Tomáš Halík and Mr Hríb make regularly a Pod lampou promotional podcast, in which Halík influences Slovakia with his heresies and heretical spirit. Slovak students flock to hear Halík’s sermons in Prague and to consult him. He mystifies them with a new view of a plurality of images of God. He makes a mockery of the last remnants of true, traditional faith and makes them active propagators of his pseudo-spirituality.
Already in 2016, we provided a critical analysis of his manipulations and heresies, and now only briefly about the November Pod lampou podcast.
Quote by Halík: “This is a mutilation of the Bible when we have the idea of extracting one correct picture of God from the Bible. … To create our own ideology means to completely mutilate the Bible.”
Commentary: Halík derogatorily calls the one correct image of God, which the Lord Jesus Christ Himself reveals to us in the Bible, a mutilation of the Bible and a kind of ideology. Why? Because Halík’s view of God is connected with Buddhist so-called enlightenment, which he himself said he had experienced twice. He cannot bear the one correct image of God and creates the impression as if there could not even be one correct, but as if there must be many so-called correct ones. But then it follows that there are also many gods, actually demons, that are worshipped by pagans and regarded as gods. This is what Halík is hinting at.
Halík is a fanatical promoter of paganism, especially Buddhism. He meditated with the Dalai Lama in the crypt, sharing unity with him, although the Dalai Lama is considered a reincarnated god. Halík claims that he is both a Catholic and a Buddhist, that he is both this and that. With this confession, he proves that he cannot even have a correct image of God. His cunning lies in the fact that his comments – such as mutilating the Bible or creating one’s own ideology – ridicule those who have preserved the true image of God, as given by the Scriptures and the Tradition of the Apostles, Church Fathers and the entire Church of Christ. Students who still have true faith abandon it because they feel embarrassed by Halík.
Quote by Halík: “As for hell, I don’t know; there’s a lot about those eschatological things about which St Paul says: you’ll know there, when standing face to face. So let’s hope we won’t find out in hell, but see what those words meant. Today, theologians are inclined to believe that this means the experience of God’s absence, but God is in a way present in the absence.”
Commentary: If Halík considers himself a Catholic theologian, he cannot say on the question of hell: “I don’t know.” Hell is a truth of faith. As for the Apostle Paul whom he quotes, he deliberately chose his words about heaven and not about hell. In doing so, he ridiculed and belittled everything. Instead of quoting what Jesus says about hell and effectively warning against it, he begins to philosophize about God’s presence in absence. He refers to the false interpretation of heretical theologians. Halík rejects the correct interpretation of the Holy Scriptures, which is guaranteed by the Church’s Tradition.
Quote by Halík: “You know, this is also one of the consequences of the too masculine image of God; we’ve projected a real lot of things into that God, and we’ve projected more of the male God thereinto. After all, it is said that God created man in His image as male and female, that is, in God there must be both the male and the female side. This is particularly topical today.”
Commentary: God is not a human being. So He cannot have a male or a female side. God is pure spirit. Man is His image because God gave him a spiritual essence. The second divine person, Jesus Christ, took on our human nature, yet without sin. The Son of God did not become a woman, but assumed human nature from a woman, the Most Holy Theotokos (cf. Gal 4:4). He became a man, a man of sorrows, our Saviour.
The present time is marked by violent feminist propaganda, and even legalization of gender ideology in the Church through the influence of pseudo Pope Francis. Halík is a propagator of this self-destructive path by obscuring the true nature of God and creating the impression that God has a kind of feminine side or, in other words, that He is a kind of transgender. This is gross blasphemy, but due to the current pseudo culture and the privileging of heresies in the Church, it is taken seriously and causes a total disruption of true Christianity, which has ensured salvation throughout history.
Quote by Halík: “When Jesus spoke of God in this way, rejecting the idea of God as a judge and speaking of a merciful God, they were all outraged and went to John: Look, he behaves like civilians; he eats meat, drinks wine, talks to prostitutes, goes to the Pohoda Festival, and what’s that?”
Commentary: One of the regular attendees of the Festival was the suspended Archbishop Bezák, who is a supporter of sodomy, and he and Halík are great friends. The Lord Jesus cannot be compared to Bezák.
Jesus Christ did not reject the idea of God the judge, as Halík falsely claims. Jesus speaks of a merciful God in connection with the prodigal son who repents and returns to his father. Jesus emphasized repentance, and with it comes mercy and forgiveness.
But Jesus also speaks of the sin against the Holy Spirit, namely obstinacy in sin that will not be forgiven either in this age or in the age to come. As far as the mention of John the Baptist is concerned, these are different events that Halík is now connecting in a manipulative manner. Jesus says of the repentant tax collectors and harlots that they enter the kingdom of God before the Pharisees because they repent and turn from their evil ways. On the other hand, Halík, along with the Pharisees, rejects saving repentance.
Quote by Halík: “Richard Rohr, but also some interpreters of Byzantine icons – I also write about it in several books – depict the Trinity as a dance. There are three persons holding hands and dancing. God is a constant dance, and He draws us into the dance. By the way, as we talked about that hell, one Byzantine icon shows the resurrection as Jesus dancing and leading out by the hand all the people who were in that hell.”
Commentary: Halík again commits a series of manipulations and frauds. On the one hand, he belittles our Saviour by saying that dancing He leads out by the hand – in Halík’s view – all those who were in hell. In fact, Halík denies the eternity of hell and distorts the truth about Jesus leading the Old Testament righteous not out of hell but out of Sheol (or Hades), i.e. the place where the righteous were waiting for the Saviour so that they could enter God’s glory. They were definitely not all the people who were in hell, as Halík says, including unrepentant criminals and perverts. Jesus did not lead out such people.
Halík uses very subtle manipulation, and at the same time indirectly gives the impression that just as Jesus supposedly brought all the people, as it were, out of hell on the day of His resurrection, so He will one day bring other unrepentant sinners out of hell as well. And that is a delusion and a gross lie. It is also a great blasphemy to compare the mystery of the Holy Trinity to three dancers. If Halík refers to the Byzantine icon, he attributes to it a perverse interpretation, i.e. one that contradicts the teachings of the Church.
Quote by Halík: “So yes, definitely, the essence of faith and Christianity is metanoia, transformation, and it concerns not only the transformation of our behaviour, but also the transformation of our thinking: ‘Be renewed in the spirit of your minds,’ says St Paul. So believing is not just about some kind of moral improvement, but rather about a change of mind, a change of perspective from which we view things.”
Commentary: In fact, biblical metanoia, as Jesus says, “Repent and believe in the Gospel,” means a change from evil to good, from falsehood to truth, from sin to God. Why does Halík talk about metanoia, that is, as he specifies, about change? Francis Bergoglio is introducing radical changes that lead to the self-destruction of the Church. Halík characterises them as metanoia in a mean way. But what Bergoglio does and what Halík promotes is anti-metanoia, that is, turning away from the true God to false gods – demons.
Quote by Halík: “That picture you painted before – the ruler who comes and just punishes – that’s what these people like so much, and it’s been used by many preachers. Now in the time of Covid, they have abused this image terribly. That is, they know exactly who is to be punished, for what they are to be punished, and the Lord God is the extended hand of their vindictiveness. Well, this is a pathological image, and thank God that Freud said that this is just a projection. Even that Marxism, which was tragically wrong in many ways … but Marx’s view of that religion – a certain type of religion … it’s really the opium, it’s really the drug…”
Commentary: Halík completely rejects the truth of the faith that God rewards the good and punishes the wicked. He mocks this truth as if it were invented by people and calls it the extended hand of their vindictiveness. He deliberately deceives believers into losing their saving fear. The truth about punishment for evil and sin is objective and just and, moreover, motivates repentance.
If God punishes here on earth, it is a manifestation of love, because He disciplines us and turns us away from eternal punishment. By denying God’s punishment, Halík, in fact, leads to the denial of sin, especially the sin of sodomy.
As for Covid and the experimental gene serum called vaccine, statistics show that it hastened the death of many and had irreversible consequences for others. Halík, however, thundered nonstop as a Covid preacher against those who resisted the Covid terror.
Halík is trying to change the thinking of Slovak Catholics and disparagingly characterises the true Catholic faith as a type of religion that, as he says, is the opium and the drug. He sets before us Freud and Marx as examples. Freud is publicly known to have been an amoral pervert who reduced everything to his perverted sexuality. Freud rejected true belief in God and falsely associated it with his perverse sexual projection. It is a colossal fraud, an insult to the true faith and blasphemy. As for Marx, he also opposed God and is known to have been a satanist. In the same spirit, in 2018, Halík promoted the satanic dishonour of our Saviour in the Brno theatre.
Quote by Halík: “And then (the Church) lost a large part of young people and now it is losing a large part of women, because at this time a new understanding of the dignity of woman is being awakened, and if the Church is not receptive to this, it will lose one of the last supports of society, and that was women.”
Commentary: This statement is a lie, manipulation and threat. Halík follows Bergoglio’s line of the legalization of LGBTQ perversion, as if sodomy is no longer a sin bringing down God’s punishment. In addition, he supports the ordination of women priests and wants the faithful to accept it. This decadent feminism transplanted into the Church contradicts Scripture and Tradition and leads to the Church’s degradation.
Quote by Halík: “The central idea of Pope Francis that the Church should be transformed from a bureaucratic organization into journeying together – that is the synhodos, or walking together – so there is a dynamic element – we have to go a little further, and not get stuck in some form – and I think that the most radical way to get rid of that rigid conservatism is to properly study the history of the Church, because there’ve been so many great changes there.”
Commentary: Halík wants to change the thinking of Catholics at all costs so that they accept the destructive changes promoted by the synodal journey as something positive. The First Commandment is de facto abolished by the legalization of idolatry. The invalid Pope had himself publicly consecrated to demons by a shaman in Canada, enthroned the Pachamama demon in St Peter’s Basilica, and subsequently legalizes LGBTQ perversions that deny God’s commandments and God’s laws.
This is neither Catholicism nor Christianity anymore. It is a transition to the New Age anti-Church or, in other words, it is journeying together – synhodos – with demon worshippers, shamans and satanists to destruction. Halík has already written off saving faith as rigid conservatism. The history of the Church, which Halík refers to, condemns the path of heresy and heretics, which he so persistently promotes.
Quote by Halík: “…the changes that have been talked about for a long time are about celibacy, the ordination of women… Well, it must not be taboo, but even if these things change, I think that will not be the heart of the matter, and we have to get to the heart of the matter. We are facing the reformation… Martin Luther noticed, yes, this is not just a peripheral matter, it concerns fundamental things in the Church, and he understood at the time that what troubles people is the fear that they will not be saved…”
Commentary: The reform carried out by Bergoglio and promoted by Halík is not really a reform, but a purposeful destruction of the essence of the Church, i.e. of the truths of the Gospel of Christ. Halík openly said that this is not just about the abolition of celibacy or the introduction of the ordination of women, but that we must go to the heart of the matter. What is the heart of the matter? He emphasizes that Martin Luther understood that what troubles people is the fear that they will not be saved. Halík knows that it is therefore necessary to remove this fear from them and to fool them into believing that the salvation of the soul no longer lies in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ but in the new so-called synodal journey, which promotes LGBTQ perversion and idolatry. Such a synodal journey ends in hell.
Halík deliberately speaks mystically about an inner relationship with God, but since he is also a Buddhist, he has another god. He enters into inner unity with him in oriental meditation. Buddhism worships the proud ego and rejects the true God. It does not distinguish between good and evil, truth and lies. Eternal heaven and hell are replaced with lies about reincarnation and nirvana.
Buddhism considers woman to be the ugliest of creatures. It is said that she cannot achieve perfection unless and until she is transformed into a man. Here is the root of demonic transgenderism. Under the guise of the so-called new dignity, Halík promotes decadent feminism and transgenderism, which totally degrades woman.
Halík promotes a false path – synhodos. He wants to journey together with demon and Satan worshippers into the New Age global anti-Church! This path is a path of betrayal of Christ and ends in eternal damnation.
Will the priest Halík and pseudo Pope Francis be eternally condemned in hell?
Both Tomáš Halík and pseudo Pope Francis can be saved, but there is a small probability of this happening. The fact is they have already both rejected Christ’s narrow path of salvation (Mt 7:14) and are promoting the broad, so-called synodal path, which leads to eternal destruction. Would that they repented and called a lie a lie, a heresy a heresy, and immorality immorality!
The fact that God respects the freedom of either of them – this freedom of theirs not only causing harm to the Church but on the other hand also purifying her – is a mystery.
