Franciscan Conventual Friars and the SSPX priests

OFMConv

The Society of St.Pius X(SSPX) priests at Albano,Italy are saying that there is no implicit salvation that is visible to us.Yet the Franciscan Conventual Curia magazine states there is an 'ecclesiology of communion'.This  contradicts St.Maximilian Kolbe.

In their magazine Miles Immaculatae in Italian, published by the OFM Conv. Curia in Rome an article asks what of St.Maximilian Kolbe can be carried over into the 20th century.It refers to an ecclesiology of communion.

The OFM Guardian would not answer two questions.


1. Do we know anyone in 2012 saved with the baptism desire and invincible ignorance ? and (2). can these cases be exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus?

The SSPX priests have said that there is no implicit salvation that is visible for us.So they have answered the first question. If these cases are not visible to us then we cannot assume that they are exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. The dogma as St.Maximillian Kolbe understood it and expressed it in his writings.

The OFM Conventuals will not answer the two questions like the priests from Albano,Italy.Since if there are no known exceptions to the dogma on salvation then what is the basis for an ecclesiology of communion instead of the traditional ecclesiology of St.Maximillian Kolbe ?
