Pope Francis canonizes the Martyrs of Otranto, slain by Islamic invaders

Pope Francis canonizes the Martyrs of Otranto, slain by Islamic invaders

The saints agree with me!

I was talking to two seminarians from Africa two days back when I finally said "The saints agree with me.I agree with the saints Don Bosco, St.Francis of Assisi etc'.
St.Robert Bellarmine would agree with Vatican Council II (AG 7) when he affirms the literal interpretation fo the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. He did not mention any  exceptions.He knew about implicit desire etc but did not consider these cases visible to us. So they are not exceptions to the defined dogma.
The two seminarians study heology at the Salesian University,Rome and belong to the community of Don Orione.
St.Robert Bellarmine had the same message as Vatican Council II.
For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door.-Ad Gentes 7,Vatican Council II
Therefore, all must be converted to Him,...and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body.-Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II
The following passage also from Ad Gentes 7 does not contradict St.Robert Bellarmine since it is referring to invisible-to-us cases.
Therefore though God in ways known to Himself can lead those inculpably ignorant of the Gospel to find that faith without which it is impossible to please Him-Ad Gentes 7,Vatican Council II
Again the follwing passage from Ad Gentes 7 does not contradict St.Robert Bellarmine.Invisible cases!
Therefore those men cannot be saved, who though aware that God, through Jesus Christ founded the Church as something necessary, still do not wish to enter into it, or to persevere in it.-Ad Gentes 7,Vatican Council II
 
Nor is the following line an exception to St.Robert Bellarmine.
made known by the Church's preaching- Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II
 
'made known by the Church's preaching' as distinguished from 'those who are in invincible ignorance',both cases would be known only to God.They are visible for us.They are possibilities only and not exceptions to St.Robert Bellarmine.If they were known to us personally they would be exceptions.
The Church teaches,after Vatican Council II, like St.Robert Bellarmine, that all non Catholics defacto need to convert in the present times for salvation and that de facto we do not know any case who knows, is made known by the Church's preaching and is saved, who is inculpably ignorant of the Gospel and saved, so, like St.Robert Bellarmine taught,'therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body.'

So as St.Robert Bellarmine and the saints taught traditionally ' Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door' and there are no known exceptions. -Lionel Andrades

Protestant LifeSites.com ignores Pope Francis' comment on 'absurd' to look for Jesus without the Church

Owned by the Protestant Steve Jalsevec and his family, LifeSitesNews.com has made available the following reports, among others, on Pope Francis.
But like the liberal media LifeSitesNews deleted the following report.
 
Pope celebrates his saint's day with cardinals: 'absurd' to look for Jesus without the Church
http://eucharistandmission.blogspot.it/2013/04/pope-celebrates-his-saints-day-with.html#links
They have prominently quoted Mons.Ignacio Barreiro,possibly one of their Catholic donors, in yesterday's March for Life and in  other reports in Rome. Unfortunately the Catholic Monsignor will not say that the Catholic Church still teaches that for salvation all Christians need to enter the Catholic Church.
The usually 'prudent' Mon. Barreiro once 'imprudently(?)' wrote a report in a  pro SSPX publication and then in the Latin Mass Magazine in which he said that non Catholic religions are false religions. I quoted him as saying Islam is not a path to salvation.He probably got threats from the Vicariate in Rome, denied the faith and wanted to have nothing to do with me.
He wants mothers not to abort and was interviewed by Radio Maria urging Eluana's father not to have his daughter killed in euthanasia- but to avoid being suspended in Rome and losing his valuable reputation he will not affirm the traditional teaching on salvation- at least not in public.
Even the mother who aborts could be doing so for her personal interest, to protect her lifestyle or reputation or some other worldly aim, which the Monsignor also considers important.
Monsignor Barreiro says that he knows that there are no known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and he knows that we do not know any one saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire but he will not affirm the 'rigorous position' of Fr.Leonard Feeney. He has visited the communites of Fr.Leonard Feeney in the USA and does not agree with them on something.What that 'something' is he does not remember.
He does not agree with them in public not to  cause controversy and so risk losing his incardination or is it for some other personally useful reason ?
So he maintains the veneer of their being exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, even though it is heresy, as long as he can keep doing what he does at the Human Life International Offices in Rome and the  USA and his other activity,including being a Spiritual Director for the Militia Christi,Italy.
What a disapointment !A Catholic Monsignor denies the Catholic Faith to avoid being suspended while he urges other Catholics not to abort, use contraception etc. The acting leader of the Human Life International calls this being prudent (in a worldly sense).Perhaps the women who contracep, also call it being prudent.

Life Sites holds a liberal ecumenical positions and projects it as that the teaching of Vatican Council II and the Catholic Church. The monsignor will not contradict them. It would not be 'prudent'.For them all salvation is there in Jesus only and the Catholic Church is not necessary, at least one one does not have to convert into the Catholic Church. Mons.Barreiro is prudently comfortable with this.
 
The Protestant LifeSitesNews is also prudent when it involves the issue of earnings and worldly success.Or,perhaps for religious reasons omitted Pope Francis' statement-Lionel Andrades
