The Hammer Destroys the Heretics: Fr. Kramer's Final Draft of His Expose of the Salzarian Attack on the Very Nature of the Catholic Church.
Here are some excerpts from Fr. Kramer's final Draft of Heretic Pope?
Defection from
the Faith and the Church - Faith, Heresy, and the Loss of Office - An
Exposé of the Heresy of John Salza and Robert Siscoe Part I
Fr. Paul Kramer B.Ph., S.T.B., M.Div., S.T.L. (Cand.)
SECTION ONE
FAITH, HERESY and the LOSS OF OFFICE
The sin of Heresy per se, like apostasy and schism, has the intrinsic effect of separating the heretic from the Church by itself, without any ecclesiastical censure or judgment; and is distinguished from other sins which do not by their very nature, separate the sinner from the body of the Church; and who, therefore, for grave offenses can only be separated from the Church by a sentence of excommunication incurred or inflicted by legitimate ecclesiastical authority. This is the infallible teaching of the universal magisterium of the Church which must be believed de fide divina et Catholica under pain of heresy, as is proven and demonstrated below.
St.
Pius V teaches in the Roman Catechism: "Heretics and schismatics are
excluded from the Church, because they have defected (desciverunt) from
her and belong to her only as deserters belong to the army from which
they have deserted."; whereas those who have not left the Church by
defecting, but are excluded from the Church by excommunication, are "cut
off by her sentence from the number of her children and belong not to
her communion until they repent.”
In
order to understand how it is that heretics leave the Church by
themselves -- i.e., that heresy per se, by the very nature of the
transgression, separates the heretic from the body of the Church as a
consequence intrinsic to the nature of the sin, (as Pius XII teaches, "suapte natura hominem ab Ecclesiae Corpore separet");
and that by the fully deliberate and obstinate act of heresy, the
heretics have left the Church and separated themselves from union with
the body of the Church: "a Corporis compage semetipsos misere
separarunt", (as distinguished from those who for reason of a most grave
fault have been cut off by the legitimate ecclesiastical authority -- "ob gravissima admissa a legitima auctoritate seiuncti sunt" [either a jure, i.e. latæ sententiæ, or ab homine, i.e. sententia ferenda]
); it is necessary first to understand how one enters the Church as a
faithful member; since it is by faith that one becomes a Christian and a
member of the Church, and therefore it is by defecting from the faith
into heresy or apostasy that one departs from the Church and ceases by
the very nature of the sin to be a member.
It is first and foremost by faith that one is a Christian, without
which, (as St. Thomas teaches), no one can be said to be a Christian:
"Primum quod est necessarium Christiano, est fides, sine qua nullus
dicitur fidelis Christianus." By faith, even before baptism (Acts
10:47), one can become united to the soul of the Church, and becomes a
member not "in re" but "in voto" (as St. Robert Bellarmine teaches).
This is, as St. Thomas explains, in virtue of the effects of faith: 1)
It is by faith that the soul is first united to God: "Primum est quod
per fidem anima coniungitur Deo: nam per fidem anima Christiana facit
quasi quoddam matrimonium cum Deo";[2] and for that reason it is that
one who is baptised must first profess the faith: "Et inde est quod
quando homo baptizatur, primo confitetur fidem, cum dicitur ei, credis
in Deum?".[2] And thus it is that Baptism is first a sacrament of faith:
"Quia Baptismus est primum sacramentum fidei." -- and for this reason Baptism is said to be "the door", the vitæ spiritualis ianua
and the door to the other sacraments; for it is by this sacrament of
faith that one enters the Church, and without faith the sacrament is of
no benefit: "Baptismus enim sine fide non prodest."[1] From there it
becomes clear that in order to be a member of the Church, it is
necessary, (as St. Pius X teaches), to be baptised, and to believe and
profess the doctrine of Jesus Christ ("Per esser membro della Chiesa è
necessario esser battezzato, credere e professare la dottrina di Gesù
Cristo"); since the Church is "the congregation of all baptized persons
united in the same true faith, the same sacraments, and the same
sacrifice, under the authority of the Sovereign Pontiff and the bishops
in communion with him" -- and therefore, "To remain a real member of the
Church after Baptism a person must profess the one true faith and must
not withdraw from the unity of the body of the Church in schism or heresy or be excommunicated by legitimate authority because of serious sins."
Thus, the heretic, schismatic, and apostate withdraw from unity and
leave the Church, and thereby cease to be members, as St. Pius X teaches
(in Question 200), Whoever would not believe in the solemn definitions
of faith or would doubt them, would sin against faith; and remaining
obstinate in unbelief, would no longer be a Catholic, but a heretic.
("Chi non credesse alle definizioni solenni del Papa, o anche solo ne
dubitasse, peccherebbe contro la fede, e se rimanesse ostinato in questa
incredulità, non sarebbe più cattolico, ma eretico.) Heretics are not
only those who stubbornly doubt or deny any solemn definitions; but the
same Pontiff teaches that they are heretics who refuse to believe any
truth revealed by God which the Catholic Church teaches as "de fide":
"Gli eretici sono i battezzati che ricusano con pertinacia di credere
qualche verità rivelata da Dio e insegnata come di fede dalla Chiesa
cattolica" (Q. 228).
The doctrine that not only the solemn definitions, but all that has
been taught by the universal and ordinary magisterium of the Church as
divinely revealed must be believed with divine and Catholic faith was
set forth with precision in the Dogmatic Constitution 《Dei Filius》by
the First Vatican Council: "Further, by divine and Catholic faith, all
those things must be believed which are contained in the written word of
God and in tradition, and those which are proposed by the Church,
either in a solemn pronouncement or in her ordinary and universal
teaching power, to be believed as divinely revealed." Thus it follows
that heresy consists not only in the denial or refusal to believe
solemnly defined dogmas, but any revealed truth taught by the universal
magisterium that must be believed with divine and Catholic faith: "Can.
751 — Dicitur haeresis, pertinax, post receptum baptismum, alicuius
veritatis divina et catholica credendae denegatio, aut de eadem pertinax
dubitatio; apostasia, fidei christianae ex toto repudiatio". (Codex
Iuris Canonici).....
