The Catholic Archbishop of Dublin,Diarmuid Martin on the Second Day of the International Eucharistic Congress has indicated that the Eucharist in the Catholic Church is not needed for salvation for all people including Christian communities;Protestants.He contradicts Ecclesia di Eucarestia of Pope John Paul II.
He suggests that Anglicans and other Christian communities do not need to receive the Eucharist in the Catholic Church for salvation.
The Archbishop is also saying that Catholic Faith, which includes receiving the Eucharist, is not needed for salvation and that Christian communities can be saved in their respective religions without entering the Catholic Church.
He is denying Vatican Council II which states all need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water for salvation (AG 7). He is also denying the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus which specified that Protestants need to convert into the Catholic Church for salvation.
He has called for an evangelization based on Jesus without the Catholic Church.
The archbishop has contradicted Dominus Iesus which says salvation is available for all however to receive it all need to enter the Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church 848 says all need to enter the Church as though a door and cites Ad Gentes 7 (Catholic Faith and the baptism of water-not just the baptism of water ).CCC 845 says God the Father wants all people to be united in the Catholic Church.
According to Vatican Council II, the dogma on salvation, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and other magisterial documents the Anglican Archbishop of Dublin who addressed the conference is oriented to Hell unless he converts into the Catholic Church.
The Theology Section of the Conference features an Ecclesiology of Communion. It is assumed that the Church no more teaches exclusive ecclesiocentrism since those saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desie are explicit exceptions to the dogma.- and of course in Ireland they know these explicit cases in real life for them to be exceptions to the dogma.
Traditionalists in Ireland and elsewhere do not object to this ecclesiology since they too are (seemingly ?!) familiar with visible cases of the baptism of desire and they know people on earth, may be in Dublin, saved in invincible ignorance on earth and in Heaven.
A leader of the Catholic Focolare Movement gave her testimony on this ecclesiology and why Christian communities do not have to convert into the Catholic Church as long as they are baptised! (http://www.iec2012.ie/it/cat_news.jsp?i=1629&p=1001&n=1016 )

Congress Explores Communion Through Baptism
Dublin Welcomes Pilgrims for Second Day of International Event
By Ann Schneible
DUBLIN, Ireland, JUNE 11, 2012 (Zenit.org).- The 50th International Eucharistic Congress (IEC) explored the themes of baptism and ecumenism today, with addresses delivered by both Catholic and Anglican archbishops.
The IEC, under way through Sunday, explored today the theme: "Exploring and Celebrating Our Communion through Baptism." Two of the main speakers of the day were Catholic Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin and his Anglican counterpart, Archbishop Michael Jackson, who addressed the theme of baptism specifically within the context of working together ecumenically toward peace and renewal in the Church.
Archbishop Jackson explained at a press conference today that "one of the themes that comes through very strongly is that theme of pilgrimage. I think the number of people who come from many parts of the world and many parts of Ireland, both as participants and as volunteers, this is something which I think brings us to a new place, and holds us there in good faith."
"The opportunity has been opened up through this conference," he continued, "for the involvement and the participation and the contribution of people of traditions beyond the Roman Catholic Church. I think there is something which is of great enrichment to us who have been invited to be part of that."
Catholic Archbishop Diarmuid Martin expanded upon the statements made by Archbishop Jackson, speaking about the importance for uniting in common purpose. "The Church of Ireland and the Roman Catholic Church," the archbishop explained, "and the other main Christian churches in Ireland, are facing many of the same challenges in what we call 'evangelizing,' in bringing the message of Jesus Christ to young people. We are all aware of the fact that we need to find new structures, new methods for that evangelization."
"I think there is a real temptation by people," Archbishop Martin continued, "faced with the rapidity of change, with all of the refuges that people take, to simply say that there is nothing I can do, and let the thing take over. We are in a situation today where we will not rebuild [or] renew the Church by simply letting it take over."-Zenit News.
