John Paul II taught universal salvation, that all men will be saved
The only difficulty in discussing the heresies of John Paul II is deciding where to begin. His heresies are so numerous that one is almost overwhelmed with the decision of where to start. A good place to begin is his consistent teaching of universal salvation. The idea that all men are saved is contrary to the clear words of the Gospel and numerous Catholic dogmas, especially the dogmas that Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation and that all who die in original sin or mortal sin cannot be saved.
Pope Gregory X, 2
nd Council of Lyons, 1274, ex cathedra:
"The souls of those who die in mortal sin or with original sin only… immediately descend into Hell, yet to be punished with different punishments."
However, John Paul II held and taught that in the Incarnation, the Son of God united Himself with every man in an unbreakable union, which made it impossible according to him, for anyone to go to Hell. John Paul II explicitly taught that this union between Christ and each man lasts forever.
John Paul II,
Redemptor Hominis (#13), March 4, 1979:
"
We are dealing with each man, for each one is included in the mystery of the Redemption and with each one Christ has united himself forever through this mystery." John Paul II,
Redemptoris Missio (#4), December 7, 1990:
"
The Redemption even brings salvation to all, 'for each one is included in the mystery of the Redemption and with each one Christ has united himself forever through this mystery.'"
John Paul II,
Centesimus Annus (#53): "We are not dealing here with man in the 'abstract,' but with the real, 'concrete.' 'historical' man. We are dealing with
each individual, since each one is included in the mystery of the Redemption and
through this mystery Christ has united himself with each one forever." Notice the word "forever" in all three of these quotations. Yes, in three different encyclicals, John Paul II bluntly asserts that every man is united with Christ
forever. This means that all men are saved. Hell is eternal separation from God, but no one is ever separated from God according to John Paul II. Everyone is united with God forever. This is universal salvation.
There are many other quotations we could bring forward to prove that John Paul II taught that all men are saved. For example, in 1985, John Paul II explained how the redemptive Blood of Christ is not merely available to all (which is true), but that it actually reaches all and
saves all. John Paul II,
Homily, June 6, 1985:
"
The Eucharist is the sacrament of the covenant of the Body and Blood of Christ, of the covenant which is eternal. This is the covenant which embraces all. This Blood reaches all and saves all.”
In contrast with this, the dogmatic teaching of the Catholic Church affirms that the Blood of Christ does not reach all or save all.
Pope Paul III,
Council of Trent, Sess. 6,
ex cathedra:"But although Christ died for all, yet not all receive the benefit of His death, but those only to whom the merit of His Passion is communicated." Only those who are freed from original sin by Baptism, and united to Him through the sacraments and the true faith, receive the benefit of Christ's death.
John Paul II,
Homily, April 27, 1980:
…
Jesus makes us, in Himself, once more sons of His Eternal Father. He obtains, once and for all, the salvation of man: of each man and of all…"
John Paul II,
General Audience, Dec. 27, 1978:
"Jesus is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity become a man; and therefore in Jesus, human nature and therefore the whole of humanity, is redeemed, saved, ennobled to the extent of participating in 'Divine life' by means of Grace." Here John Paul II explains that the whole of humanity has been saved and is participating in the Divine life. The phrase "participating in the Divine life" refers to the state of justification or the state of sanctifying Grace. By saying that all humanity participates in the Divine life, John Paul II is saying that all of humanity is in the state of Grace! This means that no one is in mortal sin or original sin.
With a doctrine such as his, who wouldn't be loved by the world? John Paul II appealed to and was loved by the masses, because he accepted everyone's religion and taught that everyone is united with Christ no matter what they believed or did. This religious indifferentism characterized his anti-pontificate.
John Paul II taught that the Holy Ghost is responsible for non-Christian Religions. Besides his incredible doctrine of universal salvation and universal justification, there are many other heresies from John Paul II for us to examine. Of particular note is his teaching on the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Ghost. What John Paul II taught about the Holy Ghost was so blasphemous and heretical that it was arguably his worst heresy.
John Paul II,
Redemptor Hominis (#6), March 4, 1979:
"Does it not sometimes happen that
the firm belief of the followers of the non-Christian religions —
a belief that is also an effect of the Spirit of truth operating outside the visible confines of the Mystical Body…"
John Paul II says that the firm belief of the followers of
non-Christian religions proceeds from the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. Since we know from Sacred Scripture and Catholic teaching that Satan is the author of all non-Christian religions, what is being stated here by John Paul II is that the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, is actually the Spirit of lies: Satan. This is an unbelievable blasphemy against God. Scripture and Tradition teach us that non-Christian religions belong to the devil, and the 'gods" they worship are actually demons.
Psalm 95:5 – "For all the God of the Gentiles are devils…"
1 Corinthians 10:20 – "But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils."
Since John Paul II taught that belief in these religions is a result of the Spirit of Truth, that is why he repeatedly praised, promoted and even prayed with the members and leaders of non-Christian religions.
John Paul II,
Redemptoris Missio (#29), Dec. 7, 1990:
"
The Church's relationship with other religions is dictated by a twofold respect: 'Respect for man in his quest for answers to the deepest questions of his life, and respect for the action of the Spirit in man."' Here John Paul II says that respect for non-Christian religions is dictated by respect for the action of the Spirit in man. This clearly means that the Spirit is responsible for these non-Christian religions, which again means that the Holy Spirit is to be understood as the Spirit of lies: Satan.
John Paul II,
Redemptoris Missio (#56), Dec 7, 1990:
"
Other religions constitute a positive challenge for the Church: they stimulate her both to discover and acknowledge the signs of Christ's presence and of the working of the Spirit." John Paul II states that other religions stimulate us to discover the presence and the working of the Spirit. This means that non-Christian religions are a work of the Spirit – the Holy Spirit – which again equates the Spirit of Truth with the Spirit of lies: Satan.
John Paul II taught and practiced complete Religious Indifferentism
Pope Pius IX,
Qui Pluribus (#15), Nov. 9, 1846:
"
Also perverse is that shocking theory that it makes no difference to which religion one belongs to, a theory greatly at variance even with reason. By manes of this theory, those crafty men remove all distinction between virtue and vice, truth and error, honorable and vile action. They pretend that men can gain eternal salvation by the practice of any religion, as if there could ever be any sharing between justice and iniquity, any collaboration between light and darkness, or any agreement between Christ and Belial." John Paul II's religious indifferentism was perhaps the most common characteristic of his volumes of writings and speeches. He constantly praised and esteemed non-Christian religions, thereby denying the Most Holy Trinity and the necessity of believing in the one true Catholic religion, while making a mockery of the deaths of the martyrs.
John Paul II,
Address at Airport in Korea, May 3, 1984:
"
Yours is a proud and sturdy people… bearing splendid fruits in art, religion, and human living. Your ancestors embraced such overwhelming spiritual worlds as Confucianism and Buddhism, yet made them truly their own, enhanced them, lived them and even transmitted them to others. Wonlryo and Sosan… eleoquently express this feat."
The word "feat" means an extraordinary act. So John Paul II says that the false religions of Buddhism and Confucianism are
splendid fruits in religion, and that it was an extraordinary act that the Koreans transmitted these religions of Satan to others!
Pope Gregory XVI,
Probe Nostis (#6), Sept. 18, 1840:
"
We are thankful for the success of apostolic missions in America, the Indies, and other faithless lands… They search out those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death to summon them to the light and life of the Catholic religion… At length they snatch them from the Devil's rule, by the bath of regeneration and promote them to the freedom of God's adopted sons." John Paul II at the Buddhist Temple
In his second Asian journey in 1984, John Paul II visited the Buddhist Temple. Before reaching the Temple, he expressed how anxious he was to meet "His Holiness, the supreme Buddhist Patriarch in the Temple." A few days before going to the Buddhist Temple, John Paul II also said:
John Paul II, May 6, 1984:
"
…the world looks to Korea with particular interest. For the Korean people throughout history have south, in the great ethical and religious visions of Buddhism and Confucianism, the path to renewal of self… May I address a particular greeting to the members of the Buddhist tradition as they prepare to celebrate the festivity of the Coming of the Lord Buddha? May your rejoicing be complete and your joy fulfilled." John Paul II then went into the temple of idolatry and bowed to the Buddhist Patriarch who stood in front of a gigantic statue of Buddha. This constitutes an act of apostasy.
John Paul II,
General Audience, Jan. 11, 1995:
"
I gladly take this occasion to assure those who follow the Buddhist religion of my deep respect and sincere esteem." Pope Leo XIII, Dec. 8, 1892:
"
Everyone should avoid familiarity or friendship with anyone suspected of belonging to masonry or to affiliated groups. Know them by their fruits and avoid them. Every familiarity should be avoided, not only with those impious libertines who openly promote the character of the sect, but also with those who hide under the mask of universal tolerance, respect for all religions…"
John Paul II,
Homily, April 12, 1997:
"…
the Church, which seeks only to be able to freely to preach… with respect for… every religion." John Paul Ii received the mark of the adorers of Shiva and venerated the Hindu Gandhi
On Feb. 2, 1986, John Paul II received on his forehead the
Tilac or
Tika, the red powdery paste of the Hindus, the sign of recognition of the adorers of Shiva. This is total idolatry and apostasy.
John Paul II venerated the Hindu Gandhi
In March of 1986, John Paul II went to New Delhi, India, the place where the Hindu Mahatma Gandhi was incinerated. Mahatma Gandhi was a pagan and an idolater who worshipped false gods.
John Paul II took off his shoes before Gandhi's monument and stated:
"
Today as a pilgrim of peace, I have come here to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi, hero of humanity." An idolater and pagan was a "hero of humanity," according to John Paul II.
As we see here, John Paul Ii also threw flowers on gandhi's tomb to honor and commemorate this pagan. St. Thomas Aquinas explains that just as there are heretical statements, there are heretical and apostate actions.
St. Thomas Aquinas,
Summa Theologica, Pt. I-II, Q. 103, A. 4:
"
All ceremonies are professions of faith, in which the interior worship of God consists. Now man can make profession of his inward faith, by deeds as well as by words: and in either profession, if he make a false declaration, he sins mortally." St. Thomas gives us an example:
St. Thomas Aquinas,
Summa Theologica, Pt. II-II, Q. 12. A. 1, Obj. 2:
"…
if anyone were to… worship at the tomb of Mahomet, he would be deemed an apostate."22 One can manifest his apostasy by words or by deeds. By what he did, in addition to what he said, John Paul II manifested the equivalent of worshipping at the tomb of Mahomet. He venerated a Hindu.
John Paul II's Apostasy in Assisi
On Oct. 27, 1986, John Paul II invited the major leaders of all the false religions of the world to come to Assisi, Italy for a World Day of Prayer for Peace. John Paul II prayed with other 100 different religious leaders of various false religions, thereby repudiating the teaching of Scripture and the 2000-year teaching of the Catholic Church which outlaws such prayer with false religions. The entire day of prayer with pagans, infidels and heretics was John Paul II's idea. During this meeting the Dalai Lama placed a Buddhist statue on the tabernacle in the Church of St. Francis.
Among the various false religious leaders at Assisi there were rabbis, Islamic muftis, Buddhist monks, Shintoists, assorted Protestant ministers, Animists, Jainists and others.
During the meeting, a member of each false religion came forward and offered a prayer for peace – blasphemous prayers, for instance, as the Hindu prayer said: "
Peace be on all god's." (The Animist leader prayed to the "Great Thumb.") But their gods are devils, as we saw above, so
peace was being prayed for all the devils (who created these false religions)
at the Vatican-sponsored World Day of Prayer for Peace! The Vatican II religion wants you to be in communion with devils.
In 1928 Pope Pius XI authoritatively condemned this inter-reigious activity and denounced it as apostasy from the true Faith.
Pope Pius XI,
Mortalium Animos (#2), Jan 6, 1928:
"
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. Pope Pius XI,
Mortalium Animos (#10), Jan 6, 1928:
"
So, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics…" John Paul II,
Angelus Address, Oct. 12, 1986:
"
In a few days we shall go to Assisi, representatives of the Catholic Church, of other Christian churches and ecclesial communities, and of the great religions of the world… I issued this invitation to 'believers of all religions.'” John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio (#55), Dec. 7, 1990:
"
God… does not fail to make himself present in many ways, not only to individuals but also to entire peoples through their spiritual riches, of which their religions are the main and essential expression…" Here again we find a clear expression of John Paul II's apostasy. He says that God makes Himself present through the
spiritual riches of peoples, of which
their religions are the main expression. This means that God makes Himself present to peoples through non-Christian religions, which means that non-Christian religions are true and inspired by God.
Pope Pius VIII, May 24, 1829:
"
Against these experienced sophists the people must be taught that the profession of the Catholic faith is uniquely true, as the Apostle proclaims: One Lord, one faith, one baptism." John Paul II,
Address, May 22, 2002:
"
Praise to you, followers of Islam… Praise to you, Jєωιѕн people… Praise especially to you, Orthodox Church…" Pope Gregory XVI,
Mirari Vos (#13), Aug. 15, 1832:
"
They should consider the testimony of Christ Himself that 'those who are not with Christ are against Him,' and that they disperse unhappily who do not gather with Him. Therefore 'without a doubt, they will perish forever, unless they hold the Catholic faith whole and inviolate.'" John Paul II,
Redemptoris Missio (#10), Dec. 7, 1990:
"
The universality of salvation means that it is granted not only to those who explicitly believe in Christ and have entered the Church." Pope Eugene IV,
Council of Florence, dogmatic Athanasian Creed, 1439:
"
Whoever wishes to be saved, needs above all to hold the Catholic faith; unless each one preserves this whole and inviolate, he will without a doubt perish in eternity… But it is necessary for eternal salvation that he faithfully believe also in the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ…"John Paul II's other ecuмenical meetings
John Paul II continued with his wild program of apostasy, totally condemned by the teaching of the Catholic Church, after the Assisi event. John Paul II sponsored pagan prayer meetings at Kyoto (1987), Rome (1988), Warsaw (1989), Bari (1990), and Malta (1991), as well as numerous meetings after 1991.
John Paul II being "Blessed" in a pagan ritual by an Indian Shaman in 1987. There was the outrageous pagan prayer meeting in 1999, which was officially dubbed "The Pan- Christan Encounter," at which a large gathering of false religions came to the Vatican at the request of John Paul II (more on this in a bit).
John Paul II prayed with African Animists
On August 8, 1985, John Paul II prayed with African Animists (witch doctors)
John Paul II recalled the meeting:
"
Particularly noteworthy was the prayer meeting at the sanctuary of Our Lady of Mercy at Lake Togo where, for the first time, I also prayed with a group of Animists." It has been stated that while in Togo he actually paid homage to the sacred snakes. In Cotonou, African on Feb. 4, 1993, chanting girls treated John Paul II to a "trance inducing" voodoo dance.
John Paul II has also taken part in many events, both in Rome and abroad, where a native pagan ritual is included. These rituals spring from cultures which are entirely demonic and satanic in every aspect of their organized religious practices, yet were included in many of John Paul II's liturgical events.
John Paul II's "Mass" in 2002 in Mexico City, which incorporated the customs of the demonic Aztec culture.
Aztec Indians danced before the altar wearing headdresses and breastplates and some left their midriff's exposed. As they performed, the snake-like hiss of rattles and the beating of tom-toms could be heard. John Paul II himself was actually the recipient of a pagan "purification" ritual which a woman performed.
The "Pan-Christian" Encourter;
John Paul II's Apostate Prayer meeting in 1999
Pictured on your right is John Paul II, surrounded by an assorted group of pagans and idolaters, including one half-dressed, on Nov 7, 1999 – at another one of his countless apostate inter-religious prayer meetings. Notice the masked pagan just behind John Paul II on our left and his right. John Paul Ii praised them and esteemed them for their false religions of the Devil. This is nothing other than general occultism.
This meeting was called the "Pan-Christian Encourter." This is interesting considering that, in his encyclical
Mortalium Animos, Pope Pius XI described the heretics who promoted religious indifferentism as "
These Pan-Christians…" Some of the things that occurred during John Paul II's October 1999 pan-religious meeting included: an American Indian pivoting in the center of St. Peter's Square at sunset "blessing the four corners of the Earth," and Muslims who had spread out newspaper at the Vatican kneeling toward Mecca and praying.
Pope Leo X,
Fifth Lateran Council, Session 9, May 5, 1514:
"
Sorcery, by means of enchantments, divinations, superstitions and the invoking of demons, is prohibited by both civil laws and the sanctions of the sacred canons." John Paul II's Assisi Prayer-Meeting with False Religions
- another apostate prayer meeting in 2002
Most recently there was the spectacle of Assisi 2002. On January 24, 2002 John Paul II held another pagan prayer meeting in this city of Assisi Italy a repeat of the abominable event that took place in 1986. However, this Assisi meeting may have been even worse.
During the Assisi II prayer meeting, a representative of every false religion involved was allowed to come to the pulpit and give a sermon on world peace.
In the presence of John Paul II of voodoo high priest came to the pulpit outside the Basilica of Saint Frances and gave the voodoo prescription for world peace. (Voodooists, remember, are witch doctors). Therefore, by John Paul II's arrangement, from a pulpit outside the historic Basilica of St Francis, a witchdoctor was allowed to give a sermon and provide his prescription for world peace! This would involve slitting the throats of goats, chickens, doves and pigeons, and draining their blood from their arteries.
The Hindu woman told the entire crowd that everyone is God, as John Paul II looked on. After the Jew, the Buddhist, the Muslim, the Hindu, the witchdoctor and the rest were finished preaching, the various false religious leaders broke up into different rooms to pray to their false gods.
John Paul II had arranged in advance that each false religion was given a separate room in which to worship the devil.
All of the crucifixes were removed, and the crucifixes which could not be removed were covered. John Paul II made sure that the infidels, witchdoctors and pagans saw no sign of Jesus Christ.
The Muslims needed a Rome which faced east toward Mecca, and it was given to them. The Zoroastrians needed a room with a window, so that the smoke from the wood chips that they burned to the devil could exit through it – and it was given to them. The Jews wanted a room that had never before been blessed; in other words, a room that had never been blessed in the name of Jesus Christ, and John Paul II provided them with one. Greater abomination, blasphemy and rejection of the true God almost cannot be imagined.
The Council of Elvira, A.D. 305:
"
It has been decreed that those who in adult age after receiving baptism shall go into the pagan Temples to worship of idols, which is in deadly crime and the height of wickedness, shall not be admitted to communion even at death." As we see from this regional council, in the early Church going into the pagan temple (which John Paul II did in Thailand) to worship idols was considered the height of wickedness. It represented such apostasy from the faith that those
who even repented of it were only admitted to confession (not Communion). If going into the pagan temple was considered such severe apostasy,
what would they say about a purported leader of the Church who turns the Catholic Churches themselves into pagan temples so that the pagans can worship false gods in them? The would undoubtedly consider it the height of apostasy.
Pope Pius XI,
Ad Salutem (#27), April 20, 1930:
"…
all the compulsion and folly, all the outrages and lust, introduced into man's life by the demons through the worship of false gods."John Paul II's Apostasy with the Muslims
On May 14, 1999 John Paul II bowed to and kissed the Koran. The Koran he is the Muslims holy book which blasphemes the most Holy Trinity and denies the divinity of Jesus Christ. To revere the holy book of a false religion has always been considered an act of apostasy – a complete rejection of the true religion. This act alone made John Paul II an apostate; for it is equivalent to worshipping at the tomb of Mahomet, which St Thomas points out would make what an apostate.
St. Thomas Aquinas,
Summa Theologica, Pt. II, Q. 12, A. 1, Obj. 2:
"…
If anyone were to… worship at the tomb of Mahomet, he would be deemed an apostate." During his visit to Germany on November 17, 1980, John Paul II encouraged the Muslims to "
live your faith also in a foreign land…"
In February of 2000, John Paul II met with the Islamic "Grand Sheikh" Mohammed. John Paul II committed another act of apostasy in his speech to the Muslims.
John Paul II, Message to "Grand Sheikh Mohammed," Feb. 24, 2000:
"Islam is a religion. Christianity is a religion. Islam has become a culture. Christianity has become also a culture… of thank your university, the biggest center of Islamic culture.
I thank those who are developing Islamic culture…"
John Paul II thanked those who develop Islamic culture!
He thanked the infidels for developing a culture which denies Jesus Christ, the Trinity and the Catholic faith on a massive scale, and keeps hundreds of millions in the darkness of the devil. Of all the evil things in the world that one can think of, Islamic culture probably ranks in the top five of the most evil.
Pope Callixus III:
"I vow to… exalt true faith, and to extirpate
the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet (Islam) in the East."
The middle ages were a constant spiritual and physical battle between the Christian west and the Islamic hordes. The statement in John Paul II constitutes a rejection of Jesus Christ and formal apostasy. No Catholic would ever make such a statement even one time.
John Paul II asked St. John the Baptist to protect Islam
On March 21, 2000, John Paul II asked St. John the Baptist to protect Islam (the religion of the Muslims), which denies Christ and Trinity, and keeps hundreds of millions of souls in the darkness of the devil.
John Paul II, March 21, 2000:
"
May St. John the Baptist protect Islam and all the people of Jordan…" This is to ask St. John to protect the denial of Christ and the damnation of souls.
On April 12, 2000, John Paul II met with the king of Morocco, a descendant of the false prophet of Islam, Mohammed.
John Paul II asked him, "You are a descendant of the prophet, aren't you?"
John Paul II's Apostasy in the Mosque
On May 6, 2001, John Paul II culminated his years-worth of apostasy with the Muslims by traveling to and attending the "Great Umayyad Mosque" of Damascus. While in the mosque, John Paul II actually took off his shoes out of reverence for the temple of infidelity.
We see John Paul II in the "Great Umayyad Mosque" of Damascus on May 6, 2001 with the infidel Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ahmad Kfutaro. While in the mosque, John Paul II was also seated in a chair identical to that of the infidel Grand Mufti. Here is the statement that John Paul II made to the Muslims that day:
John Paul II,
Speech to the Muslims from the Mosque, May 6, 2001:
"
It is in mosques and churches that the Muslim and Christian communities shape their religious and identity… What sense of identity is instilled in young Christians and young Muslims in our churches and mosques? It is my ardent hope that Muslim and Christian religious leaders and teachers will present our two great communities in respectful dialogue, never more as communities in conflict." It's very interesting to note that the "Omayyad" caliphate (a line of Muslim rulers), after which that particular mosque that John Paul II attended is named, was a line of Muslim rulers that was hugely involved in waging war on Catholic Spain in the 700-year war of Muslims vs. Christians in Spain.
"Abdurrahman the last survivor of the Omayyads had become the ruler of Muslim Spain about the time that Fruela became the ruler of Christian Spain; by 759 the two kings clashed in Galicia."
The fact that the mosque he attended was named after a group that is so representative of the anti Christianity just adds insult to his apostasy. The blood of all the faithful Catholics who died fighting the Omayyads for the very survival of Christians Spain cries out against him.
Apocalypse 17:6 – "And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the Saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered when I had seen her…"
John Paul II teaches that Muslims and Catholics have the same God
Earlier in the book, we covered Vatican II's heretical teaching that Catholics and Muslims together worship the one true God. John Paul II repeated this heresy of Vatican II countless times.
John Paul II,
Encyclical On Social Concerns (#47), Dec. 30, 1987:
"…
Muslims who, like us, believe in the just and merciful God." John Paul II
, Homily, Oct. 13, 1989:
"…
the followers of Islam who believe in the same good and just God."
John Paul II,
Homily, Jan. 28, 1990:
"…Our Muslim brothers and sisters… who worship as we do the one and merciful God."
John Paul II,
General Audience, May 16, 2001
"…
the believers of Islam, to whom we are united by the adoration of the one God." John Paul II,
General Audience, May 5, 1999:
"Today I would like to repeat what I said to young Muslims some years ago in Casablanca: '
We believe and the same God…'" This is blasphemy an apostasy. Muslims reject the most Holy Trinity. They don't worship the one true God. By asserting that Muslims and Catholics believe in the same God over and over again, John Paul II denied the most Holy Trinity over and over again. Furthermore, one is struck by the specificity with which John Paul II (just like Vatican II) denied Jesus Christ in many of these quotations. For example:
John Paul II,
New Catechism (paragraph 841):
"…
Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day," Here we find John Paul II's catechism teaching that the Muslims' god (who is not Jesus Christ) When judge mankind on the last day. This means Jesus Christ will not judge mankind on the last day, but rather than God whom the Muslims worship will. This is a denial of the second coming of Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead .
Pope St. Damasus I,
Council of Rome, 382, Can. 15:
"
If anyone does not say that He Jesus Christ… will come to judge the living and the dead, he is a heretic." John Paul II's Apostasy with the Jews
On April 13, 1986,John Paul II traveled to the Jєωιѕн ѕуηαgσgυє in Rome.
Here we see John Paul II arriving at the Jєωιѕн ѕуηαgσgυє in Rome in 1986, where he took part in a Jєωιѕн worship service. In taking part in a Jєωιѕн worship service, John Paul II committed a public act of apostasy, and showed again that he was a manifest heretic and an apostate. Notice that John Paul II and the rabbi greeted each other is if they were long lost best friends. During his stay at the ѕуηαgσgυє, John Paul II bowed his head as the Jews praying for the coming of their "Messiah."
This incredible act of apostasy by John Paul II was directly connected to his heretical teaching that the Old Covenant is still in force. The Catholic Church teaches that with the coming of Jesus Christ and the promulgation of the gospel, the Old Covenant (and that is, the agreement made between God and the Jews through the mediation of Moses) ceased, and was replaced with the new covenant of our Lord Jesus Christ. It's true that some aspects of the Old Covenant are still valid because they are included in the new and eternal covenant of Jesus Christ, such as the 10 Commandments; but the old covenant itself (the agreement between God and the Jєωιѕн people) ceased with the coming of the Messiah.
Therefore, to say that the Old Covenant is still valid is to assert that Judaism is a true religion and that Jesus Christ is not really the Messiah. It is also to deny defined Catholic dogma, such as the teaching of the Council of Florence , which defined
ex cathedra the true that the Old Law is now dead and that those who attempt to practice it (namely, the Jews) cannot be saved.
Pope Eugene IV,
Council of Florence, Papal Bull,
Cantate Domino 1441,
ex cathedra:"The Holy Roman Catholic Church firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart “into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels” [Matt. 25:41], unless before the end of life the same have been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong that only to those remaining in it are the sacraments of the Church of benefit for salvation, and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of Christian service produce eternal reward, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church. Pope Benedict XIV reiterated this dogma in his encyclical
Ex Quo Primum. Pope Benedict XIV,
Ex Quo Primum (#61):
"
The first consideration is that the ceremonies of the Mosaic Law were abrogated by the coming of Christ and that they can no longer be observed without sin after the promulgation of the Gospel." Pope Pius XII,
Mystici Corporis Christi (#'s 29-30), June 29, 1943:
"And first of all, by the death of our Redeemer, the New Testament took the place of the Old Law which had been abolished… on the gibbet of his death Jesus made void the Law with its decrees [Eph. 2:15]… establishing the New Testament in His blood shed for the whole human race. 'To such an extent, then,' says St. Leo the Great, speaking of the Cross of our Lord, “was there effected a transfer from the Law to the Gospel, from the ѕуηαgσgυє to the Church, from many sacrifices to one Victim, that, as our Lord expired, that mystical veil which shut off the innermost part of the temple and its sacred secret was rent violently from top to bottom.' On the Cross then the Old Law died, soon to be buried and to be a bearer of death…"
John Paul II repeatedly repudiated this dogma, in word and deed – a dogma taught by the Catholic Church for 2000 years, defined infallibly by the Council of Florence, and affirmed clearly by Popes Benedict XIV and Pius XII.
In an address to Jews in Mainz, West Germany, Nov. 17, 1980, John possible of "
the old covenant never revoked by God…" Pope Benedict XIV,
Ex Quo Primum (#59), March 1, 1756:
"
However they are not attempting to observe the precepts of the Old Law which as everyone knows have been revoked by the coming of Christ." We see here that Pope Benedict XIV condemns the heresy taught by John Paul II, that the Old Covenant has never been revoked by God! John Paul II repeated the same bold heresy in a 1997 speech:
John Paul II,
Meeting on the Roots of Anti-Semitism, 1997:
"This people [the Jєωιѕн people] has been called and led by God, creator of Heaven and earth. Their existence then is not a mere natural or cultural happening… it is a supernatural one. This people continues in spite of everything to be the people of the covenant." It's important to note that the Vatican II sect's of "Archbishop" of Strasbourg, France, Joseph Dore, recalled with glee John Paul II's aforementioned heresy on the Old Covenant, which John Paul II uttered in the speech in Mainz, West Germany and elsewhere. Notice that "Archbishop" Dore admits that Vatican II changed the traditional teaching of the Church on the cessation of the Old Covenant.
Archbishop Joseph Dore of Strasbourg, France,
Speech to B'nai B'rith (Jєωιѕн Freemasons), August, 2003:
"
Whatever the depiction [of the Jews in traditional Catholic art]… the theological message is the same – Gods election has now passed to the Christian people; and the Church, the true Israel, may triumph, she who confesses the seeding truth brought by Christ. "
At Vatican II, The Catholic Church finally revised this teaching and understood to what extent it contradicts the bible itself… In 1973, the French Episcopacy, particularly under the influence of Msgr. Elchinger, [past] Bishop of Strasbourg, published a docuмent of unparalleled moral force on ʝʊdɛօ-Christian relations, while John Paul II recalled on numerous occasions the permanence of the first covenant [Ed. The Old Covenant], 'which was never revoked' by God [John Paul II II, Mainz, W. Germany, 1980]. Today we desire to work together with our elder brothers toward reconciliation in fraternal dialogue. Yet we must have the humility to recognize that the doctrine of contempt and the theology of substitution – making the Church to be the new and only Israel of God – still penetrate the minds of a large number." In fact, John Paul II teaches the same heresy on the Old Covenant in his new catechism, again directly opposed to Catholic dogma.

Commemoration of the Jєωιѕн ѕуηαgσgυє
John Paul II,
Message to Chief Rabbi of Rome, May 23, 2004:
"
To the most distinguished Dr. Riccardo Di Segni, Chief Rabbi of Rome. Shalom! With deep joy I join the Jєωιѕн Community of Rome which is celebrating the centenary [100th anniversary] of the Great ѕуηαgσgυє in Rome, a symbol and a reminder of the millennial presence in this city of the people of the Covenant of Sinai. For more than 2000 years your community has been an integral part of life in the city; it can boast of being the most ancient Jєωιѕн community in Western Europe and of having played an important role in spreading Judaism on this continent.
Today's commemoration, therefore, acquires a special significance… Since I am unable to attend in person, I have asked my Vicar General Camillo Ruini, to represent me; he is accompanied by Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Holy See's Commission for Relations with the Jews. They formally express my desire to be with you this day. "
In offering you my respectful greeting, distinguished Dr. Riccardo di Segni, I extend my cordial thoughts to all the members of the community, to their president, Mr. Leone Elio Paserman, and to all who are gathered to witness once again to the importance and vigor of the religious patrimony that is celebrated every Saturday in the Great ѕуηαgσgυє of Rome… Today's celebration, in whose joy we all readily join, recalls the first century of this majestic ѕуηαgσgυє. It stands on the banks of the Tiber, witnessing with the harmony of its architectural lines to faith and to praise of the almighty. The Christian Community of Rome, through the successor of Peter, joins you in thanking the Lord for this happy occasion [the 100th anniversary of the ѕуηαgσgυє!]. As I said during the visit I mentioned, we greet you as our 'beloved brothers' in the faith of Abraham, our Patriarch… you continue to be the first-born people of the Covenant (Liturgy of Good Friday, General Intercessions, For the Jєωιѕн People)… [These friendly relations] saw us united in commemorating the victims of the Shoah [deceased Jews who did not accept Christ], especially those who were wrenched from their families and from your beloved Jєωιѕн Community in Rome in October 1943 and interned in Auschwitz. May their memory be blessed and induce us to work as brothers and sisters… …
the Church has not hesitated to express deep sorrow at the 'failures of her sons and daughters in every age' and, in an act of repentance, has asked forgiveness for their responsibility connected in any way with the scourges of anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism… Today… we are addressing a fervent prayer to the Eternal one, to the God of Shalom, so that enmity and hatred may no longer overpower those who turn to our Father, Abraham – Jews, Christians and Muslims… "Our meeting today is, as it were, in preparation for your imminent solemnity of Shavu'ot and of our Pentecost which proclaim the fullness of our respective paschal celebrations. May these feasts see us united in praying David's paschal Hallel." (L'Osservatore Romano, June 2, 2004, p. 7)
Here is a brief summary of John Paul II II's 2004 message in commemoration of the ѕуηαgσgυє: He joins the Jєωιѕн community in commemorating the 100
th anniversary of the ѕуηαgσgυє – apostasy.
He says this Jєωιѕн community can boast of being the most ancient ѕуηαgσgυє in Western Europe and of having spread Judaism – total apostasy.
He formally expresses his desire that he could have been with them, in the ѕуηαgσgυє, commemorating it – apostasy.
He praises the importance and the vigor of the religion that is celebrated every Saturday in Rome – apostasy. The word "vigor" means "
Active physical strength or energy; flourishing physical condition, vitablity; mental or moral strength, force or energy." Thus, he is telling them again that their Covenant with God is valid, flourishing, in force.
Oh behalf of the entire Christian Community in Rome, as supposed "successor of St. Peter," he formally thanks the Lord for the 100 years of the ѕуηαgσgυє! – apostasy!
He greets the Jews as beloved brothers of the faith of Abraham, which is another total denial of Christ, as Scripture teaches that only those who are of Christ have the faith of Abraham.
Galatians 3:14 – "
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith." Galatians 3:29"And if you be Christ's; then you are the seed of Abraham." Pope St. Gregory the Great (+c. 590):
"…if you are Christ's then you are the seed of Abraham (Gal. 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. Leo the Great, Dogmatic Letter to Flavian (449), read at Council of Chalcedon (451), ex cathedra:
"The promises were spoken to Abraham and his seed. He does not say "to his seeds" – as if referring to multiplicity – but to a single one, 'and to thy seed,' which is Christ (Gal. 3:16) He states that the Jews "continue to be the first-born people of the Covenant," quoting the Good Friday prayer of the New Mass, which prays that the Jews "continue" in faithfulness to God's Covenant. John Paul II is blatantly teaching, once again, that the Jews' Covenant with God is still valid – bold heresy. He commemorates those who died as Jews and says that their memory should be blessed – heresy.
On behalf of "the Church," he repents for any anti-Judiasm – apostasy. This would include the Church's anti-Jєωιѕн dogma that Jews who die without conversion to Catholicism go to Hell,
and therefore need to be converted and saved. He is mocking Our Lord and the Church. This speech ranks right near the top of John Paul II's blasphemies and heresies. John Paul II was totally in favor of the denial of Christ; he clearly taught that the Old Covenant is still valid; he totally denied Jesus Christ and the Catholic Faith; he put his apostasy right in the world's face. Those who hold that this manifest heretic and apostate was a Catholic,
while aware of these facts, and refuse to denounce him as a heretic, are truly enemies of God.
1 John 2:22"Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son."
John Paul II's best-friend, Jerzy Kluger, was a Jew
Of course, John Paul II never tried to convert Kluger. Kluger explicitly states that John Paul II II never gave him the slightest indication that he wanted to convert him. Rather, Kluger credits his life-long relationship with John Paul II with making him "feel more Jєωιѕн." As a youth, John Paul II played soccer goalie on the Jєωιѕн squad with Kluger; they played against the Catholics. In a letter to Kluger on March 30, 1989, regarding the destruction of a ѕуηαgσgυє during World War II, John Paul II wrote the following:
"I venerate… also this place of worship [the ѕуηαgσgυє], which the invaders destroyed." This is blunt apostasy. By venerating the ѕуηαgσgυє, John Paul II is venerating the Jews' denial that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. But Jerzy Kluger was not the only Jew who was made to feel more Jєωιѕн by John Paul II. There is the Jєωιѕн maestro, Gilbert Levine.
John Paul II with a Jєωιѕн maestro
Levine noted that, in their man-year relationship, John Paul II never gave him the slightest indication that he wanted to convert him. Levine also noted publicly that, after getting to know John Paul II, he returned to the practice of Judaism. John Paul II asked Levine to conduct a concert in the Vatican to commemorate the h0Ɩ0cαųst. Levine agreed, and with Antipope John Paul II in attendance the concert took place in the Vatican.
All the crucifixes were covered. At the left John Paul II seated next to the Jєωιѕн Rabbi for the h0Ɩ0cαųst Concert (a Jєωιѕн Prayer Service) in the Vatican
The concert began with "Kol Nidre," the prayer sung on the holiest day of the Jєωιѕн calendar. A few of the many Jews in attendance also lit candles during the ceremony, which quickly became a Jєωιѕн religious service in the Vatican. After the concern Levine remarked:
"It was like I was in a Jєωιѕн liturgical service in the Vatican. It was a night of prayer… of Jєωιѕн prayer."
After the concert John Paul II called for Levine to receive the Vatican Knighthood. Levine because a Knight Commander of the Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great.
John Paul II chose "Cardinal" Lustiger of Parish to bestow the honor. Lustiger himself, who was raised a Jew, stated in a 1981 interview:
"I am a Jew. For me the two religions are one." The honor that John Paul II had bestowed on Levine is one of the very highest that can be received by laymen.
Gilbert Levine revealed the full depths of John Paul II's apostasy in an interview on Larry King Live, April 4, 2005.
During the interview on CNN's Larry King Live, April 4, 2005, Gilbert Levine revealed that John Paul II:
· Sent each of his sons letters to congratulate them for their bar mitzvahs;
· That John Paul II himself gave his family a Jєωιѕн menorah;
· That John Paul II had "Cardinal" Kasper send the Levine's a letter on the occasion of the bar mitzvah that was "astounding," which told them to be proud of their Jєωιѕн heritage and live it out to the full, and that the letter was so Jєωιѕн that the rabbi said it was from a rabbi, when it was actually from Kasper at the behest of John Paul II.
This proves that John Paul II officially encouraged the practice of Judaism; that he officially encouraged the denial of Christ; that he officially helped people practice the Old Covenant; and that he celebrated their observance of the of the Jєωιѕн religion with them. In light of these facts, anyone who says that John Paul II was not a non-Catholic apostate simply denies Jesus Christ – period.
Here is an excerpt from the interview on CNN's Larry King Live:
KING: How much of music did he understand?
LEVINE: Wonderfully. So much so that I, as a Jєωιѕн conductor, suggested for that 1994 concert that I do a work of Mahler. And he said, "didn't Mahler convert to Catholicism to become the music director of the Vienna Philharmonic?" I as a musician didn't – didn't think of that. It's not that I didn't know it, I didn't think of it. That's the kind of sensitivity he had to Jєωιѕн issues. And he wanted to broaden it out. And what happened was he felt like it was a – music could be a vehicle for inter-faith dialogue.
KING: The pope congratulated your children's bar mitzvahs?
LEVINE: Not only congratulate us, he sent us a menorah.
KING: He sent you a menorah?
LEVINE: He gave it to us, actually, didn't send it. Actually gave us a menorah. I think it's from the 16
th century in Prague. It's the most beautiful menorah. He sent a letter on the occasion of each of my Son's bar mitzvahs. He also had the cardinal in charge of Catholic/Jєωιѕн relations send a letter that was read out in my Orthodox shul on the occasion of my Son's recent bar mitzvah, and the rabbi read it as if it were from a rabbi. At the end, it said, "it's by Rabbi Joel Schwartz." He said, but it wasn't by Rabbi Joel Schwartz. It was by Rabbi – by Cardinal Kasper. It was astounding. It was a letter that said, you should be proud of your Jєωιѕн heritage and live it out to its full.
KING: Where have you been? Why have we just found you? You conduct all over?
LEVINE: Yes. I conduct all over, and I conduct for him in the Vatican many times. I conducted also for him at World Youth Day in Denver. Me, conducting for Catholic youth? Andon that occasion, he came over to me and disrupted the entire performance, put his arm around me and said, did I disturb you, Maestro? And he had in fact stopped the whole show.
KING: Are you going to the funeral?
LEVINE: Of course. I am leaving tomorrow morning. And I will be at the funeral. I couldn't not be there." - End of excerpt from interview 66
Notice that Gilbert Levine wanted to use the music of the former Jew, Mahler, for the concert, but John Paul II discouraged it by pointing out that Mahler was a Jew who concerted to Catholicism!
John Paul II Praying at the Wailing Wall
On March 26, 2000, John Paul II prayed at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The Western Wall is the stone remnant of the Jєωιѕн Temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed by the Roman's in 70 A.D. The Jews pray at the Western Wall as the holiest site in Judaism.
At the left side John Paul II praying at the Wailing or Western Wall in Jerusalem.
The destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D., leaving only the Western Wall, has always been understood by Catholics to signify God's judgment on the Jews. The destruction of the Temple prevented Jews from being able to offer sacrifice, which meant that their religion had come to an end. The destruction of the Temple was God's powerful sign to the Jews that the Messiah had come, that the Old Covenant had ceased, and that the Temple had been replaced by the Catholic Church.
So when a Jew prays at the Western Wall, or leaves a prayer there, it is a denial that Jesus is the Messiah; it is an affirmation that he holds that the Old Covenant is still in force; and it is a pitiful and sad attempt to ignore God's very obvious sign that the Jews must abandon the destroyed Temple and enter the Catholic Church. So when John Paul II himself prayed at the Western Wall in March of 2000, it was an attempt to validate Judaism. It was a denial that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, an indication that he holds that the Old Covenant is still in force, and a mockery of God's clear sign that the Jews must abandon the destroyed Temple and enter the Catholic Church. One informed commentator pointed out that, when John Paul II prayed at the Western Wall, most of the nation of Israel was watching on television. This means that every Jew watching on television was given the impression by John Paul II that he doesn't need to convert to Jesus Christ because Christ is not the Messiah.
The prayer that John Paul II left at the Western Wall asked forgiveness for sins against the Jєωιѕн people.
Other Apostasy with the Jews during the Reign of John Paul II
In late 2001, a Vatican Commission under John Paul II released a book entitled The Jєωιѕн People and the Holy Scriptures in the Christian Bible. The book argues that the Jews' wait for the coming of the Messiah is still valid. There is more on this book in the section later on dealing with Benedict XVI.
On August 12, 2002, the American bishops in union with John Paul II issued a docuмent on the Jews. Spearheaded by the notorious apostate William Keeler of Baltimore, and without a peep of objection from John Paul II, the docuмent publicly declared:
"…campaigns that target Jews for conversion to Christianity are no longer theologically acceptable in the Catholic Church." All this proves that John Paul II and his bishops were/are complete apostates from the Catholic Faith.
John Paul II's incredible Heresies regarding Baptized Non-Catholics
(i.e., heretics and schismatics)
We have already examined and exposed in detail John Paul II's undeniable apostasy with paganism, Islam and Judaism. Besides the many statements and acts of heresy and apostasy that John Paul II committed with those false and non-Christian religions, there are also his incredible heresies regarding baptized non-Catholics and their heretical sects. For example:
John Paul II taught that schismatics don't need to be converted
John Paul II taught that Eastern Schismatics (the so-called Orthodox) don't need to be converted to the Catholic Church. To provide a little background: The Eastern Schismatics (the so-called "Orthodox") reject the dogma of the Papacy, which means they reject the supreme authority of all the true popes in history. They reject the dogma of Papal Infallibility: the truth that a pope teaches infallibly when speaking from the Chair of Peter. They reject the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, they refuse to accept the last 13 Councils of the Roman Catholic Church, and they allow divorce and re-marriage.
John Paul II, Homily, May 23, 2002:
"I wish to repeat once again, honor also to you, the Holy Orthodox Church…" In his outrageous Directory for the Application of the Principles and Norms of Ecuмenism (#125), John Paul II encouraged interfaith worship with these Eastern Schismatics and stated:
"…any suggestion of proselytism should be avoided." We cover later, John Paul II approved the Directory on Ecuмenism in Ut Unum Sint #58 and elsewhere.
To
proselytize is to convert someone. So John Paul II held that any effort to convert the Eastern Schismatics should be avoided. Here are the words of a real Catholic pope, Pope Benedict XIV< on the exact same topic.
Pope Benedict XIV, Allatae Sunt (#19), July 26, 1755:
"First, the missionary who is attempting with God's help to bring back Greek and eastern schismatics to unity should devote all his effort to the single objective of delivering them from doctrines at variance with the Catholic faith." Pope Benedict XIV, Allatae Sunt (#19):
"For the only work entrusted to the missionary is that of recalling the Oriental to the Catholic faith…" Walter Kasper, a high-ranking member of the Vatican II Church, understands this quite well. Kasper was made a "cardinal" and the head of the Vatican's Council for Promoting Christian Unity by John Paul II. Benedict XVI confirmed Kasper in his position as head of the Vatican's Council for Promoting Christian unity. Expressing the view of both John Paul II and Benedict XVI, Kasper stated:
"…today we no longer understand ecuмenism in the sense of a return, by which others would 'be converted' and return to being 'Catholics'. This was expressly abandoned by Vatican II." Catholics who were tortured and martyred
because they refused to become Eastern Schismatics
In his 1945 encyclical Orientales Omnes Ecclesias, Pope Pius XII gives a few examples of Catholic in history that were tortured and killed because they wouldn't abandon fidelity to the Papacy and become Eastern "orthodox" schismatics. St. Josaphat is one famous example, but there are many others. St. Josaphat converted many Eastern Schismatics back to the
