I read it, the whole refutation is based off the very first item, which is itself error.... "As we’ve already shown, it’s a dogma that 1) heretics are not members of the Church;"


Your rejection of that point is heresy in itself. Proving you don't even know what you're talking about.

Pope Innocent IV, First Council of Lyons, 1245: “The civil law declares that those are to be regarded as heretics, and ought to be subject to the sentences issued against them, who even on slight evidence are found to have strayed from the judgment and path of the Catholic religion.

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 3), June 29, 1896: “You are not to be looked upon as holding the true Catholic faith if you do not teach that the faith of Rome is to be held.”

(#9)
“The practice of the Church has always been the same, and that with the consenting judgment [i.e. consensus] of the holy fathers who certainly were accustomed to hold as having no part of Catholic communion and as banished from the Church whoever had departed in even the least way from the doctrine proposed by the authentic Magisterium.”

Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi (# 23), June 29, 1943: “For not every offense, although it may be a grave evil, is such as by its very own nature [suapte natura] to sever a man from the Body of the Church [ab Ecclesiae Corpore], as does schism or heresy or apostasy.”

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Bull "Cantate Domino," 1441, ex cathedra: “It [the Holy Roman Church] condemns, rejects and anathematizes all thinking opposed and contrary things, and declares them to be aliens from the Body of Christ, which is the Church.

Canon 1325.2: “After the reception of baptism, if anyone, retaining the name Christian, pertinaciously denies or doubts something to be believed from the truth of divine and Catholic faith, [such a one is] a heretic; if he completely turns away from the Christian faith, [such a one is] an apostate; if finally he refuses to be under the Supreme Pontiff or refuses communion with the members of the Church subject to him, he is a schismatic.”
"Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." [Matt. 6:34]

"In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin." [Ecclus. 7:40]

The Magisterium doesn't teach that, prominent examples being the Catechism of Trent and the Catechism of Pius X.


Those catechisms are not the Magisterium! They are fallible docuмents and must be rejected in as much as the Magisterium teaches to the contrary (which it does on baptism). Here is what the Magisterium teaches on the sacrament of Baptism: Pope Paul III, The Council of Trent, Sess. 7, Can. 5 on the Sacrament of Baptism, ex cathedra: “If anyone says that baptism [the Sacrament] is optional, that is, not necessary for salvation (cf. Jn. 3:5): let him be anathema.”

How is this error? Do you believe heretics can be members of the Church?
I answered you in this post:
Catholics who are bad willed heretics are guilty of mortal sin because they deny a dogma or dogmas. To be forgiven of this sin of heresy, the penitent must go to confession and receive absolution from the priest for this  sin. Depending on the culpability and gravity of the sin, the nature of this sin makes this more unlikely to happen than with other mortal sins.

I answered you in this post:
Heretics are already considered bad-willed because of their heresy. If you're stretching "material heresy" beyond merely error on the part of an otherwise good-willed Catholic, then you are just wrong.

Sorry DL, it is you who do not know what you are talking about. As for me personally, I absolutely, completely and 100% agree, and submit too and with all the above teachings (except #9 Satis Cognitum, see below), and would have bolded the same text if I would have posted them.

Not sure where you got #9 Satis Cognitum from, that is a bad quote as it does appear that way in any version of Satis Cognitum that I can find  - -did you get it from the Dimonds? They've always been notorious for purposely misquoting so as to suit their narrative.

I can only find this for #9: "The practice of the Church has always been the same, as is shown by the unanimous teaching of the Fathers, who were wont to hold as outside Catholic communion, and alien to the Church, whoever would recede in the least degree from any point of doctrine proposed by her authoritative Magisterium."

As for #3 Satis Cognitum, the pope(s) fully believes that he teaches the faith of Rome.

Your quote literally says the same thing as their quote. It doesn't mean anything different simply because they use "banished" instead of "alien". Both terms mean outside, foreign, not a part of. The fact that you're now sinking to criticizing a divergence in translation of both shows that you are trying to avoid the clear message: heretics are outside of the Church. They are not Catholics.

The so-called Pope's personal belief that he teaches the faith of Rome still doesn't change the objective fact of his heresies and apostasy. You're either less intelligent than you make yourself out to be, or, you know this and are of such a bad will that you don't care because it does not fit your heresy that heretics are part of the Church.

Of course ALL those who who preach contrary to Catholic doctrine, regardless of who is doing the preaching are absolutely and certainly to be regarded as heretics - no sense arguing that point further since we all agree with this truth. Ok?

The issue is not who is a heretic because presumably, we all agree the that all of the conciliar popes were all heretics, including the current pope, pope Francis.

Yes, so tell me then, if Francis is a heretic, how can he hold ANY office IN the Church if he is outside the body?
How can he COMMAND in the Church if he is outside of it? (Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum)

Where did you get that quote? That's the question. 
From MHFM, I'm drawing from the links I provided earlier in the thread. Again, just because they use a different translation (or even maybe translated it themselves) does not change the fact that they say the same exact thing.

You are wrong on both accounts. I will attempt to explain....

My presumption is that since you quoted Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi (# 23), you agree that:
Heresy is a mortal sin. 

We know that all mortal sin severs from the Church, i.e adultery, murder, pride, and so on - but as PPXII said, due to it's nature, none sever like the mortal sin of heresy, (and apostacy and schism). Pope Pius XII is talking about the nature of the sin. Obviously you will agree the nature of the sin of heresy makes this sin the worst or among the worst.

The Church always calls upon all of her children to confess their mortal sins, do penance and amend their life.

For the Catholic who has fallen into mortal sin, (in this case the mortal sin of heresy), like all Catholics, he can receive the Sacrament of Penance and his mortal sin of heresy will be forgiven. Certainly the Catholic who fell into the mortal sin of heresy is in a much more serious spiritual condition than the Catholic who is in the state of lesser mortal sin, but neither is in the woeful condition of those who are outside the Church for the simple fact that one who is not a Catholic cannot receive the Sacraments.

I completely realize this truth is contrary to what sedes think, and in order to maintain your deep seated belief, you will need to deny the above truth - so let's hear it.

edit to add....I will be back later, real life is calling.

Wow, I am utterly astounded at your attempt to skirt around the issue here. The problem is not that heretics cannot repent and go to confession, but pertinacious heretics (those without any repentance whatsoever, such as your "Popes") because they believe they are right (like yourself) remain firmly outside of the Church and lose all office and authority as has been shown thousands of times.

Your "Popes" remain pertinacious and therefore outside of the sheepfold, therefore, again, cannot command or possess any Catholic office.

By your explanation Lutherans, Calivinists, Methodists, Eastern "Orthodox" et all are Catholics because they can renounce their heresy and return to the Church. Which is literally what the Modernist heretics teach.

Your anti-logic also implies that schismatics and apostates, who have been baptized (as only the baptized can be heretics, apostates and schismatics), cannot repent and enter the Church as well. Your point doesn't make sense because you're being entirely dishonest and don't have the truth.

Stubborn twists Pius XII around to be saying the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he actually meant and then has the audacity to accuse the sedes of distorting it.

What Pius XII is saying is precisely that Heresy and Schism are NOT LIKE other mortal sin.  Stubborn falsely alleges that "all mortal sin severs from the Church".  That's a blatant lie and the opposite of what Pius XII was teaching.  "Ordinary" (aka non-heresy/schism) mortal sin deprives the soul of life and makes the sinner a DEAD member of the Church, but he remains a member just the same.  With Heresy and Schism, these sins, unlike the other mortal sins, DO sever from the BODY of the Church.

Dead members of the Church continue to be part of the body of the Church and therefore can exercise authority and jurisdiction.  Non-members, such as those severed by heresy and schism, CANNOT exercise authority in the Church.

This is absolutely astonishing that Stubborn twists Pius XII into saying the exact opposite of what he was actually teaching.

Will his fellow R&R have the honesty to correct his malicious stupidity?

Manifest Heretics in the external forum are required to make an abjuration of heresy before they can be admitted back to the Sacraments.  Those who commit heresy in the internal forum (e.g. occult heretics) can simply go to Confession.  In terms of membership in the Church, there's a huge difference  between a manifest heretic and an occult heretic.  Occult heresy, as per St. Robert Bellarmine, does not sever from the Church, whereas manifest heresy does.

No, I am not skirting around the issue, I am merely pointing out your errors, errors which you rely on to support your narrative.

First you said  "heretics are outside of the Church. They are not Catholics." This is false as I just showed you - and apparently you now agree? - because now you just said above: "The problem is not that heretics cannot repent and go to confession..."

If they've never had the faith, then Lutherans, Calivinists, Methodists, Eastern "Orthodox" et all are *not* Catholics, so no, they are not permitted to go to confession because those heretics are outside of the Church.

So knowing that only Catholics can use the sacrament of confession, can Catholics guilty of the mortal sin of heresy and want to repent go to confession or not?

Again, you are off the mark. It is the Church's logic that says one who is Catholic - which of course means one who is baptized and believes all the Church teaches and believes in the Church - and who commits the mortal sins of heresy will be forgiven of those sins in the Sacrament of Penance if he wants to repent of those sins. Indeed,  the Church urges all Catholics who fall into whatever mortal sin, including the sin of heresy, to get to confession because they must go to confession if they want to repent and be forgiven.

The problem is, as PPXII said, the nature of the sins of heresy. Due to the nature of this sin it will be very unlikely for the heretic to even think about seeking forgiveness.

This is just basic Catholic truth, if it does not make sense to you then the truth does not make sense to you.
