BISHOP OF FRASCATI, ITALY SUPPORTS SSPX ON OTHER RELIGIONS


Pope John Paul's Notification on the Jesuit priest Jacques Dupuis is in accord with the SSPX position on other religions including Judaism.

The Italian diocesan Bishop Mons Raffaelo Martinelli who has worked closely with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican agrees with the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) position on other religions.

Basically what they are all saying is that non Catholics religions are not paths to salvation and their members are objectively oriented into the Catholic Church.

Pope John Paul II was in agreement with the SSPX position on other religions.Inter religious dialogue for him was part of Catholic Mission.

Bishop Martinelli who was recently the main speaker at a conference organised by the apologetical magazine Il Timone, agrees with the SSPX on the Catholic Church’s understanding of other religions when he quotes from Pope John Paul's Notification to Fr. Jacques Dupuis. Like Vatican Council II (AG 7) the message is all need Catholic Faith with the baptism of water.

Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican Notification is in agreement with the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) position on other religions which are not paths to salvation and whose members are oriented to the Catholic Church

Mons. Raffaello Martinelli. the Bishop of Frascati,Italy in an apologetical pamphlet has said that non Catholic religions have deficiencies, errors and superstition (Dominus Iesus) and that non Catholics are objectively oriented towards the Catholic Church (CDF ,Notification on Fr.Jacques Dupuis S.J 2011).

The CDF,Notification says

7. According to Catholic doctrine, the followers of other religions are oriented to the Church and are all called to become part of her.

According to Pope John Paul II
IV. On the orientation of all human beings to the Church
6. It must be firmly believed that the Church is sign and instrument of salvation for all people. It is contrary to the Catholic faith to consider the different religions of the world as ways of salvation complementary to the Church.

The Bishop of Frascati says 'even those who do not actually belong to the visible Church, they are objectively oriented towards her' then he adds that they are part of that wider Church known only by God. '-CDF Notification on Fr.Jacques Dupuis S.J.(2)
The Notification on the Jesuit priest  was in agreement with Dominus Iesus 20 which indicated that even though Jesus died for all for salvation it was necessary that all enter the Church. The Church was necessary for salvation. This is the message of Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II that all need faith and baptism.

The Notification is in agreement with the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) position on other religions which are not paths to salvation and whose members are oriented to the Catholic Church.

The Notification is also in harmony with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the Syllabus of Errors.

It is accord with the Bellarmine interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus  since invincible ignorance and a good conscience (LG 16 ) are not exceptions to the dogma. We do not know any such case in the present times. Mons.Raffaelo's leaflet mentions LG 16.

The baptism of desire is not an exception to the dogma. So contrary to the leftist media propaganda, whether Fr.Leonard Feeney supported or opposed to the baptism of desire, it is irrelevant to the literal interpretation of the dogma on exclusive salvation being there in only the Catholic Church. Similarly those who have not had the Gospel preached to them through no fault of their own (invincible ignorance) are irrelevant to the literal interpretation of the dogma.

The influence of the Richard Cushing error however can be seen in the Notification.Though  basically the Notification  is saying that non Catholic religions are not paths to salvation and their members need to objectively enter the Catholic Church to go to Heaven and avoid Hell (for salvation).
