The videos indicate that the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) priests believe there are defacto, known exceptions to the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX and the thrice defined dogma on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church with no known exceptions..
They assume that we know people saved who are still on earth and so are special exceptions to every one needing Catholic faith and the baptism of water to avoid Hell (for salvation).
For them the dead are visible (LG 16 etc) so Vatican Council II is a modernist Council which contradicts traditional teaching.
If the SSPX priests did not make the visible –dead error, there would be no exception to the dogma and the Syllabus. Vatican Council II (AG 7) supports the traditional teachings.
When you listen to the criticism of Fr. Chazal, who still supports Bishop Bernard Fellay, it makes sense, since Vatican Council II is a modernist document with the visible dead error.Without the visible dead error it is a traditionalist Council.
Similarly Fr.Girouard of the SSPX would realize that Vatican Council II is a traditional Council with SSPX values if he could not know non Catholics saved, who are ‘good and holy’ (NA), in ‘imperfect communion’ with the Church etc.
So the fault is not in the Council but in their assuming the Council says we can see the dead, like ghosts.
No text in Vatican Council II says there are explicit exceptions or that they contradict the traditional interpretation.
The Council like the Catechism of the Catholic Church acknowledges that non Catholics can be saved with a good conscience etc but does not say that these cases are exceptions.
The participants at the SSPX Chapter seem to understand. The communique (July 19, 2012) rejects any exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.-Lionel Andrades
