Joseph
A. Ratzinger and Teilhard de Chardin
PURPOSE
The purpose of this brief document is to give a further insight into
Ratzinger's brand of theology and the seeds it plants in the
unEvangelized minds of most Christians.
The complexity of the words and grammatical structure may make the
quotes impossible to understand by many. If that is the case, just skip
the text and review the "CONCLUSIONS".
BACKGROUND
Mrs. R.M., a close cooperator, wrote:
Some
time back (January 2013) (1)
you referred, on one
of your posts, a link to Thomas H. Horn who was writing a series about
Exo-Vaticana (Jesuit at Vatican telescope using an instrument with the
surname of LUCIFER, apparently promoting the ideas of an
"extraterrestrial messiah".
On Part 16 of the series, dated March
27, 2013, Benedict is quoted as a Teilhard de Chardin's follower, and
that is made using quotations of 2 of his books. I remember some time
back that you also talked on your pages about that person (Chardin).
The pertinent parts are copied and pasted for your convenience.
We felt that the information shared by Mrs. R.M. was worthy of
publication in an effort to finish opening the eyes and ears of those
who are still having difficulty realizing the truth.

"Unbeknownst to most Roman Catholics, the retired Pope Benedict XVI is
a Chardinian mystic of the highest order. His book, Credo for Today:
What Christians Believe (2009), follows the lead of the Jesuit and
states unequivocally that a belief in Creationism (the idea that life,
the Earth, and the universe as we know it today did not "evolve" but
rather were created by the God of the Bible) "contradicts the idea of evolution and
[is] untenable today". [vii] Following his rejection of
Creationism and support of evolution, Pope Benedict XVI employed the
doctrine of the Second Coming of Christ to advance Chardin's "Omega
Point," in which a "new kind" of God, man, and mind will emerge. From
page 113 we read:
From
this perspective the belief in the second coming of Jesus Christ and in
the consummation of the world in that event could be explained as the
conviction that our history is advancing to an "omega" point, at which
it will become finally and unmistakably clear that the element of
stability that seems to us to be the supporting ground of reality, so
to speak, is not mere unconscious matter; that, on the contrary, the
real, firm ground is mind. Mind holds being together, gives it reality,
indeed is reality: it is not from below but from above that being
receives its capacity to subsist. That there is such a thing as this
process of 'complexification' of material being through spirit, and
from the latter its concentration into a new kind of unity can already
be seen in the remodeling of the world through technology. [viii]
The term "complexification"' was coined by Chardin (and the
technological allusions it suggests is akin to transhumanism and Ray
Kurzweil's Singularity) and the pope's complete devotion to this
theology is again laid bare in his book, Principles of Catholic
Theology (1987), which states:
The
impetus given by Teilhard de Chardin exerted a wide influence. With
daring vision it incorporated the historical movement of Christianity
into the great cosmic process of evolution from Alpha to Omega: since
the noogenesis, since the formation of consciousness in the event by
which man became man, this process of evolution has continued to unfold
as the building of the noosphere above the biosphere. [ix]
This "noosphere" is taken very seriously today in modernist Catholic
theology, academia, and even science. It is explained in the scientific
journal, Encyclopedia of Paleontology, this way:
Teilhard
coined the concept of the "noosphere," the new "thinking layer" or
membrane on the Earth's surface, superposed on the living layer
(biosphere) and the lifeless layer of inorganic matter (lithosphere).
Obeying the "law of complexification/conscience," the entire universe
undergoes a process of "convergent integration" and tends to a final
state of concentration, the "point Omega" where the noosphere will be
intensely unified and will have achieved a "hyperpersonal"
organization. Teilhard equates this future hyperpersonal psychological
organization with an emergent divinity [a future new form of God].
[x]
The newly sanctioned doctrine of an approaching "emergent divinity" in
place of the literal return of Jesus Christ isn"'t even that much of a
secret any longer among Catholic priests (though the cryptic Chardian
lingo masks it from the uninitiated). For instance, in his July 24,
2009, homily in the Cathedral of Aosta while commenting on Romans
12:1-2, the pope said:
The
role of the priesthood is to consecrate the world so that it may become
a living host, a liturgy: so that the liturgy may not be something
alongside the reality of the world, but that the world itself shall
become a living host, a liturgy. This is also the great vision of
Teilhard de Chardin: in the end we shall achieve a true cosmic liturgy,
where the cosmos becomes a living host. [xi]
This is overtly pantheistic and, of course, the text he was discussing
(Romans 12) teaches the exact opposite: "Be not conformed to this
world" (Romans 12:2a). While the pope thus aggressively promotes
Chardin's process of "noogenesis" in which the cosmos comes alive and
everyone unifies as a "living host," one can readily see that Brahman,
Nirvana, Overmind, and Singularity are roughly equivalent to this
monistic concept. Interestingly, noogenesis actually has two uses: one
in Chardin's Darwinian pantheism - and another, more telling rendering
- within modern astrobiology."
CONCLUSION
It is very hard to be charitable when faced with so much meaningless
verbiage. Neither the author of the quoted article nor Ratzinger have
the slightest idea of what mysticism
or being mystic is.
Much less about what they are trying to explain.
Compare the above gibberish with the simplicity and clarity Jesus spoke
and that of those who today speak His Words. A 'text book example' of a
similar collection of gibberish are the fifteen books that Augustine (3)
wrote trying to
explain the concept of the Most Holy Trinity and how - with God given
words - in less than two pages (4) it was
explained in its totality. The "totality", of course, which is
comprehensible to a human mind

Lucifer Instrument Helps Astronomers See
Through Darkness to Most
Distant Observable Objects. (a)
A new instrument with an evil-sounding name is helping scientists see
how stars are born. Lucifer,
which stands for (deep breath) "Large
Binocular Telescope Near-infrared Utility with Camera and Integral
Field Unit for Extragalactic Research", is a chilled instrument
attached to a telescope in Arizona. And yes, it's named for the Devil,
whose name itself means "morning star." But it wasn't meant to evoke
him, according to a spokesman for the University of Arizona, where it
is housed.
The instrument is chilled to -213 Celsius, about -351 F, to allow for
near-infrared observations. That wavelength is important for
understanding star and planet formation, as well as observing very
distant and very young galaxies. Lucifer has three interchangeable
cameras for imaging and spectroscopy in different resolutions. It has a
large field of view and high-res capabilities, which allow a wide range
of observations.
Lucifer is part of the Large
Binocular Telescope, which happens to be
right next to the Vatican Observatory on Mt. Graham in Tucson.
That's
right, the Vatican has an
observatory in Arizona, manned by Jesuit
astronomers. Now its next-door neighbor is named for the Devil.
