Priest does not make the rational distinction between implicit and explicit, invisible and visible, in fact and in principle

Fr.John George of the Archdiocese of Sydney on the discussion forum True Catholic suggests that  Vatican Council II, Ad Gentes 7 made  a mistake since all do not need to enter the Church in Sydney in 2013. There are some known exceptions to him.

He indicates that  the Catechism of the Catholic Church 846 carries an error since all do not need to enter the Church as through a door. There are exceptions for him.So he  will not affirm AG 7 and CCC 846 etc.

He does not make the rational distinction between implicit and explicit, invisible and visible, in fact and in principle.

In fact every one needs to enter the Church for salvation (AG 7)

In principle a non Catholic can be saved with the baptism of desire etc and may not need to enter the Church with the baptism of water, if God so chooses(LG 16).

AG 7 refers to visible baptism of water.

LG 16 refers to invisible baptism of desire etc.

AG 7 refers to an explicit action.

LG 16 refers to an implicit action known only to God.
