Summary of the
Principal Errors of Vatican II Ecclesiology
by Georges de Nantes
The Vatican II Concept of Ecumenism
- The Vatican II concept of the Church as "People
of God" is false ecumenism. It leads to the belief that Protestantism
is no more than one particular form of the same Christian religion.
- The Vatican II Council document "Unitatis Redintegratio"
heretically teaches that "…the Holy Spirit does not refuse to make
use of other religions as a means of salvation."
- John Paul II's document "Catechesi Tradendae"
repeats the same heresy.
- The Vatican II concept of Ecumenism, condemned by Catholic
moral teaching and law, has arrived at the point of allowing the sacraments
of penance, Eucharist and Extreme Unction to be received from "non-Catholic
ministers" (Vatican II Canon 844 N.C) and it favours "ecumenical
hospitality" by authorizing Catholic ministers to give the sacrament
of the Eucharist to non-Catholics.
Vatican II Canon 844 "Christ's faithful for
whom it is physically or morally impossible to approach a Catholic minister,
may lawfully receive the sacraments of penance, the Eucharist and anointing
of the sick from non-Catholic ministers in whose Churches these sacraments
are valid. Catholic ministers may lawfully administer the sacraments of
penance, the Eucharist and anointing of the sick to members of the eastern
Churches not in full communion with the Catholic Church, if they spontaneously
ask for them and are properly disposed. If there is danger of death or
if, in the judgement of the diocesan Bishop or of the Episcopal Conference,
there is some other grave and pressing need, Catholic ministers may lawfully
administer these same sacraments to other Christians not in full communion
with the Catholic Church."
The Vatican II Concept of Democratic
Government
The Vatican II document "Lumen Gentium" is explicitly
adopted by the new Vatican II Canon 336, a doctrine whereby the college
of Bishops together with the Vatican II "pope" equally enjoy
supreme power in the Church, habitually and constantly.
Vatican II Canon 336 "This College of Bishops, in
which the apostolic body abides in an unbroken manner, is, in union with
its head and never without this head, also the subject of supreme and full
power over the universal Church."
This doctrine of double supreme power is contrary to the
teaching and practice of the true Catholic Church, especially in the First
Vatican Council (DZ. 3055) and in Pope Leo XIII's Encyclical "Satis
Cognitum." The Pope alone has this supreme power which he communicates
as he judges opportune and in extraordinary circumstances.
The Vatican II Concept of The Natural Rights of Man
- The Vatican II Council's declaration "Dignitatis
Humanae" affirms a false natural human right "in matters of religion"
contrary to prior papal teachings, which formally deny such a blasphemy.
- Pius IX in his Encyclical "Quanta Cura", Leo
XIII in his Encyclicals "Libertas Praestantissimum" and "Immortale
Dei", Pius XII in his allocution "Le Riesce", addressed
to Italian Catholic jurists, deny that such a right has any basis in reason
or revelation.
- These doctrines are based on a false concept of human
dignity, stemming from the agnostic and materialist pseudo-philosophers
of the French Revolution, already condemned by St. Pius X in his pontifical
letter "Our Apostolic Mandate."
- The Vatican II document "Gaudium et Spes" expresses
a false principle when it regards human and Christian dignity as being
a consequence of the Incarnation, which restored this dignity for all men.
This same error is repeated in John Paul II's Encyclical "Redemptor
Hominis."
The Vatican II Concept of the Mass
The new concept of the Church as defined by John Paul
II calls for a profound change in the principal act of the Church, which
is the Sacrifice of the Mass. The new Vatican II definition is that the
Mass is "a service and a collegial, ecumenical communion." A
better definition could not be found for the new mass, which, like the
new Vatican II Church, is a wide departure from the true Church's Tradition
and Magisterium.
It is a concept that is more Protestant than Catholic
and explains all that has been unduly exalted and all that has been diminished.
- Contrary to the teaching of the Council of Trent in the
22nd Session, and contrary to Pius XII's Encyclical "Mediator Dei",
the faithful's part in the Mass has been exaggerated and that of the priest
diminished until he is now no more than the president, after the manner
of Protestants.
- The place of the liturgy of the word has been exaggerated
at the expense of the Sacrifice.
- The communion meal has been exalted and layicized at
the expense of respect for and faith in the real presence through transubstantiation.
Popes St. Pius V and Clement VIII insisted on the necessity
of avoiding changes and mutations by perpetually adhering to this Roman
rite consecrated by Tradition.
Vatican II's Unimpeded Errors and Heresies
- Vatican II introduces the Protestant practice of free
judgement, the consequence of many creeds within the V2 church.
- Vatican II universities and major seminaries now teach
modern philosophies rather than traditional Catholic doctrine.
- Vatican II favors "Humanism" which echos the
modern world by making man the end of all things.
- Vatican II favors "Naturalism" which exalts
man and human values, thereby causing the supernatural values of the Redemption
and of grace to be forgotten.
- Vatican II favors "Evolution" which causes
the true Catholic teachings of 20 centuries to be rejected.
- Vatican II refuses to condemn the errors of "Socialism
and Communism." The attitude of the Vatican II false-popes since the
1960's confirms this, on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
- Vatican II agreements with "Masonry", the "World
Council of Churches" and "Moscow" have reduced the Vatican
II sect to the status of prisoner to these organizations.
