1. The Original Sin of Adam closed Heaven for all men (sanctifying grace was lost) ... Hell became the only possible destination for the immortal souls of men. 2. God re-opened Heaven by founding the Catholic Church and re-introducing sanctifying grace to men's souls ... the same grace which Adam and Eve had lost.
We are currently in the Great Apostasy (world-wide rejection of God's Catholic Dogma), these warnings apply: 3.Warning 1: A non-Catholic anti-Christ cult (the vatican-2 heretic cult) took over all Catholic properties on 8 Dec 1965 ("v-2 council" close date).
[Section 12, 13] 4.Warning 2:No one Ordained those that you think are Priests ... all Bishops of the "v-2 council" were automatically excommunicated on 8 Dec 1965.
[Section 13.2] 5.Warning 3: Your fake "priests" turned you into heretics ... the stage shows are not Mass ... participation in the vatican-2 heresy excommunicates. [Section 13.2.2] 6.Warning 4: Top level view ... why there is not a single Catholic Bishop or Priest in the world. God's Catholic Church is devastatingly small in numbers. [Section 13.6] All vatican-2-ists: You are excommunicated from the Catholic Church. You must Abjure your heresy.

[Section 7] ... believing the Dogmas ... and keeping free from mortal sin. [Section 10.1] 8. All grace, both actual and sanctifying grace, starts with God and comes into the world ... by way of the Blessed Virgin ... as Jesus Christ Himself did. [Section 4, 4.4] 9a. The Old Testament Israelite religion was the Catholic Faith unfulfilled ... the "judaism" fable started about 200 B.C. Jesus Christ was not a jew. [Section 39.1, 39.4] 9b. The "koran" is wrong ... Mohammed was not a prophet ... "allah" does not exist. The so called "allah god" makes countless errors in the "koran".

"So the restraints of religion are thrown off, by which alone kingdoms stand. We see the destruction of public order, the fall of principalities, and the overturning of all legitimate power approaching. Indeed this great mass of calamities had its inception in the heretical societies and sects in which all that is sacrilegious, infamous, and blasphemous has gathered as bilge water in a ship’s hold, a congealed mass of all filth."

"St. Augustine notes that other heresies may spring up, to a single one of which, should any one give his assent, he is by the very fact cut off from Catholic unity. 'No one who merely disbelieves in all (these heresies) can for that reason regard himself as a Catholic or call himself one. For there may be or may arise some other heresies, which are not set out in this work of ours, and, if any one holds to one single one of these he is not a Catholic.' "
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, Paragraph 8, 29 June 1896 ... referencing > Saint Cyprian, Ep. lxix. >
"Our Lord Jesus Christ, when in His Gospel He testifies that those who not are with Him are His enemies, does not designate any special form of heresy, but declares that all heretics who are not with Him and do not gather with Him, scatter His flock and are His adversaries: He that is not with Me is against Me, and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth”."
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, Paragraph 9, 29 June 1896 >

Pope Benedict XIV, Magnae Nobis, Paragraph 10, 29 June 1748 >
"When one of the contracting parties or both are infected with heresy, and this is not mentioned in the application and could not be known in any other way, the Apostolic letters granted in this matter lack those words and conditions which are customarily added to other dispensations."

Pope Pius X, Editae Saepe, On St. Charles Borromeo, Paragraph 21, 26 May 1910 >
"In this matter no diligence can be too great to fulfill the certain demands of our office.

Pope Pius X, Editae Saepe, On St. Charles Borromeo, Paragraph 23, 26 May 1910 >
"If those who associate with heretics are not firmly rooted in the Faith there is reason to fear that they will easily be seduced by the heretics into the trap of impiety and false doctrine. Nowadays facility in travel and communication has proven just as advantageous for error as for other things."

"So also St. Pius V., (states) that ... with the spread of this devotion the meditations of the faithful have begun to be more inflamed, their prayers more fervent, and they have suddenly become different men; the darkness of heresy has been dissipated, and the light of Catholic faith has broken forth again."
Pope Leo XIII, Supremi Apostolatus Officio, On Devotion to the Rosary, Paragraph 3, 1 September 1883 >
"This devotion, so great and so confident, to the august Queen of Heaven, has never shone forth with such brilliancy as when the militant Church of God has seemed to be endangered by the violence of heresy spread abroad, or by an intolerable moral corruption, or by the attacks of powerful enemies. Ancient and modern history and the more sacred annals of the Church bear witness to public and private supplications addressed to the Mother of God, to the help she has granted in return, and to the peace and tranquillity which she had obtained from God."
Pope Leo XIII, Supremi Apostolatus Officio, On Devotion to the Rosary, Paragraph 5, 1 September 1883 >
"Sixtus IV declared that this method of prayer 'redounded to the honor of God and the Blessed Virgin, and was well suited to obviate impending dangers'; ... Leo X that 'it was instituted to oppose pernicious heresiarchs and heresies'; while Julius III called it 'the glory of the Church'."
Pope Leo XIII, Supremi Apostolatus Officio, On Devotion to the Rosary, Paragraph 8, 1 September 1883 >
"That great saint indeed, divinely enlightened, perceived that no remedy would be more adapted to the evils of his time than that men should return to Christ, who 'is the way, the truth, and the life', by frequent meditation on the salvation obtained for Us by Him, and should seek the intercession with God of that Virgin, to whom it is given to destroy all heresies."
Note: Regarding the text ... return to Christ ... this is speaking of the Catholic Jesus Christ ... the non-Catholic heretic "Jesus Christs" do not exist. There is no "evangelical Jesus", "lutheran Jesus", "baptist Jesus", "methodist Jesus", etc.
Pope Leo XIII, Supremi Apostolatus Officio, On Devotion to the Rosary, Paragraph 3, 1 September 1883 >
"There is none among you, venerable brethren, who will not remember how great trouble and grief God’s Holy Church suffered from the albigensian heretics, who sprung from the sect of the later Manicheans, and who filled the South of France and other portions of the Latin world with their pernicious errors, and carrying everywhere the terror of their arms, strove far and wide to rule by massacre and ruin. (...) By his (Saint Dominic) Apostolic labors, he proceeded undauntedly to attack the enemies of the Catholic Church, not by force of arms, but trusting wholly to that devotion which he was the first to institute under the name of the Holy Rosary, which was disseminated through the length and breadth of the earth."
Pope Leo XIII, Supremi Apostolatus Officio, On Devotion to the Rosary, Paragraph 3, 1 September 1883 >
"When (the Rosary was) adopted and properly carried out as instituted by the Holy Father St. Dominic ... piety, faith, and union began to return, and the projects and devices of the heretics to fall to pieces. Many wanderers also returned to the way of salvation."
Pope Sixtus V, Triumphantis Hierusalem, St. Bonaventure, Seraphic Doctor of the Church, Paragraph 3, 14 March 1588 >
"For he left those monuments of his divine genius to those who would come after him (Saint Bonaventure) ... the truth of the Catholic Faith is illustrated, pernicious errors and profane heresies are overthrown, and the pious minds of the faithful are admirably inflammed to the love of God and the desire of the celestial fatherland."
Pope Sixtus V, Triumphantis Hierusalem, St. Bonaventure, Seraphic Doctor of the Church, Paragraph 10, 14 March 1588 >
"Truly in these last days, in which already there has come those dangerous times described by the Apostle, and the blasphemous, proud, seductive men who advance to what is worse still, erring and sending others into error, this ... is necessary to sensibly confirm the dogmas of the Catholic Faith and confute heresies."
Pope Sixtus V, Triumphantis Hierusalem, St. Bonaventure, Seraphic Doctor of the Church, 14 March 1588 >
"For then the traps and fallacies of the heretics, who, with the devil instigating, did not discontinue to overseed tares in the field of the Lord, by the care and diligence of the Doctors in detecting, both the pestiferous and detestible errors were cut off by the sword of the spirit, and with the holy Doctors as attendants, the falsehood was layed low by the strength of Catholic truth."
Pope Sixtus V, Triumphantis Hierusalem, St. Bonaventure, Seraphic Doctor of the Church, Paragraph 10, 14 March 1588 >
"Finally the utility of the universal Church moves Us, which can be always more and more richly captivated by the erudition of such a Doctor, especially when the ambushes and the diabolical machinations of heretics, by which they oppose most vehemently in this sad age that sacred theology ... that We should retain, explain, and propagate ... for the Church of God."
Note: Regarding the text ... the Church of God ... this is the Catholic Church, which has no physical properties, priests, bishops, or Pope in these times.
Note 2: Heretics are not in "churches" ... there are only heretic meeting halls ... lutheran meeting halls, presbyterian meeting halls, evangelical meeting halls, etc ... which send every last participant ino never ending Hell.

Pope Benedict XIV, Allatae Sunt, On the Observance of Oriental Rites, Paragraph 22, 26 July 1755 >
"It is not difficult to respond to the claim that Orientals and other Greeks who reject their heresy and return to unity can be lawfully exhorted to abandon their own rite and accept the Latin rite on the grounds that approval has been given in the past and still continues for Orientals and Greeks to practice individual Latin rites."
Pope Benedict XIV, Allatae Sunt, On the Observance of Oriental Rites, Paragraph 22, 26 July 1755 >
"The Church does not require schismatics to abandon their rites when they return to Catholic unity, but only that they forswear and detest heresy. Its great desire is for the preservation, not the destruction, of different peoples-in short, that all may be Catholic rather than all become Latin."
Pope Benedict XIV, Allatae Sunt, On the Observance of Oriental Rites, Paragraph 17, 26 July 1755 >
"Passing by these questions, We will declare freely that the Roman Pontiffs have carefully and tirelessly attempted to overcome the heresies which gave rise to the schism between the western and the eastern church, and that consequently they have commanded orientals who want to return to the unity of the Church to reject these errors, to find out if they really belong in union with the Apostolic See."
Note 1: Regarding the text ... the eastern church ... the eastern heretics are not a "church", they are a collection of heretic meeting halls around the world.
Note 2: Please see ... Section 8.6 for the fantastic heresies of the "eastern orthodox" ... they left Christianity in 1054 A.D. and have not had a single priest or bishop since that year.
Note 3: Please see ... Section 8.6.1 where the "eastern orthodox" themselves admit ... that thr Catholic Church is the Apostolic Church of the Catholic God. Caution: The Catholic Church has no buildings, priests, bishops, or Pope in these times.
Pope Benedict XIV, Allatae Sunt, On the Observance of Oriental Rites, Paragraph 17, 26 July 1755 >
"All should be received, but those whom it concerns should be informed that they should not hereafter use a profession of faith different from that prescribed for Orientals by Urban VIII of happy memory, since this profession contains a rejection of many heresies and other matters needful for those districts."
Pope Pius IX, Quae In Patriarchatu, On the Church in Chaldea, Paragraph 2, 16 November 1872 >
"The damage brought to your regions by the nestorian heresy is so great that like a wild beast from the forest it will destroy the Lord’s vineyard which once flourished there and devour it."
Pope Pius IX, Etsi Multa, On the Church in Italy, Germany and Switzerland, Paragraph 8, 21 November 1873 >
"Indeed Our venerable brother, Eugene, Bishop of Basel, with just indignation and Apostolic constancy, rejected certain articles drawn up and presented to him in his meeting. In rejecting the articles, he said that they were harmful to episcopal authority, subversive of hierarchical rule, and openly favorable to heresy."
Pope Pius IX, Etsi Multa, On the Church in Italy, Germany and Switzerland, Paragraph 23, 21 November 1873 >
"These unhappy men undermine the foundations of religion, overturn all its marks and properties, and invent so many foul errors, or rather, draw forth from the ancient store of heretics and gather them together and publish them. Yet they do not blush to call themselves Catholics and Old Catholics."
Pope Pius IX, Etsi Multa, On the Church in Italy, Germany and Switzerland, Paragraph 21, 21 November 1873 >
"In addition the Prussian and other governments of the German Empire openly support those recent heretics who call themselves Old Catholics. Their abuse of such a name would be plainly ridiculous if it were not for the fact that so many monstrous errors of this sect against the principal teachings of the Catholic Faith."
Pope Pius IX, Etsi Multa, On the Church in Italy, Germany and Switzerland, Paragraph 24, 21 November 1873 >
"But these men having progressed more boldly in the ways of wickedness and destruction, as happens to heretical sects from God’s just judgment, have wished to create a hierarchy also for themselves, as we have intimated. They have chosen and set up ... a certain notorious apostate from the Catholic faith, Joseph Hubert Reinkens."
Pope Pius IX, Etsi Multa, On the Church in Italy, Germany and Switzerland, Paragraph 24, 21 November 1873 >
"So that nothing be lacking in their impudence, for his consecration they have had refuge to those very Jansenists of Utrecht, whom they themselves, before they separated from the Church, considered as heretics and schismatics, as do all other Catholics."
Pope Pius X, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum, On the Immaculate Conception Paragraph 30, 2 February 1904 >
"They may also be absolved from all sin or excess, even those reserved to the ordinaries themselves and to Us and to the Apostolic See, on condition however that a salutary penance be enjoined together with the other prescriptions of the law, and in the case of heresy after the abjuration and retraction of error as is enjoined by the law."
Pope Pius X, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum, On the Immaculate Conception Paragraph 22, 2 February 1904 >
"It is from a subjection of the reason of this sort that Christian people sing thus the praise of the Mother of God: 'Thou art all fair, O Mary, and the stain of original sin is not in thee.' (Mass of the Immaculate Conception). And thus once again is justified what the Church attributes to this august Virgin that she has exterminated all heresies in the world."
Note: Regarding the text ... she has exterminated all heresies ... the Blessed Virgin identifies all Catholic truths to defeat any heresy ... but unfortunately vast numbers of people still "believe" their heresies.
Pope Pius X, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum, On the Immaculate Conception Paragraph 25, 2 February 1904 >
"We know, indeed, from experience that such prayer, born of charity and relying on the Virgin, has never been vain. True, even in the future the strife against the Church will never cease, "for there must be also heresies, that they also who are reproved may be made manifest among you."
Pope Pius X, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum, On the Immaculate Conception Paragraph 27, 2 February 1904 >
"And there for some time pray God for the liberty and exaltation of the Catholic Church and this Apostolic See, for the extirpation of heresies and the conversion of all who are in error."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 13, 6 January 1873 >
"But the neo-schismatics have gone further, since every schism fabricates a heresy for itself to justify its withdrawal from the Church.
Note 1: The difference between ... schism and heresy is that ... the group in schism separates from the Catholic Church but believes all the Catholic Dogmas ... so that schism is restricted to leadership issues only.
Note 2: The group in schism is of course against the Dogmas on the Papacy (Office of the Pope). Heresy on the other hand is rejects Catholic Dogma on issues other than the Dogma on the Papacy (leadership issues).
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 13, 6 January 1873 >
"And previously the arians falsely accused Liberius, also Our predecessor, to the Emperor Constantine, because Liberius refused to condemn St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, and refused to support their (arian) heresy."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 17, 6 January 1873 >
"But even if the results did not fully match the efforts expended, still by God’s mercy some churches of the different rites did return to the truth and Catholic unity of the Church. These the Apostolic See received in its arms like newborn infants and took particular care to strengthen them in the true Catholic faith and to keep them completely free from all stain of heresy."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 38, 6 January 1873 >
"Saint Athanasius called the interference of secular rulers in Church affairs 'a novel spectacle' and an invention of the Arian heresy."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 2, 6 January 1873 >
"Long ago Christ warned that many would come in His name, stating that they were the Christ, and as a result, seduce many ... this has proved true. For by means of the new schism which arose three years ago among the Armenians in Constantinople, the common enemy of the human race is wholly engaged in undermining faith, destroying truth and disrupting unity by worldly wisdom, heretical discussion, subtle, clever deceit, and even, where possible, by the use of force."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 6, 6 January 1873 >
The chief deceit used to conceal the new schism is the name of 'Catholic'. The originators and adherents of the schism presumptuously lay claim to this name despite their condemnation by Our authority and judgment. It has always been the custom of heretics and schismatics to call themselves Catholics and to proclaim their many excellences in order to lead peoples and princes into error."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 10, 6 January 1873 >
"The jansenist heretics dared to teach such doctrines as that an excommunication pronounced by a lawful prelate could be ignored on a pretext of injustice. (...) Our predecessor of happy memory Clement XI in his constitution Unigenitus against the errors of Quesnell forbade and condemned statements of this kind."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 15, 6 January 1873 >
"If We did not thoroughly know the clever and subtle deceits of heretics, it would be incomprehensible that the Ottoman regime still regards as Catholics people it knows to be cut off from the Catholic Church by Our judgment and authority."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 20, 6 January 1873 >
"The Ottoman emperor, at the insistence of Leo XII and Pius VIII, and relying on the support of the Catholic rulers of Austria and France, recognized the distinction which exists between Catholics and heretics; therefore, he removed Catholics from the civil power of the latter, decreeing that Catholics should have their own head or prefect."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 35, 6 January 1873 >
"It contributes as well to ... the authority of the bishops, whose rights and privileges find strength and repose in the stability of the Apostolic See. The Roman Pontiffs have always strongly defended these rights and privileges from heretics and ambitious men at the request of bishops of every rank, nation and rite."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 37, 6 January 1873 >
"But it is also said that We have infringed upon the rights of the supreme emperor. This is a common calumny worn thin by the long use heretics have made of it. The jews first invented it in opposition to Christ and God; then pagans very often used it not only before the Roman emperors and heretics, but even before Catholic princes."
Pope Pius IX, Quartus Supra, On the Church in Armenia, Paragraph 38, 6 January 1873 >
"It would be heretical to affirm that the use of this power received from God is an abuse of the Church’s authority; Pius VI already determined this. The Apostolic See has often taken great pains to maintain this distinction of powers. Saint Athanasius called the interference of secular rulers in Church affairs 'a novel spectacle'."
Pope Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis, On the doctrine of the modernists, Paragraph 37, 8 September 1907 >
"Such, Venerable Brethren, is a summary description of the apologetic method of the modernists, in perfect harmony with their doctrines — methods and doctrines replete with errors, made not for edification but for destruction, not for the making of Catholics but for the seduction of those who are Catholics into heresy; and tending to the utter subversion of all religion."
Note 1:" Regarding the text ... subversion of all religion ... only the Catholic Faith is a religion ... everything and anything else are man-made fables.
Note 2:" Regarding the text ... modernist "doctrines" ... modernists don't have "doctrine", they onlt have lies against the Catholic Dogmas.
Pope Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis, On the doctrine of the modernists, Paragraph 39, 8 September 1907 >
"And now with Our eyes fixed upon the whole system (modernism), no one will be surprised that We should define it to be the synthesis of all heresies."
Note: "Modernism" is a term the Catholic Church uses for ... the synthesis of all heresies. Of course specific soul damning heresies of different heretic groups ... and specific soul damning errors of the un-baptized pagans ... are also identified by the Catholic Church.
Pope Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis, On the doctrine of the modernists, Paragraph 57, 8 September 1907 >
"May Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith, be with you in His power; and may the Immaculate Virgin, the destroyer of all heresies, be with you by her prayers and aid."
Note: Regarding the text ... destroyer of all heresies ... the Blessed Virgin identifies all Catholic truths to destroy any heresy ... but unfortunately vast numbers of people still "believe" their heresies.
Pope Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis, On the doctrine of the modernists, Paragraph 42, 8 September 1907 >
"But for Catholics nothing will remove the authority of the Second Council of Nicea, where it condemns those who dare, after the impious fashion of heretics, to deride the ecclesiastical traditions."
Pope Clement XII, In Eminenti, Papal Bull dealing with the condemnation of Freemasonry, Paragraph 5, 1738 A.D. >
"Moreover, We desire and command that both Bishops and prelates, and other local ordinaries, as well as inquisitors for heresy, shall investigate and proceed against transgressors of whatever state, grade, condition, order dignity or pre-eminence they may be."
Pope John XXII, Quia quorundam, Rule of Friar Minors, Paragraph 7, 1316 A.D. >
"For that reason, lest the fabricators of lies of this kind and also the assertors of such pestiential, erroneous, and condemned doctrine, by repressing and confusing certainly every worthy (true doctrine), prevail in boasting and in leading others into error, since they have dared, by sneaky undertaking and perverse petulance, to defend publicly a heresy condemned."
Note: Regarding the text ... every true doctrine ... the true Doctrine is the Catholic Sources of Dogma of the Pope in union with the Bishops of the world (offices vacant in these times, see Section 13.6).
Pope Gregory XVI, Probe Nostis, On the Propogation of the Faith, Paragraph 6, 18 September 1840 >
"They fearlessly fight the Lord’s battles against heresy and unbelief by private and public speech and writings. They are inspired with a burning love and undeterred by rough roads and heavy toil."
Pope Gregory XVI, Probe Nostis, On the Propogation of the Faith, Paragraph 2, 18 September 1840 >
"There is hardly any uncivilized district left in the entire world to which headquarters of the main societies of heretics and unbelievers have not sent scouts and emissaries without counting the cost. These men, by waging secret or open war on the Catholic religion and its pastors and ministers, tear the faithful from the bosom of the Church."
Pope Pius IX, Omnem Sollicitudinem, On the Greek-Ruthenian Rite, Paragraph 3, 1874 A.D. >
"Gregory XVI of blessed memory wrote about these to the Armenian Catholics, “your ancestors, either admired them because they seemed more fitting and beautiful or, introduced them at various periods as a distinctive mark separating themselves from heretics and schismatics."
Pope Pius IX, Omnem Sollicitudinem, On the Greek-Ruthenian Rite, Paragraph 11, 1874 A.D. >
"Accordingly, nothing other is intended by the deceptive pretext of purifying rites and restoring them to their original condition than the preparation of pitfalls for the faith of the Ruthenians of Chelm, whom evil men are striving to tear from the bosom of the Church and to hand over to heresy and schism."
Pope Leo XIII, Arcanum, On Christian Marriage, Paragraph 45, 10 February 1880 >

Pope Leo XIII, Adiutricem, On the Rosary, Paragraph 11, 5 September 1895 >
"In the times and places in which, to the Church’s grief, faith languished in lethargic indifference or was tormented by the baneful scourge of heresy, our great and gracious Lady in her kindness was ever ready with her aid and comfort."
Pope Leo XIII, Adiutricem, On the Rosary, Paragraph 14, 5 September 1895 >
"Hail, thou fountain springing forth by God’s design, whose rivers flowing over in pure and unsullied waves of orthodoxy put to flight the hosts of error. Rejoice, because thou alone hast destroyed all the heresies in the world."
Note: Regarding the text ... destroyer of all heresies ... the Blessed Virgin identifies all Catholic truths to destroy any heresy ... but unfortunately vast numbers of people still "believe" their heresies.
Pope Pius IX, Quanta Cura, Condemning Current Errors, Paragraph 1, 8 December 1864 >
"And truly the same, Our Predecessors, asserters of justice, being especially anxious for the salvation of souls, had nothing ever more at heart than by their most wise Letters and Constitutions to unveil and condemn all those heresies and errors which, being adverse to our Divine Faith, to the doctrine of the Catholic Church, to purity of morals, and to the eternal salvation of men, have frequently excited violent tempests, and have miserably afflicted both Church and State."
Pope Pius IX, Quanta Cura, Condemning Current Errors, Paragraph 11, 8 December 1864 >
"But in order that God may the more readily assent to the prayers and desires of ourselves, of you and of all the faithful, let us with all confidence employ as or advocate with Him the Immaculate and Most Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of God, who has slain all heresies throughout the world, and who, the most loving Mother of us all ... is all sweet . . . and full of mercy . . . shows herself to all as easily entreated; shows herself to all as most merciful; pities the necessities of all with a most large affection."

Pope Leo XIII, Amantissimae Voluntatis, To the English People, Paragraph 4, 1895 A.D. >

Note 2: The Catholic Church ... as always ... are those who believe the Catholic Sources of Dogma whole and inviolate and who are properly Baptized in water.
Note 3: Regarding the text ... the heresies are dead ... this is to say they are spiritually dead, there isn't a single heretic in Heaven and there never will be. Also there are no schismatics, jews, muslims, buddhists, hindus, etc ... in Heaven.

Pope Leo XIII, Iucunda Sane, On Pope Gregory the Great, Paragraph 4, 12 March 1904 >
"Through his incessant pastoral care the embers of heresy in Italy and Africa die out, ecclesiastical life in the Gauls is re-organized, the Visigoths of the Spains are welded together in the conversion which has already been begun among them, and the renowned English nation, which, 'situated in a corner of the world, while it had hitherto remained obstinate in the worship of wood and stone', now also receives the true faith of Christ."
Pope Leo XIII, Depuis Le Jour, Paragraph 48, 8 September 1899 >
"In the face of the combined efforts of incredulity and heresy to consummate the ruin of Catholic faith, it would be a real crime for the clergy to remain in a state of hesitancy and inactivity. In such an outpouring of error and conflict of opinion he must not prove faithless to his mission, which is to defend dogma assaulted, morality travestied and justice frequently outraged."
Note: Regarding the text ... clergy to remain in a state of hesitancy ... there are no priests or bishops in these times ... identified on Section 13.6.
Pope Leo XIII, Depuis Le Jour, Paragraph 48, 8 September 1899 >

Pope Clement XIII, In Dominico Agro, On Instruction in the Faith, Paragraph 4, 14 June 1761 >
"So the Council of Trent condemned those heresies which tried at that time to dim the light of the Church and which led Catholic truth into a clearer light as if the cloud of errors had been dispersed."
Pope Benedict XIV, Quod Provinciale, Paragraph 3, 1 August 1754 >

Pope Leo X, Decet Romanum Pontificem, Excommunication of Luther and his followers, Paragraph 2, 3 January 1521 >
"Many of those who had followed the errors of Martin (Luther) took cognisance of our missive and its warnings and injunctions; the spirit of a saner counsel brought them back to themselves, they confessed their errors and abjured the heresy at our insistance, and by returning to the true Catholic Faith obtained the blessing of absolution. (...) In several states and localities of the said Germany the books and writings of the said Martin were publicly burned, as we had enjoined.
Note: The heresies and lies on each of ... Luther's "95 theses" ... are identified on Section 8.16.
Pope Leo X, Decet Romanum Pontificem, Excommunication of Luther and his followers, Paragraph 2, 3 January 1521 >

Note: Titus 3:10-11 > "A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid ... is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment."
Pope Leo X, Decet Romanum Pontificem, Excommunication of Luther and his followers, Paragraph 3, 3 January 1521 >
"Our purpose is that such men should rightfully be ranked with Martin and other accursed heretics and excommunicates, and that even as they have ranged themselves with the obstinacy in sinning of the said Martin, they shall likewise share his punishments and his name, by bearing with them everywhere the title 'lutheran' and the punishments it incurs."
Note: Regarding the text ... lutheran and the punishment it incurs ... the punishment is never ending Hell (the second death) ... which is the same for those in all other heretic groups (evangelical, presbyterian, methodist, baptist, bible-aloner, episcopalian, anglican, etc) ... unless they convert by the four steps on Section 2.1.
Pope Leo X, Decet Romanum Pontificem, Excommunication of Luther and his followers, Paragraph 3, 3 January 1521 >
"On all these we decree the sentences of excommunication, of anathema, of our perpetual condemnation and interdict; of privation of dignities, honours and property on them and their descendants, and of declared unfitness for such possessions; of the confiscation of their goods and of the crime of treason; and these and the other sentences, censures and punishments which are inflicted ... on heretics and are set out in our aforesaid missive, we decree to have fallen on all these men to their damnation."
Note 1: Regarding being deprived of property ... this was a strong inducement to convert heretics ... since being cast into never ending Hell ... is a far, far, far worse outcome ... than temporary loss of property in this world.
Note 2: For "lutheran" heretics to convert ... to have some chance of getting to Heaven ... see the four steps on Section 2.1.
Pope Leo X, Decet Romanum Pontificem, Excommunication of Luther and his followers, Paragraph 5, 3 January 1521 >
"They shall, if so required in the execution of these presents, publicly announce and cause to be announced by others in their churches, that this same Martin and the rest are excommunicate, accursed, condemned, heretics, hardened, interdicted, deprived of possessions and incapable of owning them, and so listed in the enforcement of these presents."

Pope Leo X, Decet Romanum Pontificem, Excommunication of Luther and his followers, Paragraph 5, 3 January 1521 >
"The said Martin and the other heretics we have mentioned, and on their adherents, followers and partisans ... in the present crisis, as their (Bishop's) office obliges them, they shall make themselves a wall of defence for their Christian people. They shall not keep silence like dumb dogs that cannot bark."

"One must solicitously take precaution, however, lest any heretic, or anyone suspect of heresy, or even an infamous person, be admitted in any manner to the observance of this life. And if one happens to find such having been received, let him be assigned as swiftly as possible to be punished by the Inquisitors for heretical depravity."
Pope Pius IX, Gravibus Ecclesiae, Proclaiming A Jubilee, Paragraph 5, 24 December 1874 >
"There they should pray for the prosperity and exaltation of the Catholic Church and this Apostolic See, for the extirpation of heresies and the conversion of all in error, and for the peace and unity of the whole Christian people."
Note: Regarding the text ... unity of the Christian people ... the Christian people always have had unity, it's called the Catholic Church. Heretics are not Christian ... for example, "unity" between Catholic and evangelicals is not unity it is simply illicit association with heretics.
Pope Pius IX, Quanto Conficiamur Moerore, On Promotion of False Doctrines, Paragraph 8, 10 August 1863 >
"The Apostle Paul says that such persons are 'perverted and self-condemned' ... the Prince of the Apostles calls them 'false teachers' ... who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master ... bringing upon themselves swift destruction."
Pope Leo XIII, Iucunda Semper Expectatione, On the Rosary, Paragraph 1, 8 September 1874 >

Pope Leo XIII, On Conditions in Spain, Paragraph 17, 8 December 1882 >
"Animated by brotherly love and all inspired by the same sentiments, they triumphed over the haughty domination of the Moors, over heresy, and over schism.

"Pius V declares that by its virtue 'Christians began suddenly to be transformed into other men, the darkness of heresy to be dispelled, and the light of Catholic faith to shine forth'. Sixtus V, noting how fruitful for religion this Sodality was, professed himself most devoted to it."
Pope Leo XIII, Divinum Illud Munus, On the Holy Spirit Divinum, Paragraph 2, 9 May 1897 >
"In the first place, towards the restoration, both in rulers and peoples, of the principles of the Christian life in civil and domestic society, since there is no true life for men except from Christ; and, secondly, to promote the reunion of those who have fallen away from the Catholic Church either by heresy or by schism, since it is most undoubtedly the will of Christ that all should be united in one flock under one Shepherd."
Pope Leo XII, Quo Graviora, On Secret Societies, Paragraph 6, 13 March 1826 >
" In addition, those clandestine and furthermore illegitimate assemblies, which they have, after the manner employed by many heretics, and the selection of men ... sufficiently convince that it is necessary to have no confidence (note: of course) in their related discourses."

"That all of this may come to pass prosperously and happily, let Us raise Our eyes and hands to the most Holy Virgin Mary, who alone crushes all heresies, and is Our greatest reliance and the whole reason for Our hope."
Note 1: All grace originates with the Catholic God ... then goes to the Blessed Virgin and then into the world for souls to cooperate with. This is the same path that the Catholic Jesus Christ followed into the world ... by the Blessed Virgin.
Note 2: Regarding the text ... slain all heresies ... the Blessed Virgin identifies all Catholic truths to destroy any heresy ... but unfortunately vast numbers of people still "believe" their heresies.
Pope Leo XIII, Sapientiae Christianae, On Christians as Citizens, Paragraph 24, 10 January 1890 >
"In defining the limits of the obedience owed to the pastors of souls, but most of all to the authority of the Roman Pontiff, it must not be supposed that it is only to be yielded in relation to Dogmas of which the obstinate denial cannot be disjoined from the crime of heresy."
Pope Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus, The Immaculate Conception, Paragraph 9, 8 December 1854 >
"All our hope do we repose in the most Blessed Virgin ... in her who is the glory of the prophets and apostles, the honor of the martyrs ... in her who is the safest refuge and the most trustworthy helper of all who are in danger ... in her who has destroyed all heresies."
Note 1: All grace originates with the Catholic God ... then goes to the Blessed Virgin and then into the world for souls to cooperate with. This is the same path that the Catholic Jesus Christ followed into the world ... by the Blessed Virgin.
Note 2: Regarding the text ... slain all heresies ... the Blessed Virgin identifies all Catholic truths to destroy any heresy ... but unfortunately vast numbers of people still "believe" their heresies.
Pope Pius X, On St. Anselm of Aosta, Paragraph 57, 21 April 1909 >
"But if the erring continue obstinately to scatter the seeds of dissension and error, to waste the patrimony of the sacred doctrine of the Church, to attack discipline, to heap contempt on venerated customs, “to destroy (which is a species of heresy)” in the phrase of Saint Anselm ... then all the more strictly must we watch, venerable brethren, and keep away from Our flock, and especially from youth which is the most tender part of it, so deadly a pest."

Truth of the super-natural order: All grace starts with God, goes to the hands of the Blessed Virgin, and then into the world. God (Grace Himself) came into the world by the Blessed Virgin, God never changes, all grace follows the same path to this day and until the end of the world.
