MEDIA DISINFORMATION ON CATHOLIC TEACHINGS THE SSPX AND VATICAN COUNCIL II

Padre Giovanni is the responsible Jesuit priest at the Jesuit Astali Refugee Centre in Rome. They have a battery of lawyers who assist refugees, including those who have been rejected for political asylum.

At times it seems the Jesuit legal system is there for only leftist social injustice issues.

See the leftist media propaganda against the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) and Vatican Council II in particular and Catholic teachings in general.

Could not some of those lawyers advocate honesty in newspaper reporting about Catholics?

There are so many claims of anti Semitism. What about anti Catholicism by institutions and media of the Jewish Left, like the ADL.

The ADL and the mainstream media in Italy repeat that the SSPX teaches that Jews need to convert for salvation and this is contrary to the ‘reforms’ of Vatican Council II. Then they repeat that the Catholic Church teaches that Jews are still the Chosen People of God.

They will never mention that Vatican Council II indicates that Jews need to convert into the Catholic Church to avoid Hell (for salvation) and Catholics are the ‘new people of God’.(AG 7,NA 4).

Couldn’t the Jesuit lawyers point this out to the media?

This is disinformation about Catholic teachings and it is ‘hate’ specifically against the SSPX.

The SSPX is affirming Traditional Catholic teaching and Vatican Council II when it says Jews need to convert for salvation.

Then the secular liberal media says that now the Church teaches that there is salvation outside the Church since a non Catholic can be saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire (LG 16).

Commonsense tells us that we do not know any case of a non Catholic saved in invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire. So how can it be an explicit exception to AG 7 which says all need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water for salvation?

How can it be an exception to the defined dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Cantate Domino)?

These are the falsehoods being repeated by the print media and television in Italy and it is not being checked legally.

The Vatican cannot be expected to make the clarification since they are under political pressure from Rabbi Rosen, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and the ADL and their supporters. So they have to keep silent.

Could a legal aide of the Astali Centre or another Catholic organization check the misinformation in the media point by point?

If the misinformation about the Catholic Faith is the political opinion of the Jewish Left it should be said so and it should not be claimed that this is the teaching of Vatican Council II.
