The Vatican II sect of Francis cannot be the Catholic Church.
This document was promulgated by the so-called supreme apostolic authority of John Paul II.
In his constitution Fidei Depositum, John Paul II promulgated his new catechism using his “apostolic authority” to declare that it is a “sure norm for teaching the faith.”
In his constitution Fidei Depositum, John Paul II promulgated his new catechism using his “apostolic authority” to declare that it is a “sure norm for teaching the faith.”
John Paul II, Fidei Depositum, Oct. 11, 1992:
“The Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I approved June 25th last and the publication of which I today order by virtue of my Apostolic authority, is a statement of the Church’s faith and of Catholic doctrine… I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith.”
This New Catechism is not a sure norm for teaching the faith. It is a sure norm for teaching heresy. Therefore, since John Paul II has pretended to declare from the Chair of Peter that his Catechism is a sure norm for teaching the faith when it is not, then know that he does not sit in the Chair of Peter. A Pope cannot err when speaking from the Apostolic See, that is, with his Apostolic authority from the Chair of Peter.
Pope Pius IX, Vatican Council I, ex cathedra:
“… in the Apostolic See the Catholic religion has always been preserved untainted, and holy doctrine celebrated.”
Pope Pius IX, Vatican Council I, ex cathedra:
“So, this gift of truth and a never failing faith was divinely conferred upon Peter and his successors in this chair…

New Catechism: Non-Catholics Can Be Given Communion
If Vatican II Sect is part of the Catholic Church, then the Catholic Church has officially erred in allowing Communion to be given to non-Catholics.
John Paul II, Catechism of the Catholic Church (# 1401):
“… Catholic ministers may give the sacraments of Eucharist, Penance, and Anointing of the Sick to other Christians not in full communion with the Catholic Church…”
There is no mention of “danger of death.” Vatican II and the New Catechism teach that Holy Communion may be given to Eastern Schismatics without any mention of danger of death.
Even if Vatican II had mentioned “danger of death,” it still wouldn’t change the heresy. It is never lawful to give Holy Communion to a non-Catholic until he reconciles with the Church, and every Catholic should know this. It is heretical to assert that it is allowable to give Holy Communion to a non-Catholic in danger of death. It rejects the dogma that the sacraments do not profit non-Catholics unto salvation; and thus, that it is never lawful to administer Holy Communion to a non-Catholic.
The Catholic Church and her popes teach just the opposite. For 20 centuries the Catholic Church consistently taught that heretics cannot receive the sacraments. This teaching is rooted in the dogma that outside the Catholic Church there is no remission of sins, defined by Pope Boniface VIII. It is also rooted in the dogma that sacraments only profit unto salvation those inside the Catholic Church, as defined by Pope Eugene IV.
Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam, Nov. 18, 1302:
“With Faith urging us we are forced to believe and to hold the one, holy, Catholic Church and that, apostolic, and we firmly believe and simply confess this Church outside of which there is no salvation nor remission of sin, the Spouse in the Canticle proclaiming: ‘One is my dove, my perfect one.’”
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, “Cantate Domino,” 1441, ex cathedra:
“The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews or heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives; that the unity of this ecclesiastical body is of such importance that only for those who abide in it do the Church’s sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts, almsgiving and other works of piety and practices of the Christian militia productive of eternal rewards; and that nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ, unless he has persevered in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.”
Only for those who abide in the Catholic Church do the Church’s sacraments contribute to salvation. This is a dogma. It is a solemnly defined dogma that only for those who abide in the Roman Catholic Church do the Church’s sacraments contribute to salvation. But this dogma is repudiated by Vatican II’s outrageous teaching that it is lawful to give Holy Communion to those who do not abide in the Catholic Church. Popes throughout the ages have proclaimed that non-Catholics who receive the Holy Eucharist outside the Catholic Church receive it to their own damnation.
Pope Pius VIII, Traditi Humilitati (# 4), May 24, 1829:
“Jerome used to say it this way: he who eats the Lamb outside this house will perish as did those during the flood who were not with Noah in the ark.”
Pope Gregory XVI, Commissum divinitus (# 11), May 17, 1835:
“… whoever dares to depart from the unity of Peter might understand that he no longer shares in the divine mystery…‘Whoever eats the Lamb outside of this house is unholy.’”
Pope Pius IX, Amantissimus (# 3), April 8, 1862:
“… whoever eats of the Lamb and is not a member of the Church, has profaned.”
John Paul II, Catechism of the Catholic Church (# 1401):

We have seen Benedict XVI giving "Communion" to the non-catholic Protestant Pastor Roger Schutz during the funeral service of John Pail II in April 2005. If we follow the New Catechism of Vatican II, to give Communion to non-catholics is fine. It proves that the Vatican II Sect is not the Roman Catholic Church of Christ.
It is an undeniable fact that the Catholic Church teaches that it is unlawful to give Holy Communion to non-Catholics. The Vatican II sect officially teaches that it is lawful to give Holy Communion to non-Catholics. Those who attempt to circumvent this undeniable fact by repeating the same false and already refuted arguments, that the Vatican II sect is only allowing this in danger of death (which wouldn’t matter anyway), just heap damnation upon themselves.
As we can see, this is not a merely disciplinary matter which a pope could change; for it’s connected with the dogma that heretics are outside the Church and in the state of sin. Being outside the Church and in a state of sin, they cannot receive the Eucharist unto salvation (Eugene IV), but only unto damnation. To change this law is to attempt to change dogma. The fact is that the Catholic Church cannot authoritatively teach that it’s lawful for non-Catholics to receive Holy Communion, just like it cannot authoritatively teach that it’s lawful for people to get abortions. The idea that non-Catholics may lawfully receive Holy Communion is a heresy that has been repeatedly condemned. It is contradicted by the entire history of the Church. This issue alone proves that we are dealing with two different religions, the Catholic religion and all the popes versus the religion of the Vatican II sect and its antipopes.

New Catechism: Judaism Is Valid
Vatican II's New Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches another heresy on the Old Covenant, again word-for-word opposed to Catholic dogma.
Vatican II's New Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 121:
“… for the Old Covenant has never been revoked.”
The Catholic Church teaches that with the coming of Jesus Christ and the promulgation of the Gospel, the Old Covenant (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 is 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 ten commandments, but the Old Covenant itself (the agreement between God and the Jewish 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 that the Old Law is now dead and that those who practice it (namely, the Jews) cannot be saved.
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, 1441, ex cathedra:
“The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and teaches that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament, the Mosaic law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites, sacrifices, and sacraments… after our Lord’s coming… ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began.. All, therefore, who after that time (the promulgation of the Gospel) observe circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, the holy Roman Church declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least fit to participate in eternal salvation.”
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.”
Antipope John Paul II has repeatedly repudiated this dogma, a dogma taught by the Catholic Church for 2000 years, defined infallibly by the Council of Florence, and affirmed clearly by Pope Benedict XIV.
This proves that John Paul II and his bishops are complete apostates from the Catholic Faith.
John 8:23-24:
“And Jesus said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sin.”
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, ex cathedra:
“The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews … cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives…”
We have seen, many times, John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis praying at the Wailing or Western Wall in Jerusalem. The Western Wall is the stone remnant of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. The Jews pray at the Western Wall as the holiest site in Judaism. 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 prohibited 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.
Francis will continue to endorse the heresy of Judaism because the New Catechism of Vatican II teaches that the Old Covenant of Judaism is still valid.
Francis, Conversations With Jorge Bergoglio, p. 208:
“Not long ago I was in a synagogue taking part in a ceremony. I prayed a lot and, while praying, I heard a phrase from one of the books of wisdom that had slipped my mind: ‘Lord, may I bear mockery in silence.’ It gave me much peace and joy.”
Contrary to Francis’ apostasy, the Catholic Church forbids Catholics to enter Jewish synagogues or the meetinghouses of the heretics “to join in prayer with them”.
Third Council of Constantinople, 680-681:
“If any ecclesiastic or layman shall go into the synagogue of the Jews or the meetinghouses of the heretics to join in prayer with them, let them be deposed and deprived of communion. If any bishop or priest or deacon shall join in prayer with heretics, let him be suspended from communion.”
Francis also teaches that the people of Israel continue to be the “Chosen People” of God.
Francis, On Heaven and Earth, p. 188:
“The [Vatican II] Church officially recognizes that the People of Israel continue to be the Chosen People. Nowhere does it say: ‘You lost the game, now it is our turn.’ It is a recognition of the People of Israel.”
This clearly means that Francis holds that people who reject Jesus Christ are the chosen people in God’s sight. This is a blasphemy against God.

New Catechism: Non-Catholic Sects are Means of Salvation
Vatican II's New Catechism of the Catholic Church also teaches that non-Catholic sects are a means of salvation.
Vatican II's New Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 819,
speaking of non-Catholic Churches:
“Christ’s Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation…”
This is one of the Vatican II New Catechism's worst heresies. It is a total rejection of the dogma outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation.
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9), June 29, 1896:
"The Church alone offers to the human race that religion - that state of absolute perfection - which He wished, as it were, to be incorporated in it. And it alone supplies those means of salvation which accord with the ordinary counsels of Providence."
Pope Pius X, Editae saepe (# 29), May 26, 1910:
"The Church alone possesses together with her magisterium the power of governing and sanctifying human society. Through her ministers and servants (each in his own station and office), she confers on mankind suitable and necessary means of salvation."
Pope Pius IV, profession of faith, Council of Trent, ex cathedra:
“This true Catholic faith, outside of which no one can be saved… I now profess and truly hold…”
Contrary to the heresy of Vatican II's New Catechism, the Holy Ghost does not flow out upon members of any sect whatsoever.
Pope Leo XII, Ubi Primum (# 14), May 5, 1824:
"It is impossible for the most true God, who is Truth itself, the best, the wisest Provider, and the Rewarder of good men, to approve all sects who profess false teachings which are often inconsistent with one another and contradictory, and to confer eternal salvation on their members... by divine faith we hold one Lord, one faith, one baptism... This is why we profess that there is no salvation outside the Church."
Pope St. Celestine I, Council of Ephesus, 431:
"... remember that the followers of every heresy extract from inspired scripture the occasion of their error, and that all heretics corrupt the true expressions of the holy Spirit with their own evil minds and they draw down on their heads an inextinguishable flame."
New Catechism: Allah Will Judge The World On The Last Day
Vatican II's New Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraph 841):
“The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the 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) will judge mankind on the last day! This means Jesus Christ will not judge mankind on the last day, but rather the god whom the Muslims worship will. It is a denial of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead. Muslims do not belong to the Church in any way! They do not believe in the Holy Trinity, so they do not believe in the same God!
Pope Adrain II, (867-872):
"The first requirement of salvation is to keep to the standard of the true faith."
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.”
