"a moment of inter-religious harmony" condemed by God...."Neither should you fellowship with the Servants of darkness, because they have no fruit in them, but you should rebuke them." Ephesians 5:11
Proverbs 28:4
..."Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked, but those who heed it resist them.".... 2 John 1:11
..."Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work."
"Let me entertain you"....(false peace)
Reminds me of what Hitler said after meeting Chamberlain in Munich.....
“Our enemies are little worms, I saw them in Munich.”
That’s what muzzies think of this Pope.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (Ephesians 5:7-8)
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (Ephesians 5:11)
But Rome has already shown he can interpret herself, and are told not to engage in interpretation, but look to the interpreter, while dissenters interpret the interpreter.
VEHEMENTER NOS, Encyclical of Pope Pius X promulgated on February 11, 1906:
It follows that the Church is essentially an unequal society, that is, a society comprising two categories of per sons, the Pastors and the flock, those who occupy a rank in the different degrees of the hierarchy and the multitude of the faithful. So distinct are these categories that... the one duty of the multitude is to allow themselves to be led, and, like a docile flock, to follow the Pastors.
St. Ignatius once said that should the Pope command him to undertake a voyage by sea in a ship without a mast, without oars or sails, he would blindly obey the precept. And when he was told that it would be imprudent to expose his life to danger, he answered that prudence is necessary in Superiors; but in subjects the perfection of prudence is to obey without prudence. - St. Alphonsus De Liguori, True Spouse of Christ, p. 68 http://wallmell.webs.com/LiguoriTrueSpouseChristVol1.pdf
Rome on separation:
► No one shall join in prayers with heretics or schismatics. – Council of Laodicea, can 29; http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/3806.htm
► * Do not converse with heretics even for the sake of defending the faith, for fear lest their words instil their poison in your mind. Bl. Isaias Boner of Krakow (Polish, Augustinian priest, theologian, professor of Scripture, d. 1471)
► “the Church forbids the faithful to communicate with those unbelievers who have forsaken the faith they once received, either by corrupting the faith, as heretics, or by entirely renouncing the faith, as apostates, because the Church pronounces sentence of excommunication on both.” St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica; http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3010.htm
► So, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics... - (Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, 7,8,10 )
► How does a Catholic sin against faith? A Catholic sins against Faith by Apostasy, heresy, indifferentism and by taking part in non-Catholic worship." (Catechism of the Council of Trent, and the Baltimore Catechism)
► "It is not permitted at all for the faithful to assist in any active manner at or to have any part in the worship of non-Catholics." 1917 Code of Canon Law [Canon 1258]
► Can. 17 “If priests, deacons, and inferior clerics complain of a sentence of their own bishop, they shall, with the consent of their bishop, have recourse to the neighboring bishops, who shall settle the dispute. If they desire to make a further appeal, it must only be to their primates or to African Councils. But whoever appeals to a court on the other side of the sea (Rome), may not again be received into communion by any one in Africa.” (Council of Carthage To Investigate Pelagianism, MAY 1, 418: http://www.seanmultimedia.com/Pie_Council_Of_Carthage_May_1_418.html)
►"One must neither pray nor sing psalms with heretics, and whoever shall communicate with those who are cut off from the communion of the Church, whether clergy or layman: let him be excommunicated". (not found: Council of Carthage)
►"No one shall pray in common with heretics and schismatics" - Council of Laodicea.
► Second Vatican Council, Unitatis Redintegratio: In certain circumstances, such as prayers ‘for unity’ and during ecumenical gatherings, it is allowable, indeed desirable that Catholics should join in prayer with their separated brethren. Such prayers in common are certainly an effective means of obtaining the grace of unity, and they are a true expression of the ties which still bind Catholics to their separated brethren. "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." -http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19641121_unitatis-redintegratio_en.html
► Ad Totam Ecclesiam, A Catholic "may take part in the common responses, hymns and actions" of the community in question, "so long as they are not at variance with Catholic faith." -http://www.christendom-awake.org/pages/thomas-crean/praying-with-non-catholics.htm ► Rome, Italy, Feb 19, 2010 / 02:03 pm (CNA).- The president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Cardinal Walter Kasper, announced this week that Pope Benedict XVI will visit the Evangelical Lutheran Church located in Rome on March 14 for an ecumenical celebration.
