Gossip and insane conspiracy theories regarding the \u201cdemonic\u201d nature of Fatima are still abounding on the Internet, especially among those posting on social media. Not content with defaming the Fatima apparitions, and in order to bolster their claims, this emerging heretical sect has lumped popes Leo XIII through Pius XII in with the current usurpers, making Pope Pius IX the last true pope<\/em><\/strong>. (The dogmatic impossibility of this ever happening was discussed in our last blog.) These current dissenters are following people once operating \u201cOur Lady\u2019s Resistance\u201d (OLR) and \u201cthe empress of the home\u201d (writing under the pseudonym Bernal Diaz). These actors have been called out on this site before for their errors and cowardly anonymity, so inimical to the courage of every saint who ever lived. Their book on Fatima and the \u201cpapal heresies,\u201d The Lady of Fatima and the Antichrist,<\/em> was released in 2018, but when an attempt to access the OLR website is made, it states the website closed that same year and a malware warning comes up on the screen. And these people call themselves Catholics?!!!<\/p>\n

The specious objections to Fatima raised by OLR and their miscreant followers can and will eventually be addressed: a work has been underway for several years that will show that Fatima was meant to be taken in a symbolic, not a literal sense. That work should be ready for release when the site work now underway is completed. But the accusation that <\/em><\/strong>ALL<\/em><\/strong> popes after Pope Pius IX are heretics must be addressed here and now.<\/em><\/strong> These trumped-up heresies are stated as Pope Leo XIII \u2019s denial of the absolute nature of separation of Church and state and his teaching that God is the common Father of all, also that \u00a0Christ died for all men. This even though \u201cDiaz\u201d has nothing whatsoever on which to base these claims of heresy and has taken papal quotes entirely out of their dogmatic and historical context. We begin below with God as the Father of all, something we learned as small children, which Diaz characterizes as heresy. From the Diaz book:<\/p>\n

  1. Rerum Novarum, May 15, 1891<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cAll men are children of the same common Father, who is God<\/em><\/strong>; \u2026EACH AND ALL are redeemed and made sons of God, by Jesus Christ,<\/em><\/strong> “<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Leo XIII\u2019s Humanum Genus,<\/em> 1884:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u201c[There is] \u2026liberty, fraternity, and equality of right; not such as the Freemasons absurdly imagine, but such as Jesus Christ obtained for the human race<\/em><\/strong> and St. Francis aspired to: the liberty, We mean, of sons of God, through which we may be free from slavery to Satan <\/em><\/strong>or to our passions, both of them most wicked masters; the fraternity whose origin is in God, the common Creator and Father of all\u2026<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Leo XIII in Auspicato Concessum,<\/em> #13, Sept. 17, 1882:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        “Therefore has he [Saint Francis] deserved well of that brotherhood established and perfected by Jesus Christ, which has made of all mankind one only family, under the authority of God, the common Father of all.”<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        1. Pope Pius X to the French Bishops, August 15, 1910, Our Apostolic Mandate<\/em>:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Catholic doctrine further tells us that love for our neighbor flows from our love for God, Who is Father to all, and goal of the whole human family<\/em><\/strong>\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

          All of the following teachings of the Church and Councils clearly show that nos. 1-4 above are not heresies, but the teachings of the Catholic Church:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

          God is the Father of all men and Christ died for all<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          Ephesians<\/strong> 4: 4-6<\/h5>\n

          \u201cOne body and one Spirit: as you are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism. ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL<\/em><\/strong>, who is above all, and through all, and in us all<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

          The Council of Trent, Session 6, Ch. 2:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

          (Translated by the Rev. J. Waterworth from the official 1564 edition):<\/p>\n

          \u201cThe heavenly Father, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, when that blessed fullness of the time was come, sent unto men Jesus Christ His own Son \u2014 who hath been both before the law and during the time of the law to many of the holy Fathers announced and promised \u2014 that he might both redeem the Jews who were under the law and that the Gentiles who followed not after justice might attain to justice, AND THAT ALL MEN MIGHT RECEIVE THE ADOPTION OF SONS<\/em><\/strong>. Him God hath proposed as a perpetuator through faith in His blood for our sins AND NOT FOR OUR SINS ONLY, BUT ALSO FOR THOSE OF THE WHOLE WORLD.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

          Errors of Quesnel<\/strong><\/h5>\n

          \u201cBut, since the observing of commandments and therefore of the conditions necessary for salvation is not within the reach of all, it is evident that neither the intention of God to save nor the efficacy of the sufferings of the Saviour extend to all mankind<\/em><\/strong>. So “all those whom God wishes <\/em><\/strong>to save through Christ are infallibly saved” (prop. 30, Cath. Encyclopedia; DZ 1380. Condemned as proximate to heresy by Clement XI.)<\/p>\n

          The Vatican Council<\/strong>, Sess. III, Ch. 2, Revelation<\/h5>\n

          \u201cThe same Holy Mother Church holds and teaches that God, the beginning and end of all things, can be known with certitude by the natural light of human reason from created things; \u201cfor the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made\u201d (Romans 1:20). Nevertheless it has pleased His wisdom and goodness to reveal Himself and the eternal decrees of His will <\/em><\/strong>TO THE HUMAN RACE <\/em><\/strong>in another and supernatural way as the apostle says<\/em><\/strong> \u201cGod who at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all in these days has spoken to us by His Son\u201d (Hebrews 1:1).<\/p>\n

          The Council of Trent, Session 6, Ch. 3: <\/strong><\/h5>\n

          \u201cBUT THOUGH HE DIED FOR ALL,<\/em><\/strong> yet do not all receive the benefit of his death but those only unto whom the merits of His passion is communicated.<\/em><\/strong> For as in truth men, if they were not born propagated of the seed of Adam would not be born unjust \u2014 seeing that by the propagation they contract through Him when they are conceived in justice as their own so if they were not born again in Christ they never would be justified\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

          HOW COULD CHRIST HAVE DIED FOR ALL, ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF HIS HEAVENLY FATHER, IF HIS FATHER LIKEWISE WAS NOT THE FATHER OF ALL?!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

          \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Errors of the Jansenists<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          Innocent X condemned the following five propositions in the Bull “Cum occasione” (31 May, 1653) which were as follows, (from the Catholic Encyclopedia, Jansenism):<\/p>\n

          \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u2022<\/strong>\u00a0 Some of God’s commandments are impossible to just men who wish and strive (to keep them) considering the powers they actually have, the grace by which these precepts may become possible is also wanting;<\/p>\n
