SSPX COMMUNIQUE IMPORTANT FOR THE ARCHDIOCESE OF BOSTON AND THE FR.LEONARD FEENEY CASE

The Society of St.Pius X  communiqué is important for the Archdiocese of Boston which seems to be in a cover up of the Fr.Leonard Feeney case. The SSPX affirms the ‘rigorist interpretation’ of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus . It was Fr.Leonard Feeney who also affirmed the literal interpretation of the dogma on salvation and said there were no known exceptions. There were no explicit exceptions.

The SSPX realizes that the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance are always unknown to us and so they cannot be an exception to the traditional interpretation of the dogma. This is the same position as the priest from Boston.

It was the Archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Richard Cushing who came out with a theory of the explicitly known baptism of desire etc which were supposed to be exceptions to the dogma on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church.

Presently there are two questions being asked of the Archdiocese of Boston and no one is answering them.

They perhaps know that if they answer those two questions it would result in the truth being known about the Fr.Leonard Feeney case. He was wrongly deprived of his priestly faculties for affirming the traditional teaching on the dogma and then he was excommunicated.

He and other Catholic professors were dismissed from Boston College because of their traditional Catholic views on outside the church no salvation.

Even until today the secular media refers to the baptism of desire being an exception and they claim  Fr. Leonard Feeney is in heresy..

The SSPX  communiqué has reaffirmed  faith in the Catholic Church and the dogma and also clarified that there is no ‘… possibility to find the means leading to salvation’ outside the Church.

They are saying like Vatican Council II that all non Catholics need to enter the Church with Catholics Faith and the baptism of water for salvation and there are no known exceptions; Lumen Gentium 16 and Lumen Gentium 8 are not explicit exceptions to the dogma and neither are they exceptions to Ad Gentes 7.-Lionel Andrades
