Protestant uproar at Vatican document
Cape Town - South African Protestant churches on Tuesday reacted 
strongly to a newly-published Vatican document, approved by the 
Pope, which describes Protestant churches as "deficient".

The German press agency DPA reported that the document, 
authored by German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and titled the 
Declaration Dominus Iesus, is to be sent to Catholic bishops 
worldwide.

In it Ratzinger, a chief ideologue in the Catholic Church as 
Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith -- 
a reincarnation of the inquisition -- describes Protestant 
churches as "not proper" churches and says their rituals 
constitute "an obstacle to salvation".

Vatican seeks to build religious bridges

promote dialogue with other religions," he said.

'Good Pope' and 'bad' take step on road to sainthood
"MORE than 100,000 people withstood baking heat to attend a ceremony at St 
Peter's yesterday in which one of Roman Catholicism's most beloved popes 
was beatified, along with one of its most controversial and disliked.

In his homily during the Mass in which the two men were pronounced "Blessed" - 
the first step to canonization - the present Pope underlined the difference between 
John XXIII (1958-1963), known as the "Good Pope", and Pius IX (1846-1878).

Of the first, who had ferried the Church into the modern world with his reforms and 
convening of the Second Vatican Council, he said that Pope John's "smiling face 
and arms spread wide in an embrace of the entire world" would always be 
remembered.

By contrast Pius IX, whose critics say was a reactionary and an anti-Semite who 
had called the Jews "dogs", and an authoritarian who decreed the dogma of 
papal infallibility, was "much loved, but also hated and slandered". But the 
Pope said that the two men had also much in common, especially spiritually. 
He drew attention to Pius's convoking of the first Vatican Council, and his 
proclaiming the Immaculate Conception as dogma.

During the ceremony, at which many clergy wore hats to ward off the heat, 
the mention of Pius IX drew only staid clapping. But when Cardinal Camillo 
Ruini read details of the life of John XXIII, he was interrupted three times by 
warm applause..." The Electronic Telegraph, Sep. 4, 2000

Vatican Claims Church Monopoly on Salvation
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, September 6, 2000 ; Page A13

ROME, Sept. 5 –– A new Vatican dictum issued today declares that 
individuals can attain full salvation from earthly sin only through 
the spiritual grace of the Catholic Church and that other faiths--including 
Protestant Christian ones--have defects that place their followers in a 
"gravely deficient situation" in seeking salvation.The goal, according 
to a top Vatican official, is to combat the "so-called theology of 
religious pluralism,"......The Rev. Valdo Benecchi, president of the 
Methodist Evangelical Churches of Italy, declared: "It's a jump 
backwards in terms of ecumenism and with dialogues with other 
religions. There is nothing new about this, but we had hoped they 
had taken another road. This is a return to the past. . . . The 
salvation through Christ is not deposited in one religion only. 
This puts not only the Catholic Church at the center, but 
especially the Catholic hierarchy."...As such, it reflects age-old 
Vatican anxieties about the dilution of Catholic authority, which 
Church officials maintain comes directly from God through the pope....
It also reminds Catholics that their duty is to evangelize adherents of 
other faiths during any dialogue, an idea that has rankled Orthodox Christian 
leaders, among others, who have long accused the Vatican of 
trying to convert their followers....The document appears to differentiate 
non-Catholic Christian churches from other religions. The non-Catholic 
churches "suffer from defects,".... But today's declaration is 
concerned more with establishing limits than breaking barriers, 
and its tone at times seems closer to the inhibiting orders of the 
First Vatican Council, in 1870, which was convened just as the 
Church's political control over a sizable chunk of Italy was 
slipping away. ...True tolerance . . . is being manipulated and 
surpassed today" by theologians who advance such ideas while 
propagating "the erroneous idea that the religions of the world 
are complementary to the Christian revelation," Ratzinger warned.

Vatican: All others run second to Catholics
Wednesday, September 6, 2000
The Vatican on Tuesday reasserted its position that non-Catholic 
Christians, while they may have a relationship with God, are at
best second-class Christians and that the Protestant churches 
they attend are "not churches in the proper sense."

The document also takes strong issue with the view that there should be 
equity among the world's religions, and says "the church's constant
missionary proclamation is endangered today by relativistic theories 
which seek to justify religious pluralism" -- or the idea that all parts of 
Christianity are equal or that one religion is as good as another.

Despite the Vatican's extensive dialogue with other world religions, 
heightened during the papacy of John Paul II, the document says -- in 
language more remarkable for its tone than its message -- that followers 
of other creeds are "in a gravely deficient situation" in terms of 
chances for salvation.

At the same time, the long theological document -- called "Dominus Iesus: 
On the Unicity and Salvific Universality of Jesus Christ and the Church" -- 
says that some "elements of truth" can be found in other Christian 
denominations and that non-Catholics may have some "importance 
in the mystery of salvation." But even these things depend upon the 
teaching of the Catholic Church, whether the non-Catholic believers 
acknowledge it or not.

To say that the unity of the church is symbolic unity, comprising all 
elements of Christianity, is not proper Catholic teaching, the document says. 
"The Christian faithful are therefore not permitted to imagine that the Church 
of Christ is nothing more than a collection -- divided, yet in some way one -- 
of Churches and ecclesial communities."

Nor is it correct to say that the unity of the church is a "goal." The full unity 
of the church already exists in Roman Catholicism, the document declares.

Furthermore, an accompanying letter to the world's bishops from Cardinal 
Joseph Ratzinger, the Vatican's chief theologian, says that Catholics 
should not refer to Protestant churches as "sister" churches, because 
that diminishes the Roman Catholic Church's position as "the mother 
of all churches." Calling other Christians "sister churches," is
"sloppy terminology," the Ratzinger letter said.....the council itself 
referred to non-Catholic churches only as "ecclesial communities," 
rather than "churches."....Ratzinger said the "principle of tolerance 
and respect for freedom" promoted by the reforms of the Second 
Vatican Council are being "manipulated' and "wrongfully surpassed."...
said the Rev. Robert Kriesat of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in 
Chatham, ecumenical officer for the New Jersey Synod of the Evangelical 
Lutheran Church in America. "The 'sister church' language is something 
we have come to enjoy, a very good feeling," he said, "and I think this 
is going to set back the ecumenical agenda."....John Borelli, assistant 
director of the ecumenical office for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. 
He said that the church has always "been careful about using the term 
'sister church' in official publications."

While praising "some elements" of other religions and their sacred 
writings, the document notes that the Vatican Council declared that 
only the Christian scriptures can be considered as teaching the truth 
about God "firmly, faithfully, and without error" and added that if 
any "truth" is found outside the Roman Catholic Church, it will be 
somehow incomplete and imperfect."

 Sept. 5, 2000

The Vatican has rejected what it said were growing attempts to 
depict all religions and branches of the Christian Church as equal.

In a highly controversial document published on Tuesday, the
Roman Catholic Church reaffirmed its belief that it is the 
only true one, and that other Christian communities such as 
Protestants are not Churches in the proper sense of the word.

The document has provoked a storm of criticism, particularly from 
members of the Anglican Church, who see it as undermining the 
progress of recent years towards dialogue between different religions.

'Wound for Church'

The 36-page document, called Dominus Iesus, was written by 
Pope John Paul II's chief expert on doctrine, Cardinal Josef 
Ratzinger, although it was approved and signed by the Pope 
himself.

Presenting the document at a news conference in Rome, the 
cardinal said that theologians were "manipulating and going 
beyond the limits of tolerance when they put all religions 
on the same plane".

The document ruled out "a religious relativism which leads to the 
belief that 'one religion is as good as another'".

It also said that other Christian communities, such as Anglicans or 
Protestants which broke away from the Vatican during the Reformation, 
"are not Churches in the proper sense".

It stated that non-Christians were "in a gravely deficient situation" 
with regard to salvation and that even other Christian Churches 
had defects partly because they did not recognise the 
primacy of the Pope.

And it conceded that "the lack of unity among Christians is 
certainly a wound for the Church".

Pope's sorrow

Correspondents say the document could set back much of the 
progress achieved by the Pope who has made inter-religious 
dialogue one of his main goals.

During a visit to Israel, the Pope made conciliatory moves 
towards the Jews, expressing sorrow for a history of anti-Semitism 
in the Roman Catholic Church.

Britain's Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sacks, said he feared the new 
document might undo much of this good.

But correspondents say that the allegedly negative tone of the 
document sits uneasily in the more liberal, democratic 
atmosphere of the 21st century.

Vatican: Our Brand Is Best
Accuses Theologians Of Manipulating Fundamentals Says 
Equality Of Religions Endangers Catholic Missionary Message 
Declaration Raises Questions About Vatican's Efforts At 
Better Relations

ROME, - September 6, 2000

(CBS) Asserting the primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, 
the Vatican issued a declaration Tuesday rejecting what it 
said are growing attempts to depict all religions as equal.

CBS News Correspondent Sabina Castelfranco reports 
the 36-page declaration accused some Catholic theologians 
of manipulating fundamental truths of the church to justify 
religious pluralism as a principle. The idea that "one 
religion is as good as another" endangers the church's 
missionary message, the declaration said.

"If it is true that the followers of other religions can 
receive divine grace, it is also certain that, objectively 
speaking, they are in a gravely deficient situation in 
comparison with those who, in the church, have the 
fullness of the means of salvation," said the declaration 
by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the 
Vatican's guardian of orthodoxy.

Turning to other Christian denominations, the document 
said "they derive their efficacy from the very fullness 
of grace and truth entrusted to the Roman Catholic Church."

The document is certain to raise questions about the 
direction of the church's efforts for better relations with 
non-Catholics. Pope John Paul II has made inter-religious 
dialogue one of the principal goals of his 22-year papacy,
but the document made clear that for the Vatican, equality 
refers to the "personal dignity" of individuals and not 
to religious doctrine.

Anglicanism's spiritual leader, Archbishop of Canterbury 
George Carey, said "the idea that Anglican and other 
churches are not 'proper churches' seems to question 
the considerable gains we have made."

The World Council of Churches said it would be a "tragedy"  
if Christian cooperation was "obscured by the churches"  
dialogue about their relative authority and status - however 
important they may be."

Tuesday's document and remarks at a news conference by 
the congregation's head, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, 
repeatedly referred to a trend toward a "religious relativism."

Ratzinger said the "principle of tolerance and respect 
for freedom" promoted by the reforms of the Second 
Vatican Council are today being "manipulated" and 
"wrongfully surpassed." He didn't name any of the 
errant theologians.

Regarding other Christians, the document said "there 
exists a single church of Christ, which subsists in the 
Catholic church, governed by the successor of Peter 
and by the bishops in communion with him." But it 
said "baptism" in other denominations "tends per se 
toward the full development of life in Christ."

The declaration, a complex theological document, was 
titled On the Unity and Salvific Universality of Jesus Christ 
and the Church. It underlined that it was only reiterating 
long-held teaching, citing a Second Vatican Council 
declaration that "We believe that this one true religion 
continues to exist in the Catholic and Apostolic Church."

The Vatican's missionary activity has come under fire in 
some parts of the world. During a trip to India last year, 
where he faced protests by some Hindus, the pope 
called for religious tolerance but said the church 
had the right to spread its message.

Cardinal William Keeler of Baltimore, who is active 
in dialogue with American Jews, said he didn't expect 
any problems from the reiteration of the church position.  
He attended the news conference.

Vatican Says Other Christian Faiths Are Not `Proper 
Churches'
Vatican City, Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Christian religions that 
differ from Roman Catholicism cannot be considered ``proper 
churches,'' the Vatican said today, reaffirming its stance that it 
is the one, true Christian faith.

``The ecclesial communities which have not preserved the valid 
Episcopate,'' and do not recognize the Pope as their spiritual 
leader ``are not Churches in the proper sense,'' said the 
Declaration Dominus Iesus, or Lord Jesus.

Issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the 
Vatican body formerly known as the Inquisition, the document 
is already drawing criticism from Protestant church leaders....
The document released today reiterated that the Catholic Church 
does recognize the baptisms of other Christian churches. 
``Those who are baptized in these communities are in a certain 
communion, albeit imperfect, with the Catholic Church,'' the 
declaration said.

Other churches not true faith, says Vatican

September 5, 2000
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) ....
The 36-page document, which has already sparked fresh debate, 
was prepared by the Vatican's Congregation of the Doctrine of 
the Faith and approved by Pope John Paul.

It said the clarification and restatement of the official Catholic position
 was necessary to contest "relativistic theories which seek to 
justify religious pluralism" as a principle rather than a de facto 
practice. It said only the revelation of Jesus Christ was "definitive
and complete." Asserting that Christian revelation could be 
complementary to that found in other religions was "contrary 
to the Church's faith."

The document was addressed primarily to Catholic theologians 
but it appeared destined to spark dialogue on all levels with 
other Christian Churches and with non-Christians.

Religions 'not on same plane'

At a news conference to present the document, Cardinal Joseph 
Ratzinger, the Vatican's doctrinal head, said some theologians 
were "manipulating and going beyond the limits" of tolerance 
when they put all religions on the same plane.

Ratzinger said this did not reflect what he called "an objective 
and universal truth."

Walking a theological tightrope, the document said the "Church 
of Christ" was present and operative in other Christian Churches t
oday.

But, in the Vatican's view, it subsists fully in the Roman 
Catholic Church because the Pope is the successor to 
St. Peter, whom Christ named as his first vicar on Earth. 
Papal primacy was divinely willed, it said.

"Therefore, there exists a single Church of Christ, which 
subsists in the Catholic Church, governed by the Successor 
of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him," it said.

Defects' of other Churches

Some other Christian churches, while not in "perfect union," 
remained united to Catholics by close bonds, it said.

"The Church of Christ is present and operative also in these 
churches, even though they lack full communion with the Catholic 
Church since they do not accept the Catholic doctrine of the 
primacy, which, according to the will of God, the Pope 
objectively has and exercises over the entire Church," it said.

While other Christian churches "suffer from defects," the 
document said they had not been deprived of what it called 
"significance and importance in the mystery of salvation."

But it was the Catholic Church which possessed and had
been entrusted with "the fullness of grace and truth."

It said because Christ was the son of God, non-Christians 
were at a disadvantage regarding salvation.

Carey rebukes Vatican over 'improper' slur

THE Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr George Carey, rebuked
the Roman Catholic Church yesterday over its assertion that 
the Church of England is not a "proper" Church...The declaration, 
approved by the Pope, effectively 
condemns all post-Reformation Churches. It says: 
"Ecclesial communities that have not preserved the 
valid Episcopate and the genuine and integral substance 
of the eucharistic mystery are not Churches in the proper sense."....
The declaration comes from the hardline, conservative-dominated 
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, formerly the Inquisition. 
Although written by its Prefect, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, it has 
the specific authority of Pope John Paul II.

Vatican declaration provokes churches
Catholic doctrine teaches that Rome is the "mother church"

Protestant church leaders have expressed their disappointment at 
a document issued by the Vatican which reaffirms the Catholic 
stance on other churches.

The Dominus Iesus declaration, which has been written by a 
close aide of Pope John Paul II, says that the Roman Catholic 
church is the "mother" of all Christian denominations and that
it is incorrect to refer to the Church of England and other 
Protestant churches as "sister" organizations on a par with Rome....

'No slight intended'

The term "sister churches" is often used in dialogue aimed 
at fostering closer ties among Christians.

The Pope has made steps toward unity with other Christians, 
a key goal of his papacy in Christianity's third millennium.

But Cardinal Ratzinger, the Vatican official in charges of ensuring 
doctrinal correctness, is quoted in the document as saying 
that considering the Catholic church as one way of salvation 
alongside those represented by other religions, is going 
"against the faith"....

Churches stunned by Pope's attack on 'defects'

THE Church of England and all other Protestant churches 
are not "proper" churches because they suffer from "defects", 
according to the Roman Catholic Church.

In a declaration approved by the Pope, the Vatican will also 
state that followers of all non-Christian religions are 
"gravely deficient" and their rituals constitute "an obstacle 
to salvation".

The statements are contained in Declaration Dominus Iesus, 
to be published in Rome tomorrow. Although not in the 
name of the Pope, it was approved by him and "reflects 
his thinking".

Although written by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the 
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican body 
formerly known as the Inquisition, the declaration has the 
authority of Pope John Paul II.

The declaration is merciless in its cutting through of the 
diplomatic language of ecumenism and inter-faith relations 
of recent decades.

It is also an attack on a number of priests and theologians, 
in particular in India and South-East Asia, as well as a 
warning to other Roman Catholics to stay in line.....
It is a return to the idea that the Catholic Church 
is the embodiment of the truth and anything that falls short 
of the Catholic Church is not the fullness of the truth. It is 
terrible."

Other churches are no sisters of ours, the Vatican insists
September  4, 2000

The Vatican has decreed that the Catholic Church is the 
"mother of all churches" and banned the term "sister 
churches" to describe other denominations, in two new 
documents that could harm Vatican efforts towards unity 
with other believers.

In a letter to bishops worldwide on Saturday, Pope John 
Paul II's chief theological adviser, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, 
said it was incorrect to call Christian churches, ranging 
from Protestant to Orthodox, "sister churches" of the 
Catholic Church.

The Cardinal said the term was "sloppy terminology" and 
could not be used to describe Christian communities that 
were not actually in communion with Rome. "It must be 
always clear that the one, holy, catholic and apostolic 
universal church is not the sister, but the mother of all 
the churches," the cardinal said....  
but not to those that broke away at the time of the Protestant 
Reformation, because they are not "churches in the proper sense".

The phrase "sister church" is already widely used in dialogue 
aimed at fostering closer ties among Christians of other denominations 
– one of the Pope's main goals in Christianity's third millennium. 
However, the cardinal's ban has the 80-year-old pontiff's approval.  
The ban is expected to arouse strong criticism among churchmen, 
both Catholic and Protestant, working for Christian unity.

HOUSE PASSES BILL COMBATING ANTI-CATHOLIC 
ATTEMPTS TO EXPEL VATICAN FROM THE UN

(Washington, DC) - The House of Representatives today 
passed H. Con Res 253, a resolution which puts Congress 
on record as strongly against the current effort to expel the 
Holy See from the United Nations by depriving it of the 
Permanent Observer status it has held for over 35 years. ….
"Frustrated by the success of the Holy See at cooperating with 
other delegations to defend the sanctity of life and the integrity 
of the family against radical proposals at UN international conferences, 
those organizations decided to try a new tactic They are now 
trying to subvert free discussion on these topics in the future 
by depriving the Holy See of its rightful place at the table. This 
proposal is an ideological power play, motivated by anti-catholic 
and pro-abortion sentiment, and it must be stopped," }
added Smith.

This legislation, which has 38 co-sponsors, commends the 
Holy See for its strong commitment to fundamental human 
rights and states that "any degradation of the status accorded 
to the Holy See at the United Nations would seriously damage 
"the credibility of the U.N. by demonstrating that its rules of 
participation are manipulable for ideological reasons rather 
than being rooted in neutral principles and objective facts ."

"The Holy See had the option to adopt Member-State status, 
but true to their bi-partisan, non-political nature, the Vatican chose 
to remain an observer," said Smith. "Now there is a political 
movement, led by those who hold contempt for the Catholic 
church and its teachings, to expel the Vatican entirely, and this 
is unacceptable," added Smith….Today Congress has sent a 
clear message that this shameful eruption of anti-Catholic 
bigotry will not be tolerated," added Smith.

Catholic Bashing?
"....When Bob Jones Sr. founded his university in 1927, explicit 
anti-Catholicism was a staple of conservative American Protestantism. 
Americans alarmed at the influx of Irish and Italian immigrants took 
solace in Reformation descriptions of the Pope as the Whore of 
Babylon. Eventually most American Protestants left anti-Catholicism 
behind, and from the 1950s on, Billy Graham led many Evangelicals 
toward a greater tolerance..."
