LCWR Sisters could have asked the CDF to introduce them to those saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has explained that the purpose of the doctrinal assessment had been to “assist the LCWR in this important mission by promoting a vision of ecclesial communion founded on faith in Jesus Christ” and also on “the teachings of the Church as faithfully taught through the ages under the guidance of the Magisterium.”

The assessment had found serious theological and doctrinal errors in presentations at the Leadership of Catholic Women Religious(LCWR)’ annual assemblies in recent years, with many showing “scant regard for the role of the Magisterium.”

The rebellious American sisters who have still not been excommunicated, probably because of their leftist sources of power, and are privileged, unlike the SSPX bishops, cannot  tell Cardinal Levada, “You first affirm the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and set an example for us”.

At their last meeting on Wednesday the sisters could have asked Cardinal William Levada Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) “Why don’t you affirm the literal interpretation of the centuries old  dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, 'as was faithfully taught through the ages'

Or, why don’t you issue a Doctrinal Notification to Cardinal Kurt Koch a member of the Vatican Curia and Prefect of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity,  who on May 16 said Jews do not have to convert into the Catholic Church in the present times, contradicting the Bible and the Creed.

They cannot tell the CDF to endorse the dogma since the Sisters reject the dogma and this is a cause of their rebellion, heresy and free thinking.  

It is because the Sisters have rejected the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus that they have gone into New Age etc.

Otherwise when the Sisters were at the CDF office they could have asked the Secretary of the CDF, Cardinal Luiz Ladaria S.J: “How can you claim that there are known cases of non Catholics saved with the baptism of desire ? Who are these cases, exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma? “

“How can we know a person saved in invincible ignorance and a good conscience (LG 16) who is in Heaven? How can we telephone them or meet them on earth?”. The CDF Secretary says we can meet them. He makes this claim in two papers of the International Theological Commission (ITC).It is because  he believes that we can meet these people on earth, he assumes that they are defacto exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma.

Also he writes on the ITC website  that the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII, corrected Fr.Leonard Feeney for rejecting the baptism of desire etc. If this is true then the cardinal is saying that the Letter made an objective mistake. Since the baptism of desire etc are not exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma. They are in a sense irrelevant to the dogma and its centuries old literal interpretation.

The Sisters could have asked the CDF to introduce them to those saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire

The Sisters have been rightly criticized for reported distortions of faith in Jesus and the structure of sacramental life, as well as undermining the doctrines of “the Holy Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and the inspiration of Sacred Scripture.”.-Lionel Andrades

Could you explain more about your comment about Jews. It was dfficult to understand what you ment. Jesus was a Jew as were the disciples - so you have lost me. Perhaps you could do a full post to assist. Thankyou.

Jesus founded a Church and all those who entered it with the baptism of water could benefit from Jesus' Sacrifice and be saved from Hell.

Jesus was the Promised Jewish Messiah, the Messiah for the Jews and Gentiles.

Our Lady and the Apostles were all Jews and they they loved the Jews,and the new Church of Jesus was a continuation of the Jewish religion.

It has the Messiah, the Sacrifice in the Holy Mass, the Ark of the Covenant in the Eucharist in the tabernacle, the God of Yahwah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the New and Eternal Covenant.This is all there in the Catholic Church, the only Church Jesus founded and outside of which there is no salvation.
So when a cardinal out of fear of Talmud Jews says Jews do not have to convert it is not charity to the Jews. It is not honesty.
