According to the Boston Pilot Catholic News.com
ARLINGTON, Va. (CNS) -- In a move that will go into effect Sept. 16, Arlington Bishop Paul S. Loverde has directed that a "profession of faith" declaring assent to all church teachings be made by all teachers of the faith, including catechists, youth ministers and religion teachers in the diocese.http://thebostonpilot.com/article.asp?ID=14891
The Boston Pilot will not mention the issue related to the profession of faith in the Archdiocese.
1) Do we personally know the dead saved in invincible ignorance, a good conscience (LG 16) etc ? (No)
2) Since we do not know any of these cases, there are no known exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus ?(Yes)
If the Letter of the Holy Office made a mistake to assume that those saved with implicit desire etc are explicit exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus then an injustice was done to Fr.Leonard Feeney in Boston.
When we accept the literal interpretation of the dogma on salvation it means we are saying :
I believe in the one Holy Catholic Church in which all with no exceptions need to be a member for salvation (to avoid Hell).
I believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sin which means only the baptism of water is the visible baptism which is needed for all people for salvation. There are not three visible known, repeatable baptisms.
I believe in the Holy Spirit which guides the Church before and after Vatican Council II to teach that all need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water for salvation.(AG 7)-Lionel Andrades
