Fr.Brian Harrison is revising for the community of Fr.Leonard Feeney (catholism.org) a 33 page article which suggests there are known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

He does not know any one saved in invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire so how can these cases be exceptions to the literal intepretation of Fr. Leonard Feeney ?


No Church document states that the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance are visible to us or that we can personally know these cases, so then how can these cases be relevant or an exception to the Counci of Florence on extra ecclesiam nulla salus ?

Where does the Letter of the Holy Office state that Fr.Leonard Feeney was excommunicated for heresy  and not disobedience ?

About Fr. Brian Harrison, O.S.

The Rev. Brian W. Harrison, O.S., M.A., S.T.D., a priest of the Society of the Oblates of Wisdom, is an Associate Professor of Theology in the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico in Ponce, P.R.. He is also parochial vicar of the parish of Saint Joseph the Worker in the city of Ponce, and a ‘Defender of the Bond’ for the island’s marriage tribunals.
He was born in Australia and, after being raised as a Presbyterian, converted to the Catholic faith in 1972. In 1979 he began studies for the priesthood in the major seminary of Sydney, and after completing his Licentiate in Theology at Rome’s Angelicum university was ordained as a priest in Saint Peter’s Basilica in 1985 by His Holiness Pope John Paul II. In 1997 he gained his doctorate in Systematic Theology, summa cum laude, from the Pontifical Athenæum of the Holy Cross in Rome.
Fr. Harrison, who has lived in Puerto Rico since 1989, is well-known as a speaker and writer. He is the author of two books and over 120 articles in Catholic magazines and journals in the U.S.A., Australia, Britain, France, Spain and Puerto Rico. His special interest in theological and liturgical matters, in keeping with the charism of the Oblates of Wisdom, is upholding a ‘hermeneutic of continuity’ between the teachings of Vatican Council II and the bimillennial heritage of Catholic Tradition.

Clarification/disclaimer would be helpful on the SBC website
 

Australian priest and Zionist newspaper in false catechesis

Jesus died to saved all. This includes atheists and dissenting religious.

This does not contradict Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7) which says:

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. 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. -AG 7

Neither does it contradict the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Outside the Church No Salvation (CCC 846)

Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.-Ad Gentes 7 (Catechism of the Catholic Church 846)

It does not contradict the traditonal teaching on mission and evangelization ,which says all non Catholics are on the way to Hell unless they convert into the Catholic Church.

Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church support Fr.Leonard Feeney.

So it is a false catechesis here by the Huffington Post supported by Fr.John George of the Archdiocese of Sydney.

All people,including atheists need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water for salvation.(AG 7,CCC 846 etc). If there was an atheist saved by doing good, we would not know this case personally and neither would this possibility be an exception to Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic.
