THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF VATICAN COUNCIL BASED ON LG 8, LG 16 AND BISHOP GERHARD MULLER'S IS THE FALSE ONE


The Holy Spirit cannot teach us that Lumen Gentium 8 and 16 are explicit exceptions to AG 7 and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

The Magisterium is also teaching error when it says that Jews do not have to convert in the present time.

Bishop Gerhard Müller, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican it is reported, has said that the SSPX need to accept Vatican Council II.

The Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) could protest that there is a big mistake in Muller, DI Noia, Koch and Ladaria's Vatican Council II and that it should be corrected before they expect the SSPX to accept it.

The SSPX’s founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre mentioned that Catholics can be saved in invincible ignorance and with implicit desire. He did not say that these cases were known to us or that they were exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

Yet this exactly what Bishop Muller and the others in the Vatican Curia assume about LG 8 and LG 16.

So they have a non traditional, irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II which is a rupture from the past.

Bishop Gerhard Muller needs to make an announcement that invincible ignorance, a good conscience (LG 16) and elements of sanctification (LG 8) are always implicit and unknown to us. Then he could expect the SSPX to accept Vatican Council II. We can only accept them in principle, de jure, as possibilities, known to God. So they do not contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus or AG 7 which says all need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water for salvation.

Muller’s Vatican Council II has a major error which runs through. It has to be corrected clearly and in public. Before he wants them to accept Vatican Council II he should resolve this problem. This problem is at the centre of the rejection of a liberal version of Vatican Council II by the SSPX. This version is without any supportive texts from the Council; no reference quotations can be provided from the Council.

Bishop Bernard Fellay has signed the doctrinal preamble accepting Vatican Council II as a continuation of Tradition. So the not-accepting-Vatican- Council-II charge does not apply to the SSPX. The SSPX values on other religions, including Judaism, are according to Vatican Council II which includes implicit LG 8 and LG 16.-Lionel Andrades
