VATICAN COUNCIL II SAYS JUDAISM, ISLAM NOT PATHS TO SALVATION, CATHOLIC FAITH, AND BAPTISM NEEDED TO AVOID HELL.


The secret is out


VATICAN COUNCIL II SAYS JUDAISM, ISLAM NOT PATHS
TO SALVATION, CATHOLIC
 FAITH, AND BAPTISM
NEEDED TO AVOID
HELL.

Vatican Council II actually says that Judaism, Islam and the other religions are not paths to salvation. (Ad Gentes 7) Their followers need Catholic Faith and Baptism in general, to avoid Hell (Lumen Gentium 14).

The Holy Office in a Letter (1949) on Father Leonard Feeney said that Baptism was needed for all in general–with exceptions. Jews convert! (Jn: 3:5, Mk.16:15-16, CCC1257, Dominus Iesus 3, 20). It affirmed the 'dogma', the 'infallible' teaching.

Vatican Council II acknowledged the exceptions to the general rule (Lumen Gentium 16).

The ordinary means of salvation is the Catholic Church (Redemptoris Mission 55).Though Hindus and Buddhists could be saved in the extraordinary way, the exceptions to the rule. The ordinary way of salvation is not non-Catholic religions as Fr. Jacques Dupuis S.J believed. (Notification, Dupuis, CDF, Vatican 2001).

After some 50 years of false propaganda in the secular media the secret is out.

Therefore, all must be converted to Him as He is made known by the Church’s preaching. All must be incorporated into Him by baptism, and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself explicit terms affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism (cf.Mk.16:16; Jn.3:5) and thereby affirmed also the necessity of the Church, for through baptism as through a door men enter the Church. Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by God through Jesus Christ would refuse to enter her or to remain in her could not be saved. - Decree on the Missionary activity of the Church, Ad Gentes # 7, Vatican Council II (Emphasis added)
‘This sacred Synod turns its attention first to the Catholic faithful. Basing itself upon sacred Scripture and tradition, it teaches that the Church, now sojourning on earth as an exile, is necessary for salvation. For Christ, made present to us in His Body, which is the Church, is the one Mediator and the unique Way of salvation. In explicit terms He Himself affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism (cf.Mk.16:16; Jn.3:5) and thereby affirmed also the necessity of the Church, for through baptism as through a door men enter the Church. Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by God through Jesus Christ, would refuse to enter her or to remain in her could not be saved.’- Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium #1Vatican Council II.(Emphasis added)
Here is a sample of the secular propaganda.
It is from the TIME (Jan 1,1965).
"Outside the church there is no salvation" is a venerable teaching that Roman Catholic theologians are trying to forget in the ecumenical age. Perhaps the only priest who takes the maxim literally is outside the church himself: the Rev. Leonard Feeney, 67, a defrocked Jesuit who in the '30s and '40s was one of the nation's best-known Catholic theological popularizers and convert seekers. Feeney was excommunicated in 1953 for disobeying his religious superiors and refusing to accept a Holy Office decision that non-Catholics who worshiped God in good faith could be saved...
Time mixes de facto and de jure salvation here.

De facto the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the church no salvation) means everyone, without exception, needs to enter the Catholic Church for salvation. This is also the teaching of Ad Gentes 7 and Lumen Gentium 14.
De jure, in principle, a non Catholic can be saved without the Sacraments of the Church, however the person is known to God only and we cannot judge.
So the priority is everyone de facto needs to enter the Catholic Church to go to Heaven and avoid Hell, This is the teaching of the Catholic Church from the Council of Florence to Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7, Lumen Gentium 14).

This distortion in the media has become the political position of many people opposed to the Catholic Church.
