BISHOP KEVIN RHOADES CHAIRMAN OF OUR SUNDAY VISITOR

Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades former bishop of Harrisburg,Pennsylvania who denies Church teaching on extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the need for Jews to convert according to the Bible and Magisterial texts, is the Chairman of the Board of Our Sunday Visitor. The liberal bishop also heads the diocese of Notre Dame University where the former bishop refused to support abortion and President Obama’s visit there.

Within the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), Rhoades is a member of the Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs . He refused to affirm the Catholic Faith in basic questions put to him.

It is expected that Our Sunday Visitor will produce similar dissent as The Catholic Reporter, USA and t The Tablet, England.

Bishop Rhoades and Robert Sungenis:
In 2008, Sungenis' bishop, Kevin C. Rhoades, denounced his views of the Jewish people and Judaism as "hostile, uncharitable, and un-Christian" and required Sungenis to stop writing about them. He also directed him to stop using the word "Catholic" in his organization's name.[3] Sungenis has stated that he will only comply with Bishop Rhoades' directive to stop writing about Jews and Judaism if he is forced to do so "under the aegis of a canonical trial".[11]

In 2008, Sungenis took credit for the fact that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to remove a sentence from the next printing of the U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults that involves the Jewish people and the Mosaic covenant ("Thus the covenant that God made with the Jewish people through Moses remains eternally valid for them",[12] see also dual-covenant theology). The bishops proposed to replace it with a sentence from the universal Catechism of the Catholic Church.[3][13] Sungenis expressed concerns about the original sentence at his website and said he wrote to the Vatican about it.[14] The executive director of evangelization and catechesis for the USCCB's committee on the catechism denied that the change occurred because of Sungenis' intervention.[3]-Wikipedia
Alongwith Catholics United for the Faith (CUF), Steubenville,USA a campaign was begun on a website critical of Robert Sungenis who accused Bishop Kevin Rhoades and CUF of being in heresy.

The CUF still has a report on its website on outside the church no salvation written by Phillip Gray and which supports the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) and Bishop Kevin Rhoades heresy on this issue.

The USCCB in the Fr.Peter Phan case issued a Notification which stated that every needs to enter the Church except for those in invincible ignorance etc. The USCCB assumes that those saved with invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire are known to us in the present times. This contradicts the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus which states every one on earth needs to be a de facto member of the Catholic Church.
