“Pope Gelasius in his ninth letter (Chap. 26) to the bishops of Lucania condemned the evil practice which had been introduced of women serving the priest at the celebration of Mass. Since this abuse had spread to the Greeks, Innocent IV strictly forbade it in his letter to the bishop of Tusculum: ‘Women should not dare to serve at the altar; they should be altogether refused this ministry.’ We too have forbidden this practice in the same words in Our oft-repeated constitution Etsi Pastoralis, sect. 6, no. 21.” [Pope Benedict XIV, Allatae Sunt, #29, July 26, 1755] #Catholic https://www.papalencyclicals.net/Ben14/b14allat.htm

"..Jews say that they, too, adore God. God forbid that I say that. No Jew adores God! Who say so? The Son of God say so. For he said: "If you were to know my Father, you would also know me. But you neither know me nor do you know my Father"." St. John Chrysostom
“Many, I know, respect the Jews and think that their present way of life is a venerable one. This is why I hasten to uproot and tear out this deadly opinion. I said that the synagogue is no better than a theater and I bring forward a prophet as my witness. Surely the Jews are not more deserving of belief than their prophets. "You had a harlot's brow; you became shameless before all". Where a harlot has set herself up, that place is a brothel. But the synagogue is not only a brothel and a theater; it also is a den of robbers and a lodging for wild beasts. Jeremiah said: "Your house has become for me the den of a hyena". He does not simply say "of wild beast", but "of a filthy wild beast", and again: "I have abandoned my house, I have cast off my inheritance". But when God forsakes a people, what hope of salvation is left? When God forsakes a place, that place becomes the dwelling of demons. But at any rate the Jews say that they, too, adore God. God forbid that I say that. No Jew adores God! Who say so? The Son of God say so. For he said: "If you were to know my Father, you would also know me. But you neither know me nor do you know my Father". Could I produce a witness more trustworthy than the Son of God? If, then, the Jews fail to know the Father, if they crucified the Son, if they thrust off the help of the Spirit, who should not make bold to declare plainly that the synagogue is a dwelling of demons? God is not worshipped there. Heaven forbid! From now on it remains a place of idolatry. But still some people pay it honor as a holy place.” [St. John Chrysostom, Against the Jews, Homily 1, #3, 386] #Catholic https://www.tertullian.org/fathers/chrysostom_adversus_judaeos_01_homily1.htm

"The Jews have not recognized our Lord,therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people."- "if you be Christ’s then you are the seed of Abraham [Galatians3:29].If we because of our faith in Christ are deemed children of Abraham,the Jews therefore because of their perfidy have ceased to be His seed."
“We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem, but we could never sanction it. The soil of Jerusalem, if it was not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church, I cannot tell you anything different. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people. If you come to Palestine and settle your people there, we will have churches and priests ready to baptize all of you.” [Pope St. Pius X, private audience with Theodor Herzl, January 25, 1904] “… if you be Christ’s then you are the seed of Abraham [Galatians 3:29]. If we because of our faith in Christ are deemed children of Abraham, the Jews therefore because of their perfidy have ceased to be His seed.” [Pope St. Gregory the Great, 6th century]

Paul warns us against-these madmen.“I beseech you-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.”
“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. It preaches that-God has given every individual a wide freedom to embrace and adopt without danger to his salvation whatever sect or opinion appeals to him on the basis of his private judgment.- Paul warns us against-these madmen.“-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.” [10] -the heretic Apelles-produced the mad theory that faith should not be investigated, but that each man should persevere in the faith he was raised in. [11] Rhetorius-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.[12] 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.” [Pope Leo XII, Ubi Primum, #'s 12-13, May 5, 1824] #Catholic https://www.papalencyclicals.net/Leo12/l12ubipr.htm

"..by no means is it permitted to pass over in silence or to veil in ambiguous terms the Catholic truth.. in returning to the Church, they will lose nothing of that good which by the grace of God has hitherto been implanted in them..outside the truth no true union can ever be attained." -Holy Office
“Therefore the whole and entire Catholic doctrine is to be presented and explained [at events with the aim of reconciling dissident Christians to the Catholic Church]: by no means is it permitted to pass over in silence or to veil in ambiguous terms the Catholic truth regarding the nature and way of justification, the constitution of the Church, the primacy of jurisdiction of the Roman Pontiff, and the only true union by the return of the dissidents to the one true Church of Christ. It should be made clear to them that, in returning to the Church, they will lose nothing of that good which by the grace of God has hitherto been implanted in them, but that it will rather be supplemented and completed by their return. However, one should not speak of this in such a way that they will imagine that in returning to the Church they are bringing to it something substantial which it has hitherto lacked. It will be necessary to say these things clearly and openly, first because it is the truth that they themselves are seeking, and moreover because outside the truth no true union can ever be attained.” [The Holy Office, On the Ecumenical Movement, December 20, 1949] https://inthesamesense.org/references/catholic/dmo1949.php #Catholic

“when the liberty of all religions is indiscriminately asserted, by this very fact truth is confounded with error and the holy and immaculate Spouse of Christ, the Church, outside of which there can be no salvation, is set on a par with the sects of heretics and with Judaic perfidy itself.” Pius VII
“For when the liberty of all "religions" is indiscriminately asserted, by this very fact truth is confounded with error and the holy and immaculate Spouse of Christ, the Church, outside of which there can be no salvation, is set on a par with the sects of heretics and with Judaic perfidy itself. For when favour and patronage is promised even to the sects of heretics and their ministers, not only their persons, but also their very errors, are tolerated and fostered: a system of errors in which is contained that fatal and never sufficiently to be deplored HERESY which, as St. Augustine says (de Haeresibus, no.72), "asserts that all heretics proceed correctly and tell the truth: which is so absurd that it seems incredible to me."” [Pope Pius VII, Post Tam Diuturnas, April 29, 1814] #Catholic

"Pride and opinionated views have corrupted philosophy... false knowledge... has corrupted true knowledge... the true knower is the one who has come to know Son and his Father through him." - St. Clement of Alexandria

#Catholic
“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called. Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.” [1 Timothy 6:20-21] #Catholic “Pride and opinionated views have corrupted philosophy. In the same way, false knowledge, though it bears the same name, has corrupted true knowledge. The apostle writes of it, saying, “Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the godless chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge, for by professing it some have missed the mark as regards the faith.” Because this verse exposes them, the heretics regard the letters to Timothy as inauthentic. Well, if the Lord is “truth” and “the wisdom and power of God,” as in fact He is, it would be demonstrated that the true knower is the one who has come to know Son and His Father through Him.” [St. Clement of Alexandria, 215] #Catholic

"I am well aware that in the Councils there are articles concerning Ecclesiastical order and discipline, which can be changed and are but temporary. But it is not for private persons to interfere with them; the same authority which drew them up is required for abrogating them; if anybody else tries to do so it is in vain, and the authority is not the same unless it is a Council, or the general Head, or the custom of the whole Church. As to decrees on doctrines of faith they are invariable; what is once true is so unto eternity, and the Councils call canons (that is, rules) what they determine in this, because they are inviolable rules for our faith."

"Hence also that sense of the sacred dogmas is to be perpetually retained which our Holy Mother the Church has once declared, nor is this sense ever to be abandoned on plea or pretext of a more profound comprehension of the truth.” Pope St. Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis, #28
“- the Modernists, whether as authors or propagandists, there is to be nothing stable, nothing immutable in the Church... Our predecessor Pius IX wrote: “These enemies of divine revelation extol human progress to the skies, and with rash and sacrilegious daring would have it introduced into the Catholic religion as if this religion were not the work of God but of man, or some kind of philosophical discovery susceptible of perfection by human efforts.” [14] On the subject of revelation and dogma in particular, the doctrine of the Modernists offers nothing new. We find it condemned in the Syllabus of Pius IX, where it is enunciated in these terms: “Divine revelation is imperfect, and therefore subject to continual and indefinite progress, corresponding with the progress of human reason”; [15] and condemned still more solemnly in the Vatican Council: “The doctrine of the faith which God has revealed has not been proposed to human intelligences to be perfected by them as if it were a philosophical system, but as a divine deposit entrusted to the Spouse of Christ to be faithfully guarded and infallibly interpreted. Hence also that sense of the sacred dogmas is to be perpetually retained which our Holy Mother the Church has once declared, nor is this sense ever to be abandoned on plea or pretext of a more profound comprehension of the truth.” [16] Nor is the development of our knowledge, even concerning the faith, barred by this pronouncement; on the contrary, it is supported and maintained. For the same Council continues: “Let intelligence and science and wisdom, therefore, increase and progress abundantly and vigorously in individuals, and in the mass, in the believer and in the whole Church, throughout the ages and the centuries — but only in its own kind, that is, according to the same dogma, the same sense, the same acceptation.

Jewish homosexual Baum, fake convert, subversive and Vatican II peritus, admits a new religion was taught at the Council: "Nostra aetate recognizes that the..covenant.to be a source of truth and grace for Jewish people today.This is new teaching- a different interpretation of the Pauline teaching"
“... [Vatican IIs'] Nostra aetate recognizes that the ancient divine covenant mediated by Moses continues to be a source of truth and grace for Jewish people today. This is new teaching. The early Christian writers had argued that, because of their refusal to believe in Jesus Christ, the Jews had fallen into darkness and lost their spiritual inheritance; yet taking into account the Pauline passage “The gifts and the call of God are irrevocable” (Rom. 11:28), the early Christian writers held that the Jews would not lose themselves in the world but, even while living in darkness, would remain God’s first-loved people, destined to turn to their messiah and be saved before the end of time. Nostra aetate offers a different interpretation of the Pauline teaching. Because God’s call is without repentance and because the Jews remain God’s first-loved people, the Second Vatican Council teaches that God’s ancient covenant with the Jews remains valid and is for them the source of truth and grace. Jews find their salvation in Judaism. This teaching implies that there is no theological justification for a Christian mission to covert Jews to Christianity. This conciliar interpretation of the Pauline passage “God has not abandoned his people” (Rom. 11:1) is new. None of the books and commentaries I consulted when writing The Jews and the Gospel had interpreted this passage as implying the ongoing validity of the ancient covenant. At the council we read the Pauline message following a post-Holocaust hermeneutics... While I was grateful and overjoyed that the Second Vatican Council had changed the church’s teaching on Jews and Judaism...” [Gregory Baum, The Oil Has Not Run Dry, pp. 38-39, 2017]

"beneath these enticing words and blandishments lies hid a most grave error, by which the foundations of the Catholic faith are completely destroyed-the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it." Pope Pius XI
“... doctrines, which form as it were a common basis of the spiritual life. For which reason conventions, meetings and addresses are frequently arranged by these persons, at which a large number of listeners are present, and at which all without distinction are invited to join in the discussion, both infidels of every kind, and Christians, even those who have unhappily fallen away from Christ or who with obstinacy and pertinacity deny His divine nature and mission. Certainly such attempts can nowise be approved by Catholics, founded as they are on that false opinion which considers all religions to be more or less good and praiseworthy, since they all in different ways manifest and signify that sense which is inborn in us all, and by which we are led to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule. Not only are those who hold this opinion in error and deceived, but also in distorting the idea of true religion they reject it, and little by little. turn aside to naturalism and atheism, as it is called; from which it clearly follows that one who supports those who hold these theories and attempt to realize them, is altogether abandoning the divinely revealed religion. But some are more easily deceived by the outward appearance of good when there is question of fostering unity among all Christians. ... in reality beneath these enticing words and blandishments lies hid a most grave error, by which the foundations of the Catholic faith are completely destroyed. .. there can be no true religion other than that which is founded on the revealed word of God: which revelation, begun from the beginning and continued under the Old Law, Christ Jesus Himself under the New Law perfected. ... the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it...” [Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, #'s 2, 3, 4, 6, & 10, January 6, 1928] https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius11/p11morta.htm #Catholic

The Holy Eucharist was given to heretics at the International Eucharistic Congress, Bogota, 1968.

"... they not only betrayed our Master and scandalized the flock, but also gave up the most precious heritage we had received from our ancestors, our Catholic unity." Rev. Joaquin Arriaga
“The petitioners [to receive Holy Eucharist] were self-confessed heretics, that is, people who not only do not accept, but also reject and repudiate much of the truth as revealed by God, as stated by the Church's Magisterium and belonging to our Catholic Faith. The churches or ecclesiastical communities to which they belong are but branches that have been severed from the trunk of the only Church that Christ built. Such branches differ considerably not only from us but also among each other, because of their various origins, doctrines, and spiritual lives... In facie ecciesiae, before the visible church, those who requested that unheard-of privilege in Medellin were heretics. What, then, did those gentlemen ask of our venerable prelates? Nothing less than taking the Most Holy Sacrament without being and without wanting to become Catholics. Had their petition been sincere, they would have applied for a full conversion to our Catholic Faith, since their supplication itself shows us that they knew perfectly well the Holy Church's requisites to receive the Sacraments. In their demand they implicitly avow that they are not members of the Church and that they do not even intend to become such, but, nevertheless, they asked permission to commune or to can celebrate with our bishops, in spite of not deserving it, as the above circumstances show. The apostle Paul requires that man prepare himself properly in order to be worthy of this august Sacrament, for he who eats and drinks of the body and blood of our Lord without deserving it, judicium sibi manducat et bibit, [1 Corinthian 11:27-29] eats and drinks his own judgment. Were those petitioners personally pure, and exempt from deadly sins? A well-known, non-Catholic Mexican newspaper commentator rightly affirms...” [Rev. Joaquin Saenz y Arriga, Ph.D., The New Montinian Church, pp. 3 & 5, August 15, 1971] https://archive.org/details/3-the-new-montinian-church-saenz-y-arriaga-rev.-joaquin-4129.o_202301 #Catholic

Not true. It was listed as a side effect so you wouldn't take it if pregnant. Pope Pius XI's Casti Connubi #'s 63-67 shows what the Church has always taught. "...it is against the precept of God and the law of nature: "Thou shalt not kill""

www.papalencyclicals.net/pius11/p11ca...

“But another very grave crime is to be noted, Venerable Brethren, which regards the taking of the life of the offspring hidden in the mother’s womb. Some wish it to be allowed and left to the will of the father or the mother; others say it is unlawful unless there are weighty reasons which they call by the name of medical, social, or eugenic “indication.” Because this matter falls under the penal laws of the state by which the destruction of the offspring begotten but unborn is forbidden, these people demand that the “indication,” which in one form or another they defend, be recognized as such by the public law and in no way penalized. There are those, moreover, who ask that the public authorities provide aid for these death-dealing operations, a thing, which, sad to say, everyone knows is of very frequent occurrence in some places. As to the “medical and therapeutic indication” to which, using their own words, we have made reference, Venerable Brethren, however much we may pity the mother whose health and even life is gravely imperiled in the performance of the duty allotted to her by nature, nevertheless what could ever be a sufficient reason for excusing in any way the direct murder of the innocent? This is precisely what we are dealing with here. Whether inflicted upon the mother or upon the child, it is against the precept of God and the law of nature: “Thou shalt not kill:”[50] The life of each is equally sacred, and no one has the power, not even the public authority, to destroy it. It is of no use to appeal to the right of taking away life for here it is a question of the innocent, whereas that right has regard only to the guilty... for the killing of the innocent is unthinkable and contrary to the divine precept promulgated in the words of the Apostle: Evil is not to be done that good may come of it.[52]...

“We have learned with grief that another error, not less melancholy, is introduced into certain parts of the Catholic world, and has taken possession of the souls of many Catholics. Carried away with a hope for the eternal salvation of those who are out of the true Church of Christ, they do not cease to inquire with solicitude what shall be the fate and the condition after death of men who are not submissive to the Catholic faith. Seduced by vain reasoning they make to these questions replies conformably to that perverse doctrine. Far from Us, Venerable Brothers, to lay claim to put limits to the Divine mercy, which is infinite! Far from Us to scrutinize the counsels and mysterious judgments of God, unfathomable depth where human thought cannot penetrate! But it belongs to the duty of Our Apostolic office to excite your Episcopal solicitude and vigilance to make all possible efforts to remove from the minds of men the opinion, as impious as it is fatal, according to which people can find in any religion the way of eternal salvation. Employ all the resources of your minds and of your learning to demonstrate to the people committed to your care that the dogmas of the Catholic faith are in no respect contrary to the Divine mercy and justice.

"Even though faith is above reason,there can never be any real disagreement between faith and reason,since it is the same God who reveals the mysteries and infuses faith,and who has endowed the human mind with the light of reason.God cannot deny himself, nor can truth ever be in opposition to truth"
Even though faith is above reason, there can never be any real disagreement between faith and reason, since it is the same God who reveals the mysteries and infuses faith, and who has endowed the human mind with the light of reason. God cannot deny himself, nor can truth ever be in opposition to truth. The appearance of this kind of specious contradiction is chiefly due to the fact that either the dogmas of faith are not understood and explained in accordance with the mind of the church, or unsound views are mistaken for the conclusions of reason. Therefore we define that every assertion contrary to the truth of enlightened faith is totally false [34] . [Pope Pius IX, Vatican I, Session 3, Chapter 4, April 4, 1870] 34.
