[From "Benedict XVI’s Incredible Heresies on “the Orthodox”: He Teaches That Schism Is Holiness" about a letter he wrote to the Coptic Church on the death of their leader]

The adherents of the “Orthodox” sects reject Papal Infallibility and Papal Primacy. The Catholic Church has always considered them schismatics and on the road to everlasting damnation. Yet, as he has done for years, Benedict XVI lavishes endless praises upon schismatic “Orthodox” leaders.

Benedict XVI teaches formal heresy a number of times in this letter. He teaches formal heresy by stating that schismatics can follow the “paths of holiness” without the Catholic faith and outside the Church. Specifically, Benedict XVI says that by taking this role as a schismatic leader, the schismatic will “guide the clergy and laity along the paths of holiness”! It’s a dogma that men cannot please God, be holy or have sins forgiven without the Catholic faith or outside the Church (Trent; Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam; etc.). According to the apostate Benedict XVI, schism equates to holiness.

Benedict XVI also teaches formal heresy by repeatedly referring to the schismatic leader as “pope” and the true jurisdictional leader of the true Church in his area. According to the apostate Benedict XVI, the schismatic legitimately occupies “the See of St. Mark”. This heresy was condemned in, among others things, Leo XIII’s encyclical Satis Cognitum, which teaches that all such bishops are outside the Church and consequently cannot rule in it. As he does with other schismatics, Benedict XVI also calls this schismatic leader “Holiness”.

Benedict XVI also teaches formal heresy by stating that the deceased schismatic leader, “Pope Shenouda”, was devoted to the Lord, had a flock of faithful entrusted to him, and that his life continues to inspire them. This is a blatant denial of the dogma that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church (extra ecclesiam nulla salus). Benedict XVI also states that the recently deceased schismatic leader is “venerable”.

Among Benedict XVI’s other blasphemies, he asserts that holding a prominent role in a schismatic church is a “high office”. He also declares that the new office of schismatic leadership is a “pastoral ministry”. He prays that the Holy Spirit (The Spirit of Truth) will “sustain” the schismatic leader in his office of promoting schism! He also declares the adherents of schism (“the Orthodox”) to be “the faithful” of God’s Church. As usual, Benedict XVI also mentions his “esteem” for the schismatic leader. Benedict XVI theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen declares that souls were “entrusted” by God to follow (and be spiritually directed by) this newly-installed schismatic leader. Benedict XVI is nothing more than a complete schismatic antipope posing as a Catholic pope.

Here, Benedict XVI denies extra ecclesiam nulla salus again by teaching that notorious heretics and schismatics can have eternal rest. Benedict XVI also declares the “holy Orthodox” schismatic leaders to be the jurisdictional leaders of the true Church, wherever in the world they have established schismatic churches. He also says that deceased leaders of schismatic churches were “dedicated servants of the Lord”. He then declares that schismatic churches have “countless martyrs and saints” and that they “sustain and strengthen all of us”. What a heretic!
