SIXTH
DOCUMENT: THE
INDISSOLUBILITY OF MARRIAGE. AGAINST BIRTH CONTROL. BAPTISM OF THE NEWLY
BORN. THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.
We, Supreme
Pontiff, Vicar of Christ, Successor of Saint Peter, Servant of the
Servants of God, Patriarch of Palmar de Troya.
1. THE
INDISSOLUBILITY OF MARRIAGE:
We, as
Universal Doctor of the Church, in the light of the Holy Gospel, of
Traditional Doctrine, of the Ecclesiastical Magisterium, in union with Our
venerable predecessors, believe, profess, proclaim, and confirm the
Doctrine, certain and immutable, regarding the indissolubility of marriage.
We, as
Universal Doctor and Pastor of the Church, proclaim that the
indissolubility of marriage is Divine Law, and in order to manifest this
truth, We rely on Holy Scriptures, as well the Old Testament as the New.
In the latter we have the words spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ,
Whose authority is not to be questioned.
When they asked Jesus about the law of the writ of repudiation,
based on the law of Moses, Jesus Christ replied; 'Moses acted thus because
of the hardness of your hearts, but
from the beginning it was not so'. We
all know that Our Lord Jesus Christ came to perfect the law; therefore He
re established the indissolubility of marriage in accord with
the principals of Divine Law. We
confirm the wise and just phrase; “What God has joined, let no man put
asunder”. We confirm that
the Sacrament of Marriage unites man and woman in a holy bond, which
remains until death parts them. Unhappily, in these last times, there has
appeared a crowd of false doctors, and as well a wicked mob of theologians,
who have dared to teach erroneous, equivocal and ambiguous doctrines in
contradiction and opposition to true doctrine.
Whence is gathered that the Tribunal called Sacred Rota is
manipulated and influenced by modern heretical currents.
We are
profoundly dismayed to find that at the Tribunal of the Holy Rota, there
exists a notable abuse in the concession of decrees of nullity in
innumerable matrimonial cases, which decrees of nullity We condemn with
all severity. We know as well, that in many instances, those who seek a
decree of nullity present their cases before the Tribunal, falsifying the
facts. With all authority and
severity, We condemn these decrees of nullity obtained by falsehood; and,
We declare, that, though officially they obtain a decree of nullity; it
will in fact not be so; because, in the eyes of God the bond of matrimony
remains. Wherefore, those who
act thus, do it against God, calling down upon themselves the just
malediction of God. We, as
Supreme Guardian of integrity and preservation of orthodoxy in the Church,
are deeply saddened and afflicted, seeing how, many of the faithful, in
those nations where the atheistic and impious state seeks to implant
divorce, blind and like sheep without a shepherd, cast their votes
favouring the promulgation of divorce in atheistic and materialistic
constitutions.
We, as
Universal Doctor of the Church, teach that all the faithful have the
sacred duty and the sacred right to cast their votes bravely against
divorce. Those who do
not, do so exclude themselves from the number of the Communion of Saints,
formed by the members of the Church.
We observe with astonishment and trembling, how, in reality, very
many Catholics are supporters of the introduction of divorce; and, what is
worse, in their number, there are many Priests, including Bishops; and
worse again, they have not formed a true and zealous holy League against
divorce. We proclaim and
declare that the states and Governments of the world, as authorities
representing God, have the sacred duty to put in practice all the laws
that accord with the Law of God. Wherefore, We proclaim that holy and
unmistakeable phrase; "We must obey God rather than men.”
Following this wise rule, We declare that the true faithful of the
Church have the sacred duty to resist the laws not in accord with the Law
of God.
We,
fulfilling Our mission as authentic Pastor and Prophet, announce to the
world; All the Nations which in their Constitutions, have proclaimed,
promulgated or defended laws contrary to God, will draw down upon
themselves the malediction of God Omnipotent; and as a result of these
maledictions, will have to suffer innumerable punishments; as fierce wars,
fearful earthquakes, floods, plagues, epidemics, atrocious sicknesses, and
every kind of catastrophe and vicissitude, since no one makes mockery of
God.
We, as
Universal Father, who greatly loves the sons God has given into Our hands,
cannot hide in silence the fact that we are on the verge of a horrible and
cruel Third World War, in which there will disappear from the face of the
earth many cities, as well as entire nations.
Appearing on the horizon, the panorama, prelude to great events,
grips one with fear and trembling. We
have still time to avoid, postpone or mitigate the imminent and proximate
Third World War, nuclear war, atomic and horrific.
Very beloved sons, do not be amazed that the Pope is Prophet, who
announces to you the great torments that are approaching; since other
Popes announced in prophecy the two previous World Wars.
Had the world listened to the word of warning by the Pope, it would
have avoided the two World Wars.
We, as
Universal Doctor of the Church, proclaim and declare that, the True Church
never will support divorce; since the Church cannot deceive nor be
deceived. We, with the
Authority with which We are vested, declare; if anyone defend, teach or
propose doctrine contrary to the indissolubility of marriage, let him be
anathema.
2.
BIRTH CONTROL.
We, as
Supreme Pastor and Doctor of the Church, confirm the Doctrine taught by
Our venerated predecessors against birth control.
We proclaim and declare the centuries old doctrine that teaches
that the purpose of marriage is procreation, and not sexual pleasure. The spouses co operate with God for the multiplication of the
human race. Let us not forget,
that for the beings who, in the process of nature are formed through the
union of man and wife, God creates the soul and unites it to the body.
Therefore this creature has the right to be born.
No one may act contrary to this right.
Therefore every man or every woman who does anything to prevent the
birth of the creature, opposes God, and the right to be born of the human
creature. Therefore, those
who act against this Divine Law and human right, will bring down upon
themselves the curse of God. Unhappily
in these recent times, there has come to light and publicity, false
doctrines based on the lack of food and resources for a good part of
humanity.
We, as
Universal Doctor of the Church, proclaim and declare, that there is no
lawful excuse for practising birth
control;
since We believe, confess and proclaim that, in order to have sufficient
food and resources for all humanity, no more
need be put
into practice than the social Encyclicals of Our venerated predecessors,
based upon and inspired by the radiant light emanating from the Holy
Gospel, as in it is Jesus Christ Himself Who is teaching.
Therefore, We turn to all those responsible
persons of
the Governments of the world; bring your laws into harmony with the Holy
Gospel. There you have a true
and authentic
social
doctrine. Do not seek social
principals outside of the Holy Gospel.
Therefore, do not accept Marxist, Masonic, Zionist
and
heretical doctrines. Seek
first the Kingdom of God and His Justice, and all the rest will be added
to you.
We, as Vicar
of Our Lord Jesus Christ on earth, are profoundly grieved, saddened and
afflicted, contemplating the Nations that in their Constitutions introduce
the diabolical law of the provocation of abortions; since this law
directly contradicts Divine Law and true human rights.
Whereas true human rights are always in harmony with Divine Law. We are deeply afflicted seeing how there are innumerable
Catholics who believe in the human rights according to the United Nations
Charter, devised in the world Masonic organization known by the United
Nations (U. N.). We ask with
irony the world organization of the United Nations: Perchance the right of
every creature to be born is included in the so called human rights that
you defend? We ourselves make
reply, it is precisely this world organization in defence of human rights
that promotes and teaches, diabolically, the practice of birth control;
whereby they commit the horrible audacity of acting directly against God
and against humanity.
We, as
Universal Doctor, declare that Our venerated and never sufficiently
praised predecessor, was manipulated and coerced to visit the cursed
organization of the United Nations. Even
now We recall with pain and amazement, that venerable figure in white
soutane, addressing those representatives, who for the greater part,
represented Masonry, Marxism and Zionism.
It is not possible for a good Catholic to admit that Our venerated
Predecessor, His Holiness Pope Paul VI, would visit with genuinely free
will, the world organism of the United Nations (the U. N.).
We know and hope that Our declaration will bring Us innumerable
enemies. We have to show that
it does not matter having many enemies, if thereby We achieve the dignity
of having the friendship of Christ. In this regard; let us say, in union
with the Mystical Doctor Saint Teresa of Jesus; “Jesus and I, a majority.”
We, as
Universal Master and Guide of the Church, proclaim and declare; if anyone
dare to practice, teach or propose erroneous doctrines over the control of
birth, let him be anathema. We
desire to use the opportunity afforded by the present Document in order
that, with Our Authority as Vicar of Christ, with severity and valour,
hurl anathema against the Masonic world organism of the United Nations (the
U. N.).
3.
THE HOLY SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM.
We, as
Universal Doctor of the Church, confirm the doctrine taught by Our
venerated predecessors, regarding the urgent practice of baptizing newly
born children. Unhappily,
since a short time ago, there have been taught false doctrines in support
of the practice of adult Baptism, contrary to the permanent doctrine which
teaches the imperative need of baptizing the newly born.
We know and confirm that newly born children should receive the
Sacrament of Baptism within a week from birth; or at most a fortnight.
We know,
confirm and proclaim that we human beings inherit the stain of our First
parents, Adam and Eve, which we know under the name of Original Sin. God the Father cast out the first pair from the terrestrial
Paradise; because this pair, seduced and deceived by the devil, disobeyed
God, and fell also into the sin of pride.
The Gates of Heaven remained hermetically locked, until they were
opened by the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Who, becoming flesh in
the most pure Womb of the Virgin Mary, suffered the dolorous Passion,
receiving the sentence of death, death on the Cross.
Jesus Christ immolated Himself as Victim on Golgotha, offered
Himself to the Father, making infinite reparation, and reconciling men
with the Eternal Father,whence comes to us eternal salvation if we take
harbour in the salvific work of Redemption.
And this harbour is reached by accepting the Holy Gospel, receiving
the Sacrament of Baptism and putting into practice the Law of God.
Let us recall the Holy Gospel, in which we meet the salutary words
of the Divine Master. Sending
the disciples to do the apostolate, He said to them; "Go, preach the
Gospel to every creature and baptize them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Ghost."
He spoke these words also, "He who believes, and practices,
will be saved; he who does not, will be condemned.”
Therefore it is urgent, necessary and salvific to baptize recently
born children as soon as possible.
We, as
Universal Doctor of the Church, know, confess, confirm and proclaim that
the Sacrament of Baptism obliterates the stain of original sin, and makes
us sons of God, heirs of the Glory of Heaven.
Whence is understood the urgency of baptizing the newly born;
because we know that unbaptised infants go to the place called Limbo. If we taught well on what it means not to be able to see God
in Heaven, we would be very quick to baptise infants. On the other hand, unbaptised infants are very much at the
mercy of the devil. By delay
in Baptism, due to the action of the devil, reaching the age of reason,
the person runs the risk, through predisposition, of rejecting
Baptism,with all consequences later on.
We, as
Universal Doctor of the Church, teach and oblige the faithful that their
recently born children quickly receive the Holy Sacrament of Baptism.
Each and every one who considers himself an authentic Catholic, has
to reflect on this, that, through the baptism which he received, he has
come to the most high dignity of son of God.
Therefore, if he truly loves his own children, he must cherish the
holy desire that they be quickly baptized in order to receive the same
dignity as sons of God; and that they be quickly freed from the strong
bonds of the devil, consequences of original sin.
We are
profoundly saddened, seeing how in the Official Church, in the new rite of
Baptism, there has been suppressed all signs of exorcism against Satan.
In this way, those who receive Baptism according to the new rite,
remain much at the mercy of the bonds of Satan.
We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, deplore and condemn the new
rite of the Sacrament of Baptism. With
the Authority with which We are vested, We re establish the old and
beneficent Rite of the Sacrament of Baptism.
We, as
Supreme Pastor of the Church proclaim; If anyone dare to confer the
Sacrament of Baptism according to the new rite, let him be anathema. We, as immovable Rock of the Church, proclaim and declare; If
anyone commit the audacity to teach, practice or suggest that Baptism of
newly born children be retarded, for any reason whatsoever, let him be
anathema. We have the sacred
duty to teach in the Church, as Supreme Pastor, according to wholesome
doctrine. Therefore, We have
the sacred duty and the sacred right, with all authority and severity, to
hurl anathema against false doctrine, since We know that one day, God will
call Us to appear before the Judge without appeal, nor is He to be bribed,
and We shall have to give a strict account of the acts of Our Pontificate.
Once again We declare, and promise also before God and the whole
Church, that We will devote Our Pontificate to teaching the Traditional
Doctrine and hurling anathema against heresies, errors, and so forth.
4.
THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.
We, as
Universal master and guide of the Church, remind the Catholic faithful of
their sacred duty to educate their children in accord with the Traditional
Doctrine of the Church. We
know, and for this We suffer, that in the majority of schools, and
disgracefully in those called Catholic, they teach the children heretical,
confused and ambiguous doctrines. The
moment has arrived, making opportune use of what is styled freedom of
Religion, to request in the schools, that one's children not receive
religious instruction; since what is taught today in the schools is not in
accord with the Law of God. Therefore,
the parents, today more than ever before, must recall their sacred duty
and sacred right to teach their children the authentic and salutary
Catholic Doctrine. It is not
possible that good traditional Catholics allow their children to be taught
heretical or adulterated doctrines. Seizing the opportunity afforded by
this Document, with great love for your children, We turn in anguish to
you, fathers and mothers of families.
We have
verified that Masonry, intrinsically the enemy of Christ, manipulates the
schools, as well as the greater part of the communications media.
Disgraceful to say, the actual schools are hotbeds of putrefaction,
immorality, deviation, and decomposition of authentic spiritual values,
moral and patriotic. The schools have also been turned into a studied,
calculated and astutely prepared seminary, that afford the opportunity, by
means of instruction, to inspire the children with abhorrence for the very
idea of God, and to imbue adherence, forcing the will to enter in an
immediate future, political organizations which practice diabolical
militant atheism, be it under the name of Masonry, or under the name of
Marxism, or whatever similar socialism.
And what is worse, in many instances, this instruction is given by
Priests, who say they are Catholic; when in fact they are henchmen and
lackeys of Antichrist. Very
beloved children, you, the fathers and mothers of families, for love of
God, watch over your children. They are going to be either one or other of
two things; either holy and valiant sons of the army of Christ, or the
apostate militant henchmen of Antichrist.
Watch over what your children read.
As parents, the representatives of God in the family, you have
power to prohibit your children reading that which is contrary to God;
using if necessary, punishments, reasonable and severe.
Very beloved
children, it is necessary that there disappear from your homes, whatever
book or literature that is contrary to God, contrary to wholesome
doctrine, contrary to morality, and so forth.
Very beloved children, you who are fathers and mothers of the
family, watch over and take care of the media of social communication that
your children use. For
example, the television, which in itself is a marvellous instrument, which,
put in the service of God can accomplish a great apostolate; but,
disgracefully, this does not occur, because Masonry manipulates television
on a universal scale, presenting programmes which attack God, attack
wholesome Doctrine, morals, and also true patriotic values.
It is clear that there is a world scheme that, by means of
television, those nations that traditionally had been distinguished for
their Catholic Faith, apostatise and join the hosts of Antichrist.
We, as
common Father of all true Catholics, with anguished appeal, and with
immense love for the institution of the family, repeat insistently; you,
fathers and mothers of the family, be vigilant, watch and teach your
children, in order that they become true sons of God.
Be alert, since Masonry, Marxism, Zionism and so forth, rule and
manipulate satanically the majority of the Governments of the world.
Unhappily, we are living the times when the prince of darkness is
ruling the world situation. Very
beloved children, consider also that in radio, Masonry has infiltrated;
and where most it has infiltrated is the press; newspapers, weeklies,
periodicals, documentaries and so forth.
Certainly it can be said that the Press, in greater part, is
manipulated, articulated and propagated by International Masonry, with few
exceptions. For this reason,
watch the reading matter that falls into the hands of your children; not
merely watch, but also prohibit firmly your children from obtaining such
reading matter, by whatever means, by purchase, by loan from other friends,
and so forth. Prohibit this
with holy energy, with firmness and just punishments, for the good of your
souls, for the good of their souls, and to serve God's Holy Church.
Do not forget that in the Press, is practised every form of
corruption; among which, immorality through pornography.
Do not forget, pornography is an invention of Satan to divert and
destroy Catholic morals.
We, with the
Authority with which We are vested, declare that all Catholic faithful who
lend themselves to these playthings of Masonry, as for example, to permit
their children these cursed deviations, be anathema.
We manifest Our sincere love for the whole Church, lest they might
see in Us a tyrannical and unjust dictator, or whatever other thing
similar, whereas, because We love you, We hurl anathema to guard and keep
intact the Authentic Doctrine.
