Vatican Preacher Again Utters Heresy:
'God does not Love Himself; that would be Narcissism'
Reality Check: "God . . . necessarily loves Himself" --First Vatican Council (1870), Session 3, Canon 1.5 (Denzinger 1805); "the love of God for Himself and its necessity arises from the fact that God is the Supreme Good and that He in His comprehensive self-knowledge completely knows His infinite amiability" (Ludiwg Ott, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, p.45); "the object of the divine will is His goodness, which is His essence" (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, I,19,1,ad.3). Last time we checked, God commanded even us mortals to love ourselves (Matt. 22:39). Narcissism?
But who is surprised? This is the same preacher who said God positively wills all religions!

WE HAVE BEEN WARNED:
"The underlying principle of these new opinions is that, in order to more easily attract those who differ from her, the Church should shape her teachings more in accord with the spirit of the age and relax some of her ancient severity and make some concessions to new opinions. Many think that these concessions should be made not only in regard to ways of living, but even in regard to doctrines which belong to the deposit of the faith. They contend that it would be opportune, in order to gain those who differ from us, to omit certain points of her teaching which are of lesser importance, and to tone down the meaning which the Church has always attached to them." --Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical Testem Benevolentiae, 1899
Compare that to John XXIII: "Nowadays, however, the Spouse of Christ prefers to make use of the medicine of mercy rather than that of severity." --Opening Address at Second Vatican Council, October 11, 1962

"Ratzinger the Traditionalist" Update:

Reality Check: "It is forbidden that the Sacraments of the Church be ministered to heretics and schismatics, even if they ask for them and are in good faith, unless beforehand, rejecting their errors, they are reconciled with the Church." (1917 Code of Canon Law, Canon 731.2)
What you may not know: the Novus Ordo Church does already permit Protestants to receive Communion sometimes: "While it is never legitimate to concelebrate [the Holy Mass] in the absence of full communion, the same is not true with respect to the administration of the Eucharist under special circumstances, to individual persons belonging to Churches or Ecclesial Communities not in full communion with the Catholic Church" (John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, n. 45, 2003)
The same is legislated in the Novus Ordo Code of Canon Law of 1983 (exposed here)

Benedict XVI with Assorted Non-Catholics

In 2001, Ratzinger's Congregation declared Pope Leo XIII's Condemnation of 40 Rosmini Errors as Time-Conditioned and Falsely Interpreting Rosmini's Thought
Ah, see! The Church under Leo XIII just didn't understand Rosmini! Yet, Rosmini submitted when his books were censored. Hmm, maybe in the future Ratzinger's decree will be overturned because it, too, was merely time-conditioned and the result of a Neo-Modernist "context and situation"?
Reality Check: The Church can authoritatively define the objective meaning of a book: "If the Church could not define the orthodox or unorthodox sense of books, . . . she could not fulfil her task as practical teacher of humanity, not protect her children from actual concrete dangers to their faith and morals." --Catholic Encyclopedia, s.v. "Dogmatic Fact"
