Religious Liberty!
Frank Sinatra heresy song!
“That’s America to me”
(All races And religions)
Bing Crosby heresy song!
“Free to sail the seven seas”
(Free to worship as we please)
Religious liberty was condemned by Pope Gregory XVI (1830-1846) in the encyclical Mirari vos (August 15, 1832), then by Pius IX (1846-1878) in the encyclical Quanta cura (December 8, 1864).
First point:
the best plan for public society and civil progress absolutely requires that human society be established and governed with no regard to religion, as if it did not exist, or at least without making distinction between the true and the false religions and consequently the best condition of society is the one in which there is no acknowledgment by the government of the duty of restraining, by established penalties, offenders of the Catholic religion, except insofar as the public peace demands.
Condemned!!!
liberty of conscience and of worship is the proper right of every man, and should be proclaimed and asserted by law in every correctly established society; that the right to all manner of liberty rests in the citizens, not to be restrained by either ecclesiastical or civil authority; and that by this right they can manifest openly and publicly and declare their own concepts, whatever they be, by voice, by print, or in any other way.
Condemned!!!
Religious indifferentism
This twofold condemnation applies to two different expressions of one and the same error, the error of the religious indifferentism of public authorities.
The civil authorities must not intervene to repress the external manifestations of false religions within the framework of social life, which are necessarily violations of Catholic law.
Individuals have the right not to be prevented by the authorities from performing in the external forum of social life the external acts of their religion, whether it is true or false.
This error, once condemned, is today at the basis of all modern democracies.
This false principle was condemned by Gregory XVI and Pius IX in holy apostolic authority!
Religious liberty is insanity!
Pope Gregory XVI
Gregory XVI, in "Mirari vos" of August 15, 1832 DS 2730:
"We now continue with a most fertile cause of evils by which we deplore that the Church at present is being afflicted, that is, indifferentism, or that evil opinion....that by any profession of faith whatsoever, the eternal salvation of the soul can be attained, if morals are kept to the norm of the right and good.... And from this must putrid font of indifferentism flows that absurd and erroneous view or rather insanity, that liberty of conscience should be asserted and claimed for just anyone."
Pius IX, "Quanta cura," Dec. 8, 1864 ASS 3.162: [We have added numbers for convenience in commenting]".
1."For you know well...that there are not a few, who...applying that impious and absurd principle of what is called naturalism, dare to teach, 'that the best state of public society and civil progress absolutely requires that human society should be so constituted and governed, that there is no consideration of religion, as if it [religion] did not exist, or at least with no distinction made between true and false religions.'"
Jn 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way,the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Jn 10:16 one flock, one shepherd.
Conclusion!
Religious Liberty is condemned by holy apostolic authority in the church of Jesus Christ!
