THE SSPX HAS SAID IT ACCEPTS VATICAN COUNCIL II AS AN HISTORICAL EVENT THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR CANONICAL STATUS

The interpretation of Vatican Council II by many communities is based on an irrational premise of being able to see the dead.The SSPX cannot be expected to accept it.

When the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) says it rejects Vatican Council II they mean they reject the Council with the irrational premise.It's the use of the false premise which makes the Council modernist.

When the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) corrects the false premise there could be Catholic communities who could then reject Vatican Council II.They now accept it. So accepting one of two interpretations of Vatican Council II should not be made a criteria for granting the SSPX canonical status.

When the CDF announces that 'we cannot see the dead who are saved', Vatican Council II will be in agreement with the SSPX position on other religions.The Council would affirm the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.The CDF would then have changed the interpretation of the Council, an intepretation which it now wants the SSPX to accept.

The CDF must realize that the fault is not with the SSPX but with the premise used- a rational or an irrational one.

The media which criticizes the SSPX assumes we can see the dead and so Vatican Council II is a break from traditional teaching on other religions.The CDF has still to issue a correction regarding the Reuters and Washington Post reports in September 2012.

Eventually it will be clear that the premise creates the interpretation of Vatican Council II.So the CDF could allow the SSPX to enter the Church with full canonical status based on their accepting Vatican Council II as a historical event.-Lionel Andrades
