MHFM SLIPS ON BOD DEFINITION AND CRITICIZES SSPX

The Most Holy Family Monastery(MHFM) advises a young man to avoid the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) since they allege that the SSPX like the Catholic Church rejects the dogma Cantate Domino, Council of Florence on extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

The young man must realize that it is the MHFM which is making an error with the baptism of desire (BOD). In its nature BOD is always unknown defacto to us, it can never be known in reality to us humans, it must be always accepted in principle ( dejure) only. It is unlike the baptism of water which is de facto and repeatable, real and visible.

So if BOD is not defacto known to it does not contradict the dogma as the sedevacantists MHFM state on  their website critical of the SSPX.

SSPX

Hello, I am a 22 year old who recently started going to the TLM mass at the SSPX. I have stumbled across your videos and would like to ask you a few questions…

2.) What are your main problems with the SSPX?...

Thank you

Brian

MHFM:… 2. The SSPX believes in salvation outside the Church… The members of the SSPX also demonstrate a schismatic mentality by regarding Benedict XVI and his “hierarchy” as valid, but obstinately operating independently of them. All of that is explained in this file: The Society of St. Pius X [Link to Section]. Here are two quick examples of blatant heresy:

Fr. Schmidberger, Time Bombs of the Second Vatican Council, Angelus Press [SSPX], p. 10: “Ladies and gentlemen, it is clear that the followers of other religions can be saved under certain conditions, that is to say, if they are in invincible error.”

Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, Against the Heresies, Angelus Press [SSPX], p. 216: “Evidently, certain distinctions must be made. Souls can be saved in a religion other than the Catholic religion (Protestantism, Islam, Buddhism, etc.), but not by this religion.”-- E-Exchanges on the Catholic Church and other issues, Most Holy Family Monastery
Note :  the followers of other religions ‘in certain circumstances’ (Letter of the Holy Office 1949) and known only to God can be saved with the baptism of desire or in invincible ignorance. This is a probability, we accept this in principle. We do not know any such case on earth. So it does not contradict the dogma Cantate Domino or Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II.

When Archbishop Lefebvre said ‘Souls can be saved in a religion other than the Catholic religion (Protestantism, Islam, Buddhism, etc.) he was referring to a probability known to God and which in its very nature is always de jure and never de facto known to us. So Archbishop Lefebvre was not denying or contradicting the dogma Cantate Domino, Council of Florence on extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

The MHFM,Peter and Michael Dimond,  make this common error since they assume that BOD is as visible and real as the baptism of water and so it contradicts the dogma outside the church there is no salvation.

Since they consider BOD as real and known to us, they reject BOD. This is a rejection of a teaching of the Council of Trent and is heresy.
