Heresy
Is Worse Than Sodomy
By:
Eric Gajewski
“The
sodomite Catholic is “better” than a Protestant heterosexual objectively
speaking.”
Recently
a heretical Protestant website (endtimenewsheadlines) asked the question “Can
Catholics Get To Heaven”? The better
question in return is can heretics get to heaven. We know very concretely that the Catholic
Church was founded by Christ Himself. We
know Peter was given “the keys” and was the first Catholic Pope who held
primacy over the Universal Church. We
are the only Church with Apostolic Succession that can be proven historically
to be the “original”. So, to answer the
initial question not only can/do Catholics get to heaven (objectively speaking),
it is the only Ark out on the sea by which you can save your soul. Heretics cannot save their soul. Jesus didn’t start Calvinism or Lutheranism
or any other denomination but He did start the Catholic Church. The problem with protestant heretics is not
only their poor account of actual history but it fundamentally comes back to
the sin of pride. Furthermore, one of
their arguments I have heard over the years is “I would never be Catholic with
all that corruption, pedophilia and sodomy going on in the Catholic Church”. Let me address this impotent argument and
others within because heresy is FAR WORSE than sodomy.
From
a proper Catholic/Christian perspective heresy is far worse than sodomy. Now we know sodomy is one of the four sins
that cry out to heaven but as horrible as it is it still is not a worse sin
than heresy. Why? If you had a Pope,
prelate of priest who was an active sexual sinner in any category he would
still be a member of the church albeit corrupted.
Now, I recognize there have been Popes who not only wanted to get rid of these foul priests from the Church one Pope even said they should be put to death.
Putting that aside for the moment, the reason why heresy is a worse sin is because it not only corrupts the soul it separates one form the TRUE BODY OF CHRIST!
You become a severed member off the Body of Christ by denying any infallible church teaching.

Protestants cannot say they have any
authority from Christ although they try laughably. They have no authority from Christ to dictate
what Scripture actually means and this is why Jesus left behind a Church with a
Magesterium to do so.
As Scripture says when you depart from one portion of the law you depart from the whole of the law.
EVERYTHING the Church teaches infallibly on the matters of faith and morals must be accepted otherwise “you just jumped off the Ark out into murky waters” and you will drown into hellfire.

If
you are not following proper doctrine can you be truly following Christ? The answer is no. This is why Protestants aren’t Christians. Recently, on social media, I stated this
about Billy Graham, (who was a Freemason) concerning how his false doctrine
made him a non-Christian. One objector
stated loudly from the Conciliar Church that Billy “bore good fruit!”. Really I didn’t know you could teach against
the Infallible teachings of the Church and be called a bearer of good
fruit.
The reality is Billy Graham led souls away from Christ into the arms of the devil for his false doctrines (one of which was universalism). With Jesus it is all or nothing.
You either accept Him or you don’t and you are either following His true doctrines in the Catholic Church or not. There is no grey area objectively speaking. But what is also to the point, let us note that the very tradition, teaching, and faith of the Catholic Church from the beginning was preached by the Apostles and preserved by the Fathers. On this the Church was founded; and if anyone departs from this, he neither is, nor any longer ought to be called, a Christian.

St. Athanasius
Francis
states he avoids websites accusing him of heresy. Why?
Because he is a Protestant (in this sense) pure and simple. He too refuses what the Church has infallibly
taught in the past and tries to avoid those who point this out.
He is obstinate; therefore, he is not only not Pope he is not a member of the Church.
If anyone accused me of heresy I would confront it and refute it. Heretics due to their pride do not want to see truth. They don’t want to submit to Tradition. Yes, that can even happen to a supposed Pope folks.
We know (in the very least Francis) is a sodomite protector and as egregious as that is I am less concerned about that than his numerous heresies. Why? Once again Heresy not only corrupts the soul it separates one from the Body of Christ which is CATHOLIC.

I
will never become Catholic due to all the corruption! This is how some heretics argue. I have heard through email and even on live
radio shows I have done where they call in and my answer silences them even
over the air waves.
What is this answer?
Well, these types of sin are found in any “church”. Sodomy, child porn, and any sexual deviancy is now being made out to be just a “Catholic” problem. As if these Protestant heretics are immune to these sins! Really?
It is complete hogwash of course because as I point out these sins are not only prevalent in heretical “churches” there are even worse sins going on in these churches…..like ummm how about HERESY!

The heretic due to his pride (like the devil)
will plunge head first into hellfire. He
will shout “glory to Jesus” while his soul falls into the arms of the devil
unless he repents. There has been
corruption in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church since the beginning! This is no reason to leave the one and only
true Faith with the proper doctrines passed along from Jesus to his early
Catholic apostles.
And in this church crisis it is equally the same.
I know some “traditionalist’s” who have said I can’t take the corruption so I am going to become Greek orthodox! So you move into a heretical/schismatic sect now?
You will lose your soul there says the Church infallibly.
Jesus wants to see who the FEW really will be in our times. The FEW who see clearly as Our Lady of LaSalette states. It is certainly not those still making excuses for Vatican II, the New Mass, Conciliar Pope and Antipope Francis.

In
the end, heresy is far worse than sodomy or any other sexual sin for that
matter. The sodomite Catholic is “better”
than a Protestant heterosexual objectively speaking. The protestant is off the Ark while the
sodomite is a seriously corrupted who is still a member of the Church “on the
Ark”.
Christians in general fail to realize this because of their poor or erroneous formation.

Having
said this keep in mind ANY mortal sin (which sodomy is) will send you to
hell. I am no suggesting the unrepentant
sodomite gets to heaven because he cannot.
I am simply postulating how the sodomite Catholic still remains within
the true Body of Christ while the Protestant heterosexual (who may not commit
any sexual sins) does not.

The Church Teaches Ex Cathedra: "The
Most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of
those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews,
and heretics, and schismatics, can ever be partakers of eternal life, but that
they are to go into the eternal fire "which was prepared for the
devil, and his angels," (Mt. 25:41) unless before death they are joined
with Her; and that so important is the unity of this Ecclesiastical Body, that
only those remaining within this unity can profit from the sacraments of the
Church unto salvation, and that they alone can receive an eternal recompense
for their fasts, almsdeeds, and other works of Christian piety and duties of a
Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one,
even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved unless they
abide within the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church." (Pope Eugene IV,
the Bull Cantate Domino, 1441) "
ADDENDUM:
Popes on Outside the Church There
is No Salvation
Pope St.
Gregory the Great, quoted in Summo Iugiter Studio, 590-604:
“The holy universal Church teaches that it is not
possible to worship God truly except in her and asserts that all who are
outside of her will not be saved.”[i][xxiii]
Pope Innocent III, Eius exemplo, Dec. 18,
1208:
“By the
heart we believe and by the mouth we confess the one Church, not of
heretics, but the Holy Roman, Catholic, and Apostolic Church outside of
which we believe that no one is saved.”[ii][xxiv]
Pope Clement VI, Super quibusdam, Sept. 20,
1351:
“In the second place, we ask whether you and the
Armenians obedient to you believe that no man of the wayfarers
outside the faith of this Church, and outside the obedience to the Pope of
Rome, can finally be saved.”[iii][xxv]
Pope St.
Pius V, Bull excommunicating the heretic
Queen Elizabeth of England, Feb. 25, 1570: “The sovereign jurisdiction of the one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church,
outside of which there is no salvation, has been given by Him [Jesus
Christ], unto Whom all power in Heaven and on Earth is given, the King who
reigns on high, but to one person on the face of the Earth, to Peter, prince of
the Apostles... If any shall contravene this Our decree, we bind them with the
same bond of anathema.”[iv][xxvi]
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
rewards 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.”[v][xxvii]
Pope Leo
XII, Quod hoc ineunte (# 8), May 24, 1824: “We address all of you who
are still removed from the true Church and the road to salvation. In this universal rejoicing, one thing is
lacking: that having been called by the inspiration of the Heavenly Spirit and
having broken every decisive snare, you might sincerely agree with the
mother Church, outside of whose teachings there is no salvation.”[vi][xxviii]
Pope
Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos (# 13), Aug. 15, 1832: “With the admonition of the apostle, that
‘there is one God, one faith, one baptism’ (Eph. 4:5), may those fear who
contrive the notion that the safe harbor of salvation is open to persons of any
religion whatever. They should consider
the testimony of Christ Himself that ‘those who are not with Christ are against
Him,’ (Lk. 11:23) and that they disperse unhappily who do not gather
with Him. Therefore, ‘without a
doubt, they will perish forever, unless they hold the Catholic faith whole and
inviolate (Athanasian Creed).”[vii][xxix]
Pope Gregory XVI, Summo Iugiter Studio (#
2), May 27, 1832:
“Finally some of these misguided people attempt to
persuade themselves and others that men are not saved only in the Catholic religion,
but that even heretics may attain eternal life.”[viii][xxx]
Pope Pius IX, Ubi primum (# 10), June 17,
1847: “For ‘there is one universal Church outside of which no one at all is
saved; it contains regular and secular prelates along with those under their
jurisdiction, who all profess one Lord, one faith and one baptism.”[ix][xxxi]
Pope Pius IX, Nostis et Nobiscum (# 10),
Dec. 8, 1849: “In particular, ensure that the faithful are deeply and
thoroughly convinced of the truth of the doctrine that the Catholic faith is
necessary for attaining salvation. (This doctrine, received from Christ and
emphasized by the Fathers and Councils, is also contained in the formulae of
the profession of faith used by Latin, Greek and Oriental Catholics).”[x][xxxii]
Pope Pius
IX, Syllabus of Modern Errors, Dec. 8, 1864 - Proposition 16: “Man may,
in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal
salvation, and arrive at eternal salvation.”[xi][xxxiii] – Condemned
Pope Leo
XIII, Tametsi futura prospicientibus (# 7), Nov. 1, 1900: “Christ is man’s ‘Way’; the Church also
is his ‘Way’… Hence all who would find
salvation apart from the Church, are led astray and strive in vain.”[xii][xxxiv]
Pope St.
Pius X, Iucunda sane (# 9), March 12, 1904: “Yet at the same time We
cannot but remind all, great and small, as Pope St. Gregory did, of the
absolute necessity of having recourse to this Church in order to have eternal
salvation…”[xiii][xxxv]
Pope St. 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.”[xiv][xxxvi]
Pope Pius
XI, Mortalium Animos (# 11), Jan. 6, 1928: “The
Catholic Church is alone in keeping the true worship. This is the fount of truth, this is the house
of faith, this is the temple of God: if any man enter not here, or if any
man go forth from it, he is a stranger to the hope of life and salvation.”[xv][xxxvii]
Pope
Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, Constitution 1, 1215, ex
cathedra: “THERE IS INDEED ONE UNIVERSAL CHURCH OF THE FAITHFUL,
outside of which nobody at all is saved, in which Jesus Christ is both priest
and sacrifice.”
Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam, Nov. 18,
1302, ex cathedra: “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… Furthermore, we declare, say, define, and proclaim to every
human creature that they by absolute necessity for salvation are entirely
subject to the Roman Pontiff.”
The Catholic Church also
teaches that those baptized persons who embrace heretical or schismatic sects
will lose their souls. Jesus founded His
Church upon St. Peter, as we saw already, and declared that whoever does not
hear the Church be considered as the heathen and publican (Matthew 18:17). He also commanded His followers to observe
“all things whatsoever” He has commanded (Matthew 28:20). The Eastern schismatic sects (such as the
“Orthodox”) and the Protestant sects are breakoff movements that have separated
from the Catholic Church. By separating
themselves from the one Church of Christ, they leave the path of salvation and
enter the path of perdition.
These sects obstinately and
pertinaciously reject one or more of the truths that Christ clearly instituted,
such as the Papacy (Matthew 16; John 21; etc.), Confession (John 20:23), the
Eucharist (John 6:54), and other dogmas of the Catholic Faith. In order to be saved one must assent to all
the things which the Catholic Church, based on Scripture and Tradition, has
infallibly defined as dogmas of the Faith.
Below are just a few of the infallible dogmas of
the Catholic Faith which are rejected by Protestants and (in the case of the
Papacy) by the Eastern “Orthodox.” The
Church “anathematizes” (a severe form of excommunication) all who obstinately
assert the contrary to its dogmatic definitions.
"To understand the word anathema…we should first go
back to the real meaning of herem of which it is the equivalent. Herem comes from the word haram,
to cut off, to separate, to curse, and indicates that which is cursed and
condemned to be cut off or exterminated, whether a person or a thing, and in
consequence, that which man is forbidden to make use of. This is the sense of anathema in the
following passage from Deut., vii, 26: ‘Neither shalt thou bring anything of
the idol into thy house, lest thou become an anathema like it. Thou shalt
detest it as dung, and shalt utterly abhor it as uncleanness and filth, because
it is an anathema.’”[xvi][cvi]
Thus, a Protestant or an
“Eastern Orthodox” who obstinately rejects these dogmatic teachings is
anathematized and severed from the Church, outside of which there is no
salvation. It’s quite interesting that,
in issuing these dogmatic canons, the Church says: “If anyone shall say…. let
him be anathema [anathema sit]” as
opposed to “If anyone shall say… he is
anathema [anathema est].” This qualification of “let him be” allows
room for those Catholics who may be unaware of a particular dogma and would
conform to the teaching of the canon as soon as it were presented to him. The person who is obstinate, however, and
willfully contradicts the dogmatic teaching of the Church receives the full
force of the automatic condemnation.
The point here is that if one
is able to reject these dogmas and still be saved, then these infallible definitions and their accompanying anathemas have
no meaning, value or force. But they
do have meaning, value and force – they are infallible teachings protected by
Jesus Christ. Thus, all who reject these
dogmas are anathematized and on the road to damnation.
Pope Pius XI, Rerum
omnium perturbationem (#4), Jan. 26, 1923: “The saint was no less a person
that Francis de Sales… he seemed to have
been sent especially by God to contend against the heresies begotten by the
[Protestant] Reformation. It is in
these heresies that we discover the beginnings of that apostasy of
mankind from the Church, the sad and disastrous effects of which are
deplored, even to the present hour, by every fair mind.”[xvii][cvii]
Pope Julius III, Council
of Trent, Session 13, Can. 1 on the Eucharist, ex cathedra:
"If anyone denies that in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist there are truly, really, and substantially contained the Body and Blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore the whole Christ, but shall say that He is in it as by sign or figure, or force, let him be anathema."[xviii][cviii]

Pope Julius III, Council
of Trent, Session 14, Canon 3 on the Sacrament of Penance: “If anyone says
that the words of the Lord Savior: ‘Receive ye the Holy Ghost; whose sins you
shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins ye shall retain, they are
retained’ [John 20:22 f.], are not to be
understood of the power remitting and retaining sins in the sacrament of
penance… let him be anathema.”[xix][cix]
Pope Julius III, Council
of Trent, Session 14, on Extreme Unction and Penance: “These are the things
which this sacred ecumenical synod professes and teaches concerning the sacraments of penance and extreme
unction, and it sets them forth to be believed and held by all the faithful
of Christ. Moreover, the following
canons, it says, must be inviolately observed, and it condemns and anathematizes forever those who assert the contrary.”[xx][cx]
Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, Session 6, Chap. 16, ex cathedra:
"After this Catholic doctrine of justification - which, unless he faithfully and firmly accepts, no one can be justified - it seemed good to the holy Synod to add these canons, so that all may know, not only what they must hold and follow, but also what they ought to shun and avoid."[xxi][cxi]

Pope Pius IX, Vatican Council I,
1870, Sess. 4, Chap. 3, ex cathedra: "… all the faithful of Christ must believe that the Apostolic See and
the Roman Pontiff hold primacy over the whole world, and the Pontiff of
Rome himself is the successor of the blessed Peter, the chief of the apostles,
and is the true vicar of Christ and head of the whole Church... Furthermore
We teach and declare that the Roman Church, by the disposition of the Lord,
holds the sovereignty of ordinary power over all others… This is the doctrine of Catholic truth from which no one can deviate
and keep his faith and
salvation."[xxii]”
