Joeseph Ratzinger: in an attempt to subvert Holy Mother Church's infallible teaching against the monstrous heresy of our age, Liberalism - publicly stated (manifested) that the teaching of Vatican II was a "countersyllabus" which was "an attempt at an official reconciliation with the new era inaugurated in 1789" and an effort to correct what he dared to call "the one-sidedness of the position adopted by the Church under Pius IX and Pius X in response to the situation created by the new phase of history inaugurated by the French Revolution…". Ratzinger added that the view of the world held by these two holy Popes represents “an obsolete Church-State relationship;” and that, therefore, “there can be no return to the Syllabus.”

The Apostate Ratzinger (a.k.a Antipope Benedict XVI), was ineligible to be a Pope in the eyes of the Church (this ineligibility also applied to the other Vatican II 'popes') as he [Ratzinger] was a well docuмented manifest heretic before his 'pseudo election' which placed him under the condemnation of Pope Paul IV's Infallible, cuм Ex Apostolatus Officio. For any Catholic to deny this fact, that Ratzinger held and publically taught numerous heresies before his pseudo election is impossible[/u]... to then conclude he (Ratzinger) could be elected pope, after one has read and understood the infallible teaching of Pope Paul IV's cuм Ex Apostolatus Officio, would put the one who claimed such an absurdity ipso facto outside of the Catholic Church.


                                                    "The Holy Canons (Rules) will be completely disregarded..."

"The Holy Canons will be completely disregarded... they will ridicule Christian simplicity; they will call it folly and nonsense, but they will have the highest regard for advanced knowledge, and for the skill by which the axioms of the law, the precepts of morality, the Holy Canons and religious dogmas are clouded by senseless questions and elaborate arguments. As a result, no principle at all, however holy, authentic, ancient, and certain it may be, will remain free of censure, criticism, false interpretation, modification, and delimitation by man[/b]." (Prophecy of Ven. Bartholomew Holzhauser, 17th Century)

"And the mass of the faithful shall attach itself to the worthy Shepherd, who shall extricate each one from error and restore to the Church its beauty. He shall renew it."

Yep. GOD WILL TAKE CARE of it.

I would just like to note, that many, many Catholics didn't know who the Pope was at any given time in the Church, yet, were still Catholics.

I plead the SAME IGNORANCE as they.

If a Jew had no intention to receive baptism then they were still a Jew [/b]

That's what the Inquisitions were meant to determine.  Such an individual would, however, have the character of Baptism, but just not the fruits of the Sacrament.  In the eyes of the Inquisition, however, such an individual would, technically, still be a Christian, albeit either a heretic and/or an apostate.
