Historic decision for the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
According to the diocese of Worcester,USA there are no known cases of persons saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire.
So there are no known exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.Neither are there exceptions to Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II.
So the communities of Fr.Leonard Feeney in Worcester who have been granted canonical status, can affirm the dogma just as Fr.Leonard Feeney.
The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, including a monastic community in Worcester, are free to proclaim the centuries old interpretation of the dogma in accord with Vatican Council II (AG 7).
Even other religious communities in the diocese are free to proclaim (AG 7) that all need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water for salvation (to avoid Hell) and there are no known exceptions of invincible ignorance and a good conscience (LG 16).
They accept the possibility of people being saved in invinciblle ignorance etc but acknowledge that in reality these cases are known only to God and are unknown to us.
So there is nothing in Vatican Council II e.g seeds of the Word etc, which contradict the dogma as understood by Fr.Leonard Feeney,Sister Catherine Goddard Clarke, Bro.Francis MICM and other founders of the Slaves of the Immmaculate Heart of Mary.
