Believe or Be Condemned, Sermon by Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX

We are tempted today by the false idea of religious indifferentism: this is the idea that all religions are equally good, that they all lead to Heaven.The Athanasian Creed is very clear in saying the opposite. Its opening words say the following: “Whoever wills to be in a state of salvation, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith, which except everyone shall have kept whole and undefiled without doubt he will perish eternally. Now the catholic faith is that we worship One God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the Persons nor dividing the substance.”These words, while they represent what we believe, are very jarring to modern ears. Modern people say: “Why is this the case? How is it that we can be damned to Hell for a single false belief? “How can God damn me to Hell for the way that I think? Did He not give me free will? Why would He care what I think?”1. The truth is part of what gets you to Heaven. You cannot get to Heaven without the truth. The truth of the Trinity is a truth about God Himself. It is God telling you Who He is. If God tells you who He is and you refuse to believe it and worship something else, then you are not worshiping the true God. You are worshiping a false god!2. Heresy is a sin against God. We are obliged to obey Him because we are His creatures. If God tells me Who He is and tells me to believe Him, then I sin against Him by rejecting what He has said. I am saying that I do not believe Him. I am saying that I do not want Him. This is why belief in the Trinity was so important for Our Lord. Remember what He said:“Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:19-20). “He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believes not shall be condemned” (Mk. 16:16)This is why the martyrs throughout the history of the Church were willing to die rather than deny the faith. They realized that when they were being asked to deny the faith, they were being asked to make a choice: lose your physical life or lose your eternal life.

But you people don't believe. You rather believe that people can be saved without faith in Christ and without reception of the Sacrament of Baptism. That is formal heresy. Nobody remains a member of Christ, be he priest, bishop or pope, who believes and preaches what denies even one dogma of the Catholic Faith. The denial of this dogma on the plea of "a deeper understanding" (condemned), destroys the reason for the sacrifice of Christ and the ministry of salvation of the Church He founded. Your are not Catholics, whatever you wear and whatever you build. Fundamentalist Protestants and so-called Evangelical Protestants would never accept your denial of the absolute necessity for adults of Faith in Christ, the universal Redeemer, for salvation.
"It is impossible that any of the praedestinate should depart this life without having received the Sacrament of baptism" - St. Augustine
"Whoever says that the Baptism is optional, that is, not necessary for salvation: let him be anathema." - Council of Trent, Session 7, canon 5 on the Sacrament of Baptism.
Will you admit your error and be converted? Highly dubious, because your founder taught it. "Cursed be the the man who trusts in man." - Psalms
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in Princes." - Psalms
The authentic Magisterium of the Church is The Lord,and not this or that bishop or archbishop.:
Dogmas mean exactly what the words say, no more and no less They are truths fallen from Heaven.
"He who hears you , hears Me."

Not sure how that has anything to do with what I said. "Believe my specific religion or burn in hell" or any sentence close to that, is disgusting.
