We know there still is a problem. The SSPX like the Vatican assumes that there are exceptions of the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance

There still is a problem. The SSPX bishops and many priests like their liberal counterparts and the Vatican Curia still assume that the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance are exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

This is what I wanted to say to Bro. Anthony TOSF in a comment on the website Witness for Church and Pope .

The SSPX must realize that we do not know any case on earth of a non Catholic saved in invincible ignorance etc. Bro. Anthony realizes this.

So if there is any cardinal or bishop who makes this claim he is wrong.If the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 assumed that the baptism of desire etc are defacto, explicit exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus then the Letter was wrong. I say IF, since the Letter mentioned ‘the dogma’ and the text of the dogma indicates all need to convert into the Church and there are no known exceptions.

If Pope Benedict XVI in Light of the World (p.105) assumes that the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance are exceptions then he is also wrong. This is an objective, factual error.

When the SSPX admits this problem in public it will mean that there is a now a new interpretation of Vatican Council II. Otherwise there is only heresy.Since the Nicene Creed says ‘I believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sin’ and the SSPX and the Vatican Curia says there is not one baptism but three.The dogma says every one needs to enter the Church the SSPX says yes, except for those in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire.

We still have a problem.
