JOHN XXIII part 17

From “Vatican II Exposed as Counterfeit Catholicism” by Frs. Francisco and Dominic Radecki, CMRI

THE MODERNIST

Since the nineteenth century, Modernists have successfully attacked the Church from inside like a deadly cancer. Even though Modernist heresy has been condemned by the Church, more and more liberal-minded clerics and lay people have fallen under its spell and their sphere of action and power has increased. They have reached the highest offices in the Church, culminating in the very office of the papacy.

John XXIII did not fulfill the customary role of a Supreme Pontiff of teaching the flock, condemning heresy and protecting the sheep from wolves (heretics). He was a cunning revolutionary, not the defender of Sacred Scripture and Apostolic
Tradition. John XXIII was two-faced, never revealing his intentions, yet still craftily bringing them to fruition.

PREPARING FOR THE COUNCIL

On January 25, 1959, John XXIII disclosed several major projects: a diocesan synod in Rome, an ecumenical council and a total revision of Canon Law. After a year of preparation, the Roman Synod was held from January 24-31, 1960. It
included 1,300 clergy and served as a rehearsal for the Second Vatican Council. The media predicted that the synod would “make basic changes in religious practices and in some deeply rooted customs.”

Many subjects that would be discussed during Vatican II were brought to the floor during the synod including the role of clergy (priests and bishops), the teaching office of the Church, the liturgy, the sacraments, the apostolate, and Christian education. Vatican II helped form a new liturgy and officially taught Modernism and Ecumenism. On March 28, 1962, John XXIII established a pontifical commission to “revise” Church law to reflect the new beliefs.

On June 30, 1962, the Holy Office issued a monitum (warning) condemning the ambiguities and grave errors against Catholic doctrine contained in the writings of the Modernist Teilhard de Chardin. John XXIII, on the contrary, defended Chardin and stated, “publicly during an audience that ‘this measure is regrettable.’” He even discussed the importance of Chardin’s writings with the Post-President Leopold Sedar Senghor of Senegal.
