We need associations, groups to defend the Catholic ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Members of the associations could be Catholics who attend Mass in the different Rites. We could all agree, more or less, on the following five points.
The points we could agree upon are :
1. Every person has to be a member of the Catholic Church though Catholic Faith and the Baptism of water for salvation and there are no exceptions (baptism of desire etc) that we can know of.
2. Implicit Faith (invincible ignorance etc) is not the ordinary means of salvation, which is, the baptism of water and Catholic Faith. So implicit faith is rare, a probability in certain circumstances and unknown to us. Only God can judge.
3. To reject the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus or to change it, is a mortal sin. A person in this condition is not to receive the Eucharist otherwise it is a sacrilege.
4. That everyone with no exception has to enter the visible Church for salvation has been the teaching of the Catholic Church for centuries. It is still the official teaching of the Catholic Church, expressed in Magisteriam documents, including Vatican Council II.
5. Fr.Leonard Feeney was not excommunicated for heresy but for discipline.
