Eric Gajewski posted in Defeat the Heresies of Religious Liberty and Liberty of Conscience Eric Gajewski 11:38pm Aug 1 Heresy of the Concilair Church/Popes including JP2... Experience shows that there is no more direct way of alienating the population from fidelity and obedience to their leaders than through that indifference to religion propagated by the sect members under the name of Religious Liberty. Pope Gregory XVI, Inter Praecipuas, 1844 A.D. That it is right for each individual to follow what is acceptable to his own religious creed makes the divine establishment of the Church of no consequence. Especially fatal to the salvation of souls is that erroneous opinion that liberty of conscience and liberty of worship is the proper right of every man. By our Apostolic authority, we condemn this evil opinion. Pope Pius IX - Qui Pluribus 1846 By the fact that freedom of all forms of worship is proclaimed, truth is confused with error, and the holy immaculate Spouse of Christ, outside of which there can be no salvation, is placed on the same level with heretical sects and even with the Jewish peridy. Pope Pius VII -Post Tam Diuturnas. Such attempts can nowise be approved by Catholics, founded as they are on that false opinion which considers all religions to be more or less good and praiseworthy, since they all in different ways manifest and signify that sense which is inborn in us all, and by which we are led to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule. Not only are those who hold this opinion in error and deceived, but also in distorting the idea of true religion they reject it, and little by little, turn aside to naturalism and atheism, as it is called; from which it clearly follows that one who supports those who hold these theories and attempt to realize them, is altogether abandoning the divinely revealed religion. Pope Pius XI, Encyclical Mortalium Animos, par. 2, January 6, 1928 It is insanity to believe that liberty of conscience and liberty of worship are in the inalienable rights of every citizen! From this foul-smelling fountain of Indifferentism flows the erroneous and absurd opinion or rather derangement, that liberty of conscience must be asserted for everyone. This most pestilential error opens the door to complete liberty of opinions which work such widespread havoc both in Church and State. Pope Gregory XVI Mirari Vos This is just an exert from the Syllabus of Errors ..... III. INDIFFERENTISM, LATITUDINARIANISM: 15. Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true. -- Allocution Maxima quidem, June 9, 1862; Damnatio Multiplices inter, June 10, 1851. 16. Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation, and arrive at eternal salvation. -- Encyclical Qui pluribus, Nov. 9, 1846. 77. In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship. -- Allocution Nemo vestrum, July 26, 1855. 78. Hence it has been wisely decided by law, in some Catholic countries, that persons coming to reside therein shall enjoy the public exercise of their own peculiar worship. -- Allocution Acerbissimum, Sept. 27, 1852. 79. Moreover, it is false that the civil liberty of every form of worship, and the full power, given to all, of overtly and publicly manifesting any opinions whatsoever and thoughts, conduce more easily to corrupt the morals and minds of the people, and to propagate the pest of indifferentism. -- Allocution Nunquam fore, Dec. 15, 1856.
