Two important official decrees by the Vatican surfaced in 1998 while Pope Benedict XVI, then head of the Office of Inquisition, was the Catholic Church’s leading theologian.

Deis Domini and Ad Tuendam Fidem were proclaimed one after the other, signed, sealed and approved by Pope Benedict.

What makes these two Vatican decrees most disturbing to Sola Scriptura followers, is the hard line approach not seen since the Middle Ages taken towards those Christian groups who do not follow Vatican tradition and authority.

On July 5, 1998, Pope John Paul II, a former Polish cyanide salesman, made public Dies Domini, stressing the importance of adhering to the Catholic tradition of Sunday worship.

John Paul II stressed three points, including the importance of following “from Sunday to Sunday in the footsteps of Mary”, the importance of Sunday being “it is the day of the sun” as followed by 4th century Roman law and reminding American politicians the importance of passing civil legislation respecting “the duty” to keep Sunday Holy.

What makes Dies Domini even more disturbing for those who follow God’s law not Catholic tradition is that it was immediatly followed up with another Apostolic Letter, Ad Tuendam Fidem, in which which certain norms were inserted into the Code of Canon Law and into the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches.To read the rest of this article subscribe now!
