International Theological Commission (ITC)
position paper on Christianity and the World Religions contradicts
the Notification on Fr.Jacques Dupuis issued during the pontificate
of Pope John Paul II.
Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith(CDF) in a theological muddle.
Pope Benedict XVI has said that for ' more than twenty years,
Bishop Raffaelo Martinelli, ' was a very loyal and capable collaborator of mine
in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Working primarily
in the field of catechesis and catechism with great silence and
discretion he contributed to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and
the Compendium of the Catechism. His voice is also very present in
this great symphony of faith.'
Bishop Rafaello Martineli in one of his pamphlets cites the
Notification of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which states all are oriented to the Catholic Church . This is now in
direct contradiction to the Cardinal-Secretary of the CDF.On the Vatican ITC website the
former President of the ITC, Cardinal Ladaria S.J says there is salvation outside the
church.So he would conclude that all non Catholics are not
necessarily oriented into the Church. Implying there could be non
Catholics one could meet on the street or telephone at home who are
dead and saved in invincible ignorance or implicit desire. Sounds
odd?! For the cardinal these cases are exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and to the Notification issued during the pontificate of Pope John Paul when Bishop Martinelli worked at the CDF as a bureau chief.
Cardinal Ladaria suggests that because of these 'known
ghosts on earth', the Church now teaches that there is salvation
outside the church unlike in the past. These ghosts are
explicit exceptions to the traditional interpretation of the dogma
extra ecclesiam nulla salus according to Fr.Leonard Feeney in recent
times and his fellow Jesuit St.Robert Bellarmine of times past. Do we really know explicit exceptions who contradict the Notification?
So the CDF Secretary not only opposes Bishop Martinelli but expects
the Society of St.Pius X to say that they can see these ghosts who
are exceptions to the dogma on exclusive salvation and the Syllabus
of Errors. This would mean that all Jews in the present times do not have to convert
into the Catholic Church for salvation,there could be known exeptions. He mentions these exceptions in two ITC position papers approved by Pope Benedict XVI.
This is not only a break from Pope John Paul II but a complete break from Tradition with a new doctrine of the visible dead in the present times.
So the Vatican cardinals would conclude that there is a new interpretation of Vatican Council II which is a break from the past and which is also based on the theory of the dead visible on earth.It has changed Catholic traditional teaching on other religions, ecumenism and religious liberty.
We need ghost busters who will say that this is not true.
We need ghost busters who will say that this is not true.
The SSPX has to accept this new theory of the dead visible on earth saved in invincible ignorance etc and so Lumen Gentium 16 etc is a rupture with the past. The SSPX's canonical status in future, depends on how fast they can except this heresy; this rejection of a defined dogma and making Vatican Council II contradict itself i.e AG 7 against LG 16.
