When you talk to an average Catholic here and see what is being taught in the Pontifical seminaries and universities in Rome on extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) it is clear that there is a major mix up and plenty of avoidable confusion. This can all be cleared by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in three simple statements.
If there are two interpretations of EENS in circulation can there also be two interpretations of the Catechism and Vatican Council II?
The last motu proprio issued by the Holy Father on Evangelisation recently, called to follow the Catechism.
Yes of course! But which interpretation some Catholics could ask.
The Catechism and Vatican Council II are magisterial documents and so are in accord with traditional magisterial teaching. The Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI has said that Vatican Council II is not a break from Tradition.
So one can interpret the Catechism keeping the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus before you and being in accord with Tradition. Or we can interpret the Catechism as we like, going off on a tangent often and not even knowing it.
Many of the liberal interpretations of the Catechism present us with statements which are not part of the Catholic Deposit of Faith.
It is promoted by the secular media and so Catholics believe it is the new teachings of the Church.
