The baptism of desire has nothing to do with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.This was the ‘drama’ of the Archbishop and Jesuits of Boston

Peter Vere, Fr.Francois Laisney of the Society of St.Pius X(SSPX),EWTN, the International Theological Commission, the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, Fr.William Most and Mnsgr.Fenton, Jeff Mirus of Catholic Culture, Catholics United for the Faith, Catholic Answers and cardinals and archbishops of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, all assume that the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance are exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and also to Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II,which says all need faith and baptism for salvation.

In other words the dead- saved exist on earth for them, these cases of the deceased saved with baptism of desire etc in 2013 are visible for them, to be exceptions.They are exceptions to the teaching that every one needs to be a visible member of the Catholic Church for salvation.



If there are apples in a box and there is also an orange then the orange is an exception because of its colour. It is also an exception because it exists.If it did not exist it would not be an exception.Similarly if there was a group of boys standing in one place and all of them are tall except for one, the one who is short, is an exception also because he is there.He exists there.So the baptism of desire cannot be an exception to the dogma since there are no known cases, there is no visible case. It does not exist explicitly for us.

When they all correct this error they will find that there is no basis for the liberal interpretation of Vatican Council II.

The Council is traditional and in agreement with the SSPX position on other religions, ecumenism and religious liberty.-Lionel Andrades
