On April 12, 2015, Novus Ordo "Pope" Francis celebrated "Mass" with the Armenian Leader, Karekin II and Armenian Schismatics / Heretics in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. We have repeatedly seen Francis partakes in non-Catholic worship and pray with non-Catholics.He is not a Catholic. He belongs to a new religion, the religion of Vatican II. What he is doing is directly contrary to the divine law which teaches that Catholics are forbidden to partake in non-Catholic worship.
Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos (# 10), Jan. 6, 1928:
“… this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics…”
“… this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics…”
All Catholic moral theology manuals before Vatican II taught that it’s a mortal sin against the divine law for Catholics to partake in non-Catholic worship.
Pope Pius IX, Neminem vestrum (# 5), Feb. 2, 1854:
“We want you to know that those same monks sent Us a splendid profession of Catholic faith and doctrine… They eloquently acknowledged and freely received the regulations and decrees which the popes and the sacred congregations published or would publish – especially those which prohibit communicatio in divinis (communion in holy matters) with schismatics… They acknowledge that they condemn the error of the Schismatic Armenians and recognize that they are outside of the Church of Jesus Christ.”
Pope Pius IX, Neminem vestrum (# 5), Feb. 2, 1854:
“We want you to know that those same monks sent Us a splendid profession of Catholic faith and doctrine… They eloquently acknowledged and freely received the regulations and decrees which the popes and the sacred congregations published or would publish – especially those which prohibit communicatio in divinis (communion in holy matters) with schismatics… They acknowledge that they condemn the error of the Schismatic Armenians and recognize that they are outside of the Church of Jesus Christ.”
The Armenian Heretics / Schismatics are not Catholics. They became non-catholics by rejecting the Catholic dogma of the two Natures, human and divine, in the incarnate Christ as defined at the Council of Chalcedon, the Fourth Oecumenical Council, in 451. They also reject papal primacy and are not in communion with the See of Rome.The Armenian Apostolic Church has not been in communion with the See of Rome since at least the sixth century.
Notice that the decrees and regulations of the popes prohibit communication in divine things
with schismatics.
Pope Pius VI, Charitas (# 31-32), April 13, 1791:
“Above all, avoid and condemn the sacrilegious intruders… do not hold communion with them especially in divine worship.”
Canon 1258.1, 1917 Code of Canon Law:
“It is not licit for the faithful by any manner to assist actively or to have a part in the sacred rites of non-Catholics.”
But the Vatican II Church and "Pope" Francis officially teach just the opposite. This is an attempt to overturn the divine law forbidding Catholics to partake in non-Catholic worship. It is heresy.
St. Francis de Sales, "The Catholic Controversy" (16th century):
"Now when the Pope is explicitly a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church."
