THE SSPX HAS ACCEPTED VATICAN COUNCIL II AND THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN ACCORD WITH THE DOGMA EXTRA ECCLESIAMNULLA SALUS- BISHOP MULLER IS REFUSING TO DO THE SAME

Vatican Council II says outside the Church there is no salvation (AG 7). For the Vatican Curia, cardinals and bishops, Vatican Council II has rejected the dogma.For the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) AG 7 could be supporting the dogma and LG 16 and LG 8 are not known exceptions. There is ‘no possible salvation outside the Church’.For the Vatican Curia LG 16 and LG 8 are ‘known exceptions’ to the AG 7 and the dogma on salvation.

The SSPX position on Vatican Council II is rational. They do not claim to know the dead-saved who are known exceptions.The Vatican Curia’s position on Vatican Council II is irrational. They claim to know the dead who are supposed to be exceptions to the dogma.

The SSPX position is traditional. The Vatican Curia is non traditional they claim non Catholics can be saved in the present times and act as if there are such cases in 2012 which are known to them.

The SSPX has accepted Vatican Council II with the hermeneutic of continuity, they are in accord with Tradition (the dogma). For Bishop Gerhard Muller it is a rupture with tradition, they deny the  dogma outside the church no salvation.

The SSPX could announce that they have accepted the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and that this an indirect acceptance of Vatican Council II. They should ask Bishops Muller and Di Noia to do the same in public.

Archbishop Di Noia has denied the dogma in the National Catholic Register interview when he was asked about extra ecclesiam nulla salus. So his interpretation of Vatican Council II will also change when he denies the dogma. He assumes that there are non Catholics saved with grace (LG 8 etc) and these cases are exceptions and of course known to us, for them to be exceptions.

The SSPX has to explain to Archbishop Di Noia, Vice President of Ecclesia Dei and to Bishop Gerhard Muller, President of Ecclesia Dei that there is ‘no possibility’ of salvation outside the Church. Since those who are dead and saved are unknown to us.So they cannot be exceptions to the dogma and the traditional interpretation and acceptance of Vatican Council II

Since the dogma is in agreement with Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church the SSPX are also in agreement with these Church documents. The Vatican Curia is not in agreement with the dogma because of alleged exceptions so their interpretation of Vatican Council II and the Catechism has to be different.
