge the doctrine. The doctrine of
the Church that no dogma is an article of faith until the Church infallibly
proclaims it (page 20, The Church and Infallibility) is an admission that the
Church is not interested in what evidence says at all. You can’t make a dogma
just because everybody or most people believe it. That is not evidence that they
are right. Given the negativity the New Testament bears towards human
reliability when it comes to matters of God, it is downright heretical and
reckless.
The Church used to believe from the start that usury was wrong and in recent
centuries it has dropped this doctrine without trace (chapter 18, Rome has
Spoken). Another tradition that was universal in the early Church in the second
century and that has been scrapped by Rome is that Christians are to be pacifist
(chapter 17, Rome has Spoken). That means that by its standards, it has
abandoned an infallible doctrine for the first universal beliefs of the Church
would be the ones that count which is the reason why the Church does not hold
that its ban on contraception is fallible doctrine on the basis that the Church
does not believe in it now for it accepted it in the past. All this is so absurd
that it is seems plain that the Church couldn’t possibly seriously believe that
it is infallible.
The pope is not a Roman Catholic for he does not believe in his own
infallibility. The Catholic Church cannot be the true Church when a fake pope
runs it for then it would be right to break from his Church to continue the true
Church and elect a new pope.
To say the pope would excommunicate himself if he tried to deliberately fake an
infallible declaration and that God would kill him before he would commit this
act conserves the idea of God protecting the Church from error. But it makes no
sense to say that the pope can mislead the Church in a far worse way by not
defining a dogma that needs to be defined and not excommunicate himself or prove
that Jesus’ alleged promise that the Church would never err was false. Not
defining is always an indication of disbelief in infallibility though the Church
says it is often inopportune to do it which is why it declines to define some
teachings as dogmas. For example, the definition of Mary being the co-redeemer
with Jesus has been put off in case it does damage to the ecumenical process.
The Church and the Bible both teach that the Holy Spirit uses us to convert one
another and it is he who is entitled to most of the credit through his interior
graces. If the Church really had confidence in him it would go ahead and define
that Mary is co-redemptrix. After all it is impossible to be very sure it would
harm ecumenical relations or that no solution for this problem could be found if
it does happen especially if the Holy Spirit has any power at all. Any
corporation can do something at a bad time and the Holy Spirit will do all he
can if the Catholic Church does the same. The Spirit can’t expect the Church to
be infallible in its diplomatic relations.
If the pope is wrong to say that he is the visible head of the Church then he
wants to deceive. He knows he should make sure he is the Vicar of Christ and has
the theologians and books to assist in his research. If he is not then he knows
he is not or he doesn’t care. He should set up his tribunal and then step down
as pope if his office is illegitimate. He should go back to being just the
bishop of Rome.
The pope is indeed a man of sin or THE man of sin who planks himself in the
temple of God as if he were God (2 Thessalonians 2). He is an impostor and he
tells us to obey him for he is the voice of God. He is really claiming to be
above God for God wouldn’t want us to. When you worship a man who interprets God
for you without authority you are really worshiping that man more than God when
you worship God for the revealer is more important than the revealed.
To claim that you know that a person like him is being sincere is evil for you
know how much pretending you do yourself.
Roman Catholicism is a religion that is led by a man who is unashamedly called,
“Your Holiness.” They say that the pope can be called this even if he is no
saint for he is holy to God in his office as pontiff. In other words, his job is
holy and not necessarily him. That is seen to be false when you think for a
minute. It contradicts the very way they address him. You don’t say, “Your
Importance”, to a person who is not important but whose job is. Why can’t the
pope be called the Vicar of Christ instead of His Holiness? The pope is boasting
of his spiritual and moral superiority. He is a Pharisee. I don’t want to call
him a religious snob but many would.
Reverence means treating something as holy to God. Reverend is the title that
comes from this. Priests and clergy bear it, they have no shame though they
condemn pride as a sin. They are telling people to revere them as if they were
something special. Snobs. They are not indispensable if there is a God of power
and might.
When you jail a killer it is not because you know he meant to kill – maybe he
was possessed? - but because the evidence tells you to jail him to be on the
safe side. The pope doesn’t want safe sides. He wants to be regarded as the
Vicar of Christ and obeyed . The office of the papacy contradicts the wisdom and
the justice endorsed by this principle therefore it is an evil office.
Catholics believe that the bread and wine of communion become the body and blood
of Jesus Christ in the literal sense on the altar. Jesus becomes present in
every part of them. Yet the pope allows communion in the hand which inevitably
means that small particles of the host, each of which are the Lord, are lost.
There would be less chance of this happening if communion were only placed on
the tongue. And the pope excommunicates people who sacrilegiously defile
communion hosts though his policies do the same sacrilege. The pope defiles the
communion host himself for unnecessary loss of the body and blood of Christ
occurs when communion in the hand is allowed. Therefore he, by justice, has
excommunicated himself and is not a Catholic. A non-Catholic pope is not
entitled to obedience in matters of faith and dogma.
The popes entered the priesthood knowing it facilitated a culture of secrecy
about clerical child sex abuse and such abuse was rife in Catholic schools even
at the hands of lay teachers though the priests were their bosses and the
patrons of the school. That is what is so disgusting about the alleged
compassion of the likes of Benedict XVI about the clerical sex abuse scandals.
It is frightful for a man to give out teachings which he claims are not
infallible but nevertheless to be obeyed for they cannot be wrong. He knows that
much of Catholic Tradition, which the Church says is the word of God, cannot be
traced back to the time of Jesus. So much of the teaching he gives must be
man-made because of that. He is just guessing that he is right. Does he not care
what harm he is doing if he is wrong?
For the Catholic and Protestant and Pagan world to bless and approve the pope
and to accept him as a bona-fide teacher is for them to make themselves as bad
as he is.
We need to see the enemies of reason as our own enemies. That is what they are!
We need to see the pope and the system he stands for for what they are! Then we
won't be taken in by their beatific facades! Their goodness is just superstition
masquerading as goodness. It is superstition masquerading as morality. The
pope is an enemy of reason and truth.
