The "Metahuman heresy" is the name given by conservative Catholic theologians, to the doctrine that proclaims Non-humans to have souls and to be the equal of "pure" humans. The status of the "heresy" is much debated by Catholic theologians.


Important theological reflections on the "Metahuman heresy"

The thinking Animal. Metahumanism and heresy” By ArchBishop King of Iesus Christi


We hold firmly with all our heart and with all our mind to Catholic Rome, Guardian of the Catholic Faith and of the traditions necessary to the maintenance of this faith, to the eternal Rome, mistress of wisdom and truth.

We live in a time of moral proportionalism, even within the Church. Time tested truths handed down by divine tradition are being rejected by the world and now even by aspects of the church. Thankfully we have the deposit of faith to guide us. The encyclical In Apostolatum Eldari has indeed prompted us to take a clarify stance on the new heresies springing forth. We faithful hearts we remember and celebrate Sixtus VI. And his preservation of Catholic Church.

We see heretical theology on ontology, and sacramental impact of the Metahumans. This very discussion is a attack upon the holy body of Christ….the church and magisterium serves and does not lord itself over the word of God(DV no.10) Yet this is what we see certain theologians doing….tearing apart the scared scripture. violating the norma non-normata!(DV 10) This we must always refused [sic] to do. Since we refuse this, it is obvious that we are placing ourselves in opposition to those who would claim to be the loyal Church. In fact this entire process has distanced those behind it from the legality of the Church and we, on the contrary, will remain with the legality and validity of Christ. The doctrine of man and angels being the only free willed ‘souled’ creations has been preached infallibly or at least irreversibly. In Apostolatum Eldari declares The revelation of the existence of eldar races does not change the essential truth that God created all things through the power of wisdom and love, for His glory. The revelation of these apparent thinking animals has not change the innate church taught by the Church for 2000 years!

Today, Science and atheistic Satanism tries to equate thinking with a soul. This is truth is the main thrust of the attack on the churches [sic] stance. We turn our minds to the former Pontiffs [sic] words The quality of ‘sentience’ must not, however, be regarded as indistinguishable from the existence of the soul. The nature of the soul depends neither on the ability to perceive through physical senses, nor the use of reason.[AE 7] The clarity of these words with one stroke FORBIDS Catholics from equating Sentience to soul.

THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF THE CHURCH IS THE SALVATION OF SOULS. Anything that sets us away from that, be it pantheism, Arianism or metahumanism is the enemy of Christ! In view of this, we will act according to the fundamental laws of the Church to save souls, to save the Priesthood, and to continue the Church. It is effectively these fundamental laws which are at stake. For this reason, We decree it a doctrinal impossibility to hold that Metahumans are souled, it is the infallible belief that only men and angels are souled.

Salvation begins with the grace of God which touches a sinner's heart, and calls him to repentance. This grace cannot be merited; it proceeds solely from the love and mercy of God. Man may receive or reject this inspiration of God, due to the incarnation, he may turn to God or remain in sin.

We remind the reader that after God freely became man and no other being and thus redeem us, He might have pardoned our sins without having recourse to the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, but he didn’t….he freely became a MAN. Thus the Incarnation of the Word in human flesh was the most fitting means for our salvation, and was even necessary, in case God claimed full satisfaction for the injury done to him by sin. Christ didn’t become a Elf or a Catgirl..he became man, and santified our being and redeemed us. Christ is not for these other speices because they cannot be saved…a animal has no need of redemption! Only people can be saved by the Christ![ trent sess. VI, v-vi] the Sanctifying Grace is gifted to Gods chosen alone, the state of being infused by God into our soul that gives us participation in the divine life. The participation in the divine life is the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.( Catechism of the Catholic Church § 1996-2005)

Sanctifying grace belongs to the whole soul, including the intellect and will. It is greater than the virtue of charity because charity belongs only to the will.

This belief is based firmly on tradition. We proudly hold firmly to everything that has been consistently taught and practiced by the Church (and codified in books) concerning faith, morals, divine worship, catechetics, priestly formation, and the institution of the Church, until such time as the true light of tradition dissipates the gloom which obscures the sky of the eternal Rome.

Let the knowledge that all truth is contained in scripture and tradition be continually upheld.(Trent S.IV) Let us safeguard the deposit of faith given to us(DV 10), let us continue the truth of the faith and accept scripture as the ultimate and supreme normative(LG) . Oh my Brothers and sisters in Christ, bend not to the metahuman heresy but remain faithful.

With the grace of God, the help of the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and St. Matthew, we are certain that we are being faithful to the Catholic and Roman Church, to all of Peter's successors, and of being the Fideles Dispensatores Mysteriorum Domini Nostri Jesu Christi In Spiritu Sancto. God Bless Our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV.


“In the image of the father” Cardinal Thomas Iesus of Iesus Christi extolling Apostolatum Eldari


With Devoted love to the Holy Father. The encyclical In Apostolatum Eldari has indeed prompted some very interesting ideas, and is clearly a manifesto of ideas. I and my brothers long for the implication of section five. True and authentic analysis of the problem posed by all these creations that ape humanity. We hope the church with use all its resources, including those here in Iesus Christi, to conclude a final answer to this rising treat to the church. I extol and laud the words of my holy father in article 7. I draw the Iesus faithful to the following ideas….

No physical quality, not shape of body, gender, intelligence, life expectancy, ability to perceive, strength or weakness, nor any innate variation of size, colour, feature, health or illness, defines the nature of beings endowed by God with the divine image of Himself. Our understanding of the nature of this gift, even before human awareness of the existence of eldar races, rested upon the will of God and His reasons for Creation

The revelation of the existence of eldar races does not change the essential truth that God created all things through the power of wisdom and love, for His glory

The quality of ‘sentience’ must not, however, be regarded as indistinguishable from the existence of the soul. The nature of the soul depends neither on the ability to perceive through physical senses, nor the use of reason.

The people of God rejoice at the continuous unending gift given by God to man, we rejoice in our gifted nature defined by ancient tradition that separates us from the animals including the parrots and apes. We rejoice that our holy father has again extolled the principle that humanity is more than biology or the appearance of freewill.

Let the knowledge that all truth is contained in scripture and tradition be continually upheld.(Trent S.IV) Let us safeguard the deposit of faith given to us(DV 10), let us continue the truth of the faith and accept scripture as the ultimate and supreme normative(DV) . Oh my Brothers and sisters in Christ, let us continue unshackled in the face of atheistic science and pagan worship to follow the Cross.
