IF THE CDF DOES NOTHING WHOM CAN WE APPEAL TO, POPE FRANCIS ?: PUBLIC ERRORS BY VATICAN OFFICIALS INCLUDING THE CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH


There are so many Catholics on the Internet who innocently assume that being saved in invincible ignorance or with implicit desire are exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. There is no correction from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith whose officials have made the same error in public.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) has never said that these cases are known only to God, and so could not be exceptions to the necessity of the Church for the salvation of all. The CDF has never said that there cannot be known exceptions, to all needing faith and baptism (AG 7).

So the reports on Fr.Leonard Feeney are written either in innocence or intentional propaganda.The CDF silence seems like part of the propaganda.  There are so many of these reports on the Internet with even errors being made by members of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican.

 Cardinal William Levada, Prefect of the CDF wrote a preface for the book Documenti. Documenti, which has the published works of the International Theological Commission makes this same error. Documenti has been published by Cardinal Luiz Ladaria S.J, the present Secretary of the CDF. This same error is made by Cardinal Gerhard Muller  and Archbishop Di Noia in two separate interviews given to Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register, on the subject of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.The CDF officials implied there were known exceptions to the dogma, defined three times.The same error is made in public by officials of the  Congregation for the Clergy and the Council for Christian Unity,Vatican - and yet the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith does not issue a clarification.
If the CDF does nothing whom can we appeal to, Pope Francis? Archbishop Gerhard Muller (right) is not making any announcement.
