Catholic priests do not want to affirm the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus in public.

Fr. Leonard Feeney is irrelevant to the literal interpretation of the dogma since the baptism of desire is not an exception to the dogma.

So whatever was his alleged view it does not contradict the traditional interpretation of outside the church no salvation.

No priest wants to be made a target of the Jewish Left.

If Fr. Leonard Feeney rejected the baptism of desire it is irrelevant to the dogma since the baptism of desire is always implicit, it is never explicit for us. So it does not contradict the dogma as is claimed by the leftist media. Catholic priests go along with this false propaganda and so does the pope and his Curia.

Fr.Leonard Feeney was not excommunicated for heresy or on doctrine as the media reports it. If he was then the Holy Office (CDF) would have made a mistake. Since there are no know exceptions to the dogma. There are no exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

I am thinking of Catholic religious who give others advice on abortion etc, write books and articles for others but are afraid to affirm the defined dogma in public. Some due to the confusion created on this issue. However there are priests who know that the baptism of desire is always implicit. Those who are dead and saved are explicit only for God. Yet they will not endorse extra ecclesiam nulla salus in public.

For instance Mons. Ignazio Barreiro of the Human Life International (HLI) in Rome knows that we do not know any case of the baptism of desire but he will not endorse extra ecclesiam nulla salus in public. He offers the Traditional Latin Mass. He will not say that the Church teaches the literal interpretation of the dogma. Privately he may believe in the dogma. He writes articles on abortion and does radio shows on euthanasia….

Then there is Fr. John George a retired priest in the Archdiocese of Sydney. On his Internet discussion forum, True Catholic he will not admit that the baptism of desire is always implicit and these cases are not known to us. Neither will he name any case saved with the baptism of desire that he knows personally. Yet he will not affirm the literal interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus. He has advice on abortion etc and is often correcting a lay Catholic editor of an Australian website.-Lionel Andrades
