NOTE PRELIMINARY I have written many articles in La Hoja de Combate -10 of them published first in Impacto- to demonstrate this truth: No Pope has been or will ever be a heretic. I have sustained it in two polemics with furious enemies of the Papacy. I have thought it convenient to take advantage of all this material, but giving it organic unity, following a plan of my own, independently of the capricious trajectory of these polemics. The adversaries never took into account my refutations and my documentary proofs, in order to surprise the readers who did not read all my articles, which for the same reason suffered from several reiterations, necessary in those circumstances in order not to leave anyone in error. In this book I unload my argumentation of those repetitions. I also unload it of a multitude of references to my opponents. I would not like to mention them by name at all: an impossible thing" because it is necessary to quote verbatim their main accusations against Paul VI and other Popes. Those names unfortunately belong to the history of the Mexican heterodox and schismatics. I am not quoting all of them, but only the 5 6 NO POPE HAS EVER BEEN OR WILL EVER BE A HERETIC. Joaquín Sáenz Arriaga, ex-Jesuit, and Gloria Riestra: she and he rightly outraged by the heresies, the sacrileges, the abuses/of the progressives; he and she later launched into the arena against Paul VI by occult forces that saw the opportunity to provoke the first schism in Mexico, and sustained at the same time by their own vanity, skillfully nourished ... Sáenz Arriaga died, perhaps converted, as a priest who assisted him in his last moments assures us, and that - he adds - for the salvation of that soul he did not think it prudent or necessary to demand a written abjuration, as I was told in the Apostolic Delegation in January 1978. I have my doubts. And since there is not sufficient proof of this, I will stick to his public performance until the end of his life. As for Gloria Riestra, her conversion seems to me, judging by history, the most difficult. The reader will see how she becomes obsessed in error for not understanding or not wanting to understand - de internis ñeque Ecclesia - the terms of the mystery of the Papacy and for believing herself to be a Doctor of the Church. In the Introduction I present in a few words the schismatic attitude adopted by Father Saenz Arriaga and Gloria Riestra. It is the-first, necessarily. In this book I expand on many points that in the articles of controversy I only touched on in passing, and for the first time I deal with some others of importance. So much so, that for the most part this book is new. At the end I debunk the grotesque charges that Gloria makes against Juan Pabló II. When in May 1524 Los Doce arrived in Tenochtitlan to found the Church in New Spain PRELIMINARY NOTE 7 After Hernán Cortés kissed* the hands of each and every one of them on his knees and introduced them with an appropriate harangue, those friars declared that "the cause of their coming was to be messengers of a universal Lord and Prelate that Our Lord has placed in his place in the world, called Holy Father, so that in his name he may rule and govern men, trying to guide them to Heaven, where God is".1 Wonderful first catcquesis! The Catholic Church in Mexico could not be born except under the authority of the Holy Father, that is, of Peter, universal Lord.... Nor can it subsist if it breaks its unity with him. Naturally, I subject each and every one of my words to the supreme Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church. And insofar as* they are not objected to by it, I place them at the feet of the Immaculate Virgin, debater of heresies.

' p* "The Holy See has a misfortune which is common to it with all great men and all great works: it cannot be rightly judged by the century in which it acts, and, since it is immortal, it lives insulted between its past glory and its future glory, similar to Jesus Christ crucified in the midst of the times, between the day of creation and that of universal judgment." Lacordaire INTRODUCTION The schismatic attitude OF FATHER SÁENZ ARRIAGA and of Gloria Riestra l.-Sáenz Arriaga i This is the visible founder of the first schism -we still do not know how extensive and deep- in the history of Mexico. At first sight he counts with several presbyters and some 'hundreds of ?>families in the Capital, in Merida, in Zacatecas, in Tijuana, in Guadalajara. - Saenz Arriaga slid little by little towards schism. His friends were pushing him into rebellion: it was very easy to criticize everything, without realizing that they should stop before Paul VI. The Gallican and Protestant theory - that in the first centuries of the Church there were several heretical Popes - was then recalled: why should this not be the case with Paul VI? They feverishly searched, traced and scrutinized data favorable to this thesis. They were able to find enough eh impugners of it, mainly in 'Cardinal St. Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church, main supporter of the absolute inerrancy of the Popes. Naturally, his refutations of this Gallican-Protestant error would be totally rejected. Saenz Arriaga wrote several bold pamphlets in the midst of a great spiritual agitation. He received many adherents, who encouraged him to go ahead. 13 14 NO POPE HAS EVER BEEN OR WILL EVER BE A HERETIC. At the height of his excitement, ready to throw down the gauntlet and believe himself to be the Savior of the Church, Father Saenz Arriaga feverishly wrote The New Montinian Church. Its appearance caused a tremendous stir. The author could be satisfied. From that moment on, intoxicated by the success of the scandal, it was impossible for him to retreat publicly. A) "His excommunication. The Cardinal-Archbishop of Mexico, Don Miguel Darío Miranda, declared Sáenz Arriaga excommunicated for his injurious judgments against Paul VI. Immediately, as if coming to the rescue, a former Catholic leader of the Christian era, René Capistrán Garza, who had years of having thrown himself into the arms of the Revolution, but who in any case was a writer of great prestige for his sharp wit, although totally superficial, declared himself "in communion with the excommunicated". The scandal no longer frightened anyone! And since the first to give it had been the progressives, headed by Méndez Arceo, Sáenz and his followers considered themselves innocent. Supported also, although only in part, by the anti-progressive forces of France, Saenz Arriaga came to think that soon a movement would be formed so powerful that it would achieve the general disavowal of Paul VI as Pope. Gloría Riestra could not remain in the shadows: she then said that Sáenz Arriaga "did not tell the whole truth" and asserted that he could not be excommunicated, because the one who had excommunicated him was already excommunicated beforehand for not having excommunicated the Pope. INTRODUCTION 15 P. Porfirio Miranda, s. j., author of Mar* and the Bible, when shortly before this book, model and synthesis of modern apostasy, was published. It is worthwhile to examine this case quickly. First of all, in Cardinal Miranda's defense, I repeat what I stated at the time in an article in La Hoja de Combate: the Cardinal certainly did not give the imprimatur of the said book: the Jesuits of the Mala Prensa put it there out of an old custom, by virtue of the absolute trust that the Buena Prensa had earned with Don José Antonio Romero, s.j. (q.e.p.d.). (r.i.p.d.). Whether the Cardinal did not excommunicate the former Jesuit Porfirio Miranda, once he knew about the matter, is another matter; whether he sinned for it, God knows. I do not know. He could have excommunicated him, but he had no canonical obligation to do so. The Cardinal did comply with the inescapable obligation to disavow the heretical book of Porfirio Miranda, although through P* Brambila. However, his lukewarm conduct in this case and his lamentable abstention in others, perhaps more serious, did not constitute heresy by far; and his few words have always been orthodox. But let us return to the excommunication of Fr. Saenz Arriaga. What did he and Gloria complain about, if they are the ones excommunicating the Pope and all the Mexican Objects? It is Saenz Arriaga and Gloria who did not want to commune with the Pope and our Bishops. And this is excommunicating themselves. With whom are Gloria and her priests in communion? Only they' among themselves and with those who condemn the Pope and the bishops/ So it is in their full right" was the Cardinal to declare that Fr. Saenz Arriaga had "excommunicated himself, that is, that he had broken communion with Paul VI. 16 NO POPE HAS EVER BEEN OR EVER WILL BE A HERETIC, THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THEM TO WORRY. tolic, they had no reason to worry about the latter declaring that Saenz Arriaga had excommunicated himself. * Let's see now if Saenz Arriaga is telling the truth: let's see if he is not a 'heretic for several' reasons: B) The 'Heresies of Saenz Arriaga. Heresy number 1 In Impact. nymerpf 1454 Gloria threw me a courageous . challenge. She said the; following: . "He affirms -^bascal- that the-father Sáen? Zurriaga said that .'as Eaulo VI is a sinner not pq§pé Ja le ¡divina y. that. por Jp tanto noes Papa'. I would like to ask Lic< Abascal to demonstrate a single line where Father ìSáenz has "(signed "this ¡stupidity. What the father affirmed up to the moment of his death, and what we affirm, ' is that Montini is not Pope because we have proved that he has,( 'óaído - in heresy and that he is destroying the Church; Never, neither the father nor we have spoken of 'sins' 'personal of Paul VI other than his heresies that we have proved, and of which nothing has been proved against Abascal".

By "readings", "commitments" and "human weaknesses" one can understand all the "immeasurable, even the greatest infamies.1 ' U <"'^^.4 : . 18r NINOI/n POPE HAS BEEN OR WILL BE A HERETIE í "I transcribed < that little phrase^ of-- Sáenz Arriäga'on page 15 of> my book Legitim y ¿mässen Defensa. del Papado^dc la Editorial tTrädición^añQíde 1973. -- - 'Nor does St. Peter's thesis! rTarñbiéni a; he attributed "weaknesses" of Christ to Peter: "And you, - already converted,! confirm your brothers," according to S'ede^Vacanté¡ §oh the proof of?

Further on, she says that they are millions, "a multitude of faithful people", without the Pope and without the Episcopate, since the Pope is no longer the Pope, and the Episcopate "en masse has abandoned" the truth. It is the same doctrine of Rousseau: in the number, in the multitude, lies the Truth.

According to this, outside of "precise cases", that is, as they explain, outside of when he speaks ex-cathedra, the Pope is like any one of us. Consequently, he ceases to be the Pope. They do not want to understand that neither Christ made this distinction, nor has the Magisterium ever formulated it in any way. The adversaries insist: not speaking ex cathedra, they say, the Pope, at least as a private person, can fall into heresy, and therefore, in such a case, he automatically ceases to be Pope. According to them, several Popes have been heretics. There is nothing particular, they add, that Paul VI was also a heretic, and was so for several chapters. Not only, say others, but his predecessor, John XXIII, was not legitimately elected! Finally, they add, the Second Vatican Council was a simple council or not binding because it was simply Pastoral, and in addition it has an erroneous Declaration, the one on Religious Liberty. 35 I '.'K - . f- MY THESIS Peter is not a "successor " .r lis of,' Christ -* " " > '.'-!--■-- * * , ' '- j - * fS * . . This desheg^ tempest -pie.1 ^ served to believe ,more and more firmly every day, ,cqn the Church*,,that Pedrpno.is a successor of Christ* but a' single.head, and^n ^only. f^^^ with ¡mq Christ himself* and that. each^ of the Popes rio has been, a siniple successpr . of Ped^p --which^ could, be, as" in the rneramepte jiumaho, .some .faithful ,and .others unfaithful^-;,,, but that each£ unp, has been, and, will continue to be, untilfa,rel. day of Judgment, the same Peter, not physically,. but morally, so, that as pj own. Peter, no one can deviate from the right Faith, nor can we deviate from the right Faith. Only in this way do the words of Christ make sense: "You shall be faithful, and this Rock shall build the Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it" (Mt. 16:18-19). This is how the Church has always believed, and this is how the First Vatican Council defined it as Dogma. The expression "private person" in relation to the Pope was born in the middle of the 15th century, in the mouth of St. Antoninus of Florence. Torquemada (+ 1468) converted it into "private man"; and then someone translated it into the modern expression: "private doctor". 37 38 NO POPE HAS BEEN OR WILL BE A HERETIC But these three expressions did not have the meaning that is now1 improperly given to them: they did not mean that the Pope could be considered at some point as if he ceased to be} but only this other: the Pope when he speaks or teaches but without passing sentence in a judgment in matters of/Faith, as in the Encyclicals - generally - as in ordinary catcquesis, as in SermórieS?

He is a man like any other ptrq^ and even if it is necessary to say '^pope, he is not, because he does not belong to the Papacy,' which, according to Sáenz Arriaga, is of divine institution^ Nq¡ he is Pope because he was not elected but by men, who . Where, then, is the Papacy of divine institution? By what right will the Popes be able to exercise the same powers as Peter and Christ? How will it be possible for Christ to undo or bind in heaven what they, if they, the usurpers, are unattentive to on earth? Fortunately, the saenzarriaguist sect is not the. Catholic Church. ~ . ' \ ia. The Catholic Church has always known and "taught with certainty that there is an identity of 'supernatural order, of divine powers,' absolute; 'between the Pope, whoever he may be, 'and the Pope:' identity that does not create physical identity. -* ' ' ' For which reason, in his Corpontarip a,St. MatthewJXj 1-^1 V), Origen says that the promise' which Christ hi±ed to Peter -tibí dabo claves regni, poelorum-rT, e$ ''para cual- 4'6 NO POPE HAS EVER BEEN OR WILL BE A HERETIE who will be Pddro",? i.e., the same Alexander VI as St. Pius X.'
