LEGAL VERSUS MORAL POPES
Some traditionalist Catholics undermine service to the pope in the name of tradition.
The view of some that the pope can be a heretic and have no moral authority
but have legal authority is illogical and contrary to the implications of
Catholic teaching.
Could a pope who sends you a heretical bishop to corrupt you have any meaningful
legal authority? In the view, you ignore the heretical pope’s teaching if it
smacks of heresy or if it could be dangerous. You check out his teaching before
you accept it. The pope might not even be a member of the Church but they say he
is still head of the Church in the sense that he is to be obeyed for the sake of
order. He is a pope by law and nothing else. It would be schism to ordain
bishops without his consent so his canonical authority is to be respected. This
is absurd for the legal decrees are less important than religious ones. When the
pope cannot be trusted religiously he cannot be trusted legally and could be
trying to put heretics in top leadership positions in the Church to subvert the
Church or a section of it from within. It would be heresy and blasphemy to
respect his regulations and his choice of bishops.
Jesus said that a man who breaks the law in big things cannot be trusted in
matters of lesser importance so if the pope is a heretic he is not to be
recognised as a pope in any sense at all, religious or legal.
The pope would have to be protected against error all the time and not just when
he is giving the world a new infallible dogma to be pope when a heretic cannot
be a Catholic or trusted. Even Catholics hold that the popes have erred in
matters of doctrine and morals. John Paul II will admit to disagreeing on many
things with say Pius X. Both men cannot be right.
Many today say that Paul VI was drugged and many more believe that John Paul II
was senile and manipulated by the Vatican. These claims show how far off the
mark it is to believe in the papacy as a divine institution. A senile man could
not be a real pope and many popes have been senile. Old people are allowed to be
eccentric. The pope could make a doctrine not because it is true but because he
is partly senile and the Church could accept this thinking he is just eccentric
but knows what he is doing. You would need infallible doctors to be able to
believe in infallible popes or even in an infallible Church which is largely led
by old men.
“POPE” RATZINGER
Pope Benedict XVI as Cardinal Ratzinger authorised a Mass without a
consecration as valid (The Anaphora of Addi and Mari). Catholic dogma states
that Masses must have at least this is my body and my blood to be valid.
Ratzinger was the first bishop of Rome ordained under the invalid Vatican II
rite of consecration. It is invalid under the rules of Pope Leo XIII which state
that the Anglican orders are invalid for not being clear on what kind of priest
and bishop is ordained, namely one to offer Mass and forgive sins. This is the
same problem with the new rite in the Catholic Church.
Many say that that if there could be some doubt that the other Vatican II popes
were false popes there can be none in his case. The man now on the throne of
Peter is an antipope.
The authorisation of the heretical Mass went on the Vatican’s official website.
Some argue that John Paul II had little to do with this. But whatever the case
as Benedict didn’t correct his heresy he is definitely not pope. The heresy is
very serious for the Mass is at the heart of the Christian faith. It’s a heresy
that a pope can’t teach without destroying the faith. If a heretic can become
pope, a heretic of that magnitude cannot for it is Catholic doctrine that the pope
cannot lead the Church astray in a big way for the Lord promised that the gates
of Hell would never prevail over the Church.
