Error of the SSPX leader

Paul VI acknowledged, we continue, to the extent of our abilities, to proclaim that the Church can change neither her dogmas nor her morality. For no one can meddle with these venerable institutions without provoking a genuine disaster. -Bishop Bernard Fellay

The SSPX has changed the Catholic dogma  extra ecclesiam nulla salus by assuming that the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 says those saved in invincible ignorance and with implicit desire are visible to us. The Letter of the Holy Office does not mention that these cases are visible to us and common sense tells us that they are invisible. So how can these cases be known exceptions to the dogma on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church.

So this is an error of the SSPX. Invincible ignorance cases in Heaven are not visible but invisible for us.

Doubts about the necessity of the Church as the unique source of salvation and about the Catholic Church as the only true religion originating in the Declarations on Ecumenism and Religious Liberty, destroy the authority of the Church’s Magisterium. Indeed, Rome is no longer the unique and necessary “Magistra Veritatis” [“Mistress of Truth”]. -Bishop Fellay

When Vatican Council II says there can be those saved in imperfect communion with the Church we can assume that these cases are visible to us in 2013 or they are not visible.

If they are not visible then they do not contradict Ad Gentes 7 which says all need faith and baptism for salvation. Protestants and Orthodox Christians do not have Catholic Faith.

The SSPX assumes that these cases are visible to us in 2013 and so are an exception to Ad Gentes 7 and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

So this is an error of the SSPX. Those in imperfect communion with the Church are not visible to us but are invisible.-Lionel Andrades
