I before E except after C the D.
I swear, on GOD, The Virgin Mary, all of Heaven, the Blood of Christ and the blood of the saints, and all that is holy, that the following answer is true
Your oath doesn't guarantee the veracity of your words; you
believe you are right, nothing more. But you believe all kinds of contradictions.
Kamayalka, you are asking some good questions!
1) There are two kinds of judgment: Juridical, which is a legal declaration from authority, and Epistemological, which is what we can know and how we can know it. No layperson has the right to proclaim that he has made a legal declaration, because he does not have authority. However, by discerning contradictions against the Holy Faith, we may certainly proclaim what we KNOW, which is the the doctrines coming out of the Vatican are contrary to what the Catholic Church has taught, and hence cannot not be teachings from the Catholic Church.
2), because Benedict XVI is a heretic and no pope.
3), If he's not Catholic, he's going to hell. Even if he calls himself Catholic but adheres to a false sect/professes a false religion, he's going to hell. This is the judgment we are admonished to make by Pius IX on many different occasions (cf. Pope Pius IX, Singulari Quadem, Graves Ac Diuturnae).
4), No. You are profess a false religion which teaches blasphemy about the office of the papacy, that it can be validly and licitly held by a heretic.
5) No sacrament of baptism=no salvation. Why else would it be designed by God to be so easily administered (in water, one of the most common substances on earth, and even heretics and pagans can baptize validly).
However, it is nothing more than idle speculation to propose that the Good Thief, St. Dismas was unbaptized or that he was uncircuмcised, and aside from that, the Law of Baptism was not promulgated until after Christ's passion and resurrection.
6) In His goodness, God brought Cornelius into the Catholic Faith
so that he could be saved. This is the principle of prevenient grace (cf. Trent Session 6, Chapter 5) for those who live according to the Natural Law but are not yet aware of the true Faith.
7) Prayers and sacrifices mean nothing in the order of
justice, that is to say they cannot MERIT anything from God, least of all eternal rewards, as the truth declares (cf. Council of Florence,
Cantate Domino). In other words God has not oathed himself to pagans, heretics, etc. but hasmade an oath to
Catholics that "...whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
However, this does not mean that God in His
mercy, however, will not occasionally grace a soul with such powerful prevenient grace that it is drawn into the one true Faith where it may begin to merit salvation.
Read St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa, First part of the Second part,
Question 114 on Merit.
8) Yes. A pope can become a heretic. But if you think he retains his office, that the force of Divine Law still binds Catholics to such a man's decrees and teachings, then you blaspheme the promise of Christ. How can you possibly say that the gates of hell have not prevailed over the Church if a heretic is the head of it? Absurd.
9) Obviously (to any good willed soul, anyway) the true Church is not one that recognizes as it's head one who has systematically and unapologetically dismantled the Faith by heresy.
10) Vernacular is a red herring. Church disciplines may change, so long as the proposed changes come from valid Church authority and they do not damage the deposit of Faith. Hence the focus should be the heretical doctrines coming out of the Vatican.
11) Rome and Vatican 2 must not be believed. Rome (the Roman Pontiff) was to be believed up until "Popes" began publicly uttering statements that are objectively heretical.
12) The Catholic Church has not approved NFP, only the counterfeit Church under the 20th century antipopes.
13) Where did the break from Apostolic Succession begin?
AD 1914.
