ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI TO THE MEMBERS OF THE TRIBUNAL OF THE ROMAN ROTA Clementine Hall Saturday, 27 January 2007 Dear Prelate Auditors, Officials and Collaborators of the Tribunal of the Roman Rota,

The 21st century needs a revival of Naturalistic Jurisprudence. In the begining of the United States, The Declaration of Independence refered to "the Laws of Nature." The Declaration of Independence, before citing "equality" and "life" and "liberty" as unalienable rights; first stated that these are "self evident." Internationally, human law must conform too, and be the particular application of the Natural Law. A human society anywhere, and at any time, has to have some common values like respect for life and liberty. Without these common values, being protected by law, then their results a culture of chaos and death. The criminal character, of such acts as murder, have been regard as such, by God, from the beginning (Genesis). Saint Thomas Aquinas states that the law of nature is "nothing else than the participation of the eternal law in the rational creature." In the 1930's and 1940's, the laws of Hitler's Germany, effectively "re-defied" murder as something like "genetic purification." Those laws, in violation of Natural Law, were not authentic law - they were fraudulent. At Nuremberg, Germany, Albert Speer avoided the death penalty [ ah! Did Albert Speer really avoid the death penalty? Where is he now? ( Proverbs 24:11-12 ) ] but he received a 20 year prison sentence. Much later on Albert Speer admitted: "we chose not to know".

Authentic Law should not violate Natural Law.

Notice especially, in the example of the trial of Albert Speer, that there is such a thing as Natural Law. There is such a thing as religious truth. Notice especially, that human life needs protection now; whether or not everyone in society has acknowledged that truth or not. Hitler's architects of death, Albert Speer and others "chose not to know." They killed tens of millions of people. When we effectively "re-define" murder as "legal abortion"; when we "re-define" a child in its mothers womb as a "specimen" we also "choose not to know." We also kill tens of millions of people. The United States laws effectively "re-defining" murder as legal abortion, are a violation of Natural Law; they are not authentic law - they are fraudulent. We will all face judgment after our death. "Feigned Ignorance," and "Sloth," only having made us more culpable. Girls are even being counseled by their Pastors, or at their church, to get an abortion. There is no such thing as an "unwanted baby" ( Psalm 139:13-16 ) ( Jeremiah 1:4-5 ) ( Isaiah 49:14-17 ). James says that the body apart from the spirit is dead ( James 2:26 ). If the baby in the womb is not alive, there would be no one there to kill! A live baby has an eternal soul. In Scripture, no distinction is made between babies in the womb ( Luke 1:41,44 ), and a newborn ( Luke 18:15-17). The same Greek word brephos is used. Sirach 19:11 uses brephos in reference to a baby in the womb. (Other passages where brephos is used are: Lk 2:12, 16; Acts 7:19; 2 Tim 3:15; 1 Peter 2:2; 1 Macc 1:61; 2 Macc 6:10; and the non-canonical 3 Macc 5:49 and 4 Macc 4:25 ) Christ will have a "vote" in the matter of our eternal destiny. This is true, even if both you and your Pastor, do declare: "once saved, always saved." Leading sheep astray is a grave matter ( Luke 17:2 ). It is enough just to be human to have the right to life. We can either obey God, and the Natural Law now, or obey Satan for all eternity - but we are going to obey somebody.

If we will not acknowledge Truth and reality on our own, then God will assist us with that on our individual day of judgment.

Prayer of Saint Thomas More

Lord, grant that I may be
Able in argument,
Accurate in analysis,
Strict in study,
Candid with clients, and
Honest with adversaries.
Sit with me at my desk and
Listen with me to my client's plaints,
Read with me in the library, and
Stand beside me in court,
So that today I shall not,
In order to win a point,
Lose my soul.
Amen.

Saint Thomas More
" . . . Though they take our life,
our goods,
our honor,
our children,
our wife
- yet is their gain small
- for these will vanish all.
Only the city of God remaineth! . . . "

Saint Thomas More ultimately gave his life in obedience to God's law.
