Lumen Fidei is pleasing to the Jewish Left

There has been no criticism from the Jewish Left to the encyclical Lumen Fidei. Their leftist media has welcomed it.
 
 
Lumen Fidei is a liberal encyclical which interprets Vatican Council II according to the ADL and  Rabbi Rosen. The encyclical also does not say that Jews need Catholic Faith in the present times to go to Heaven and avoid Gehenna.

No proclaiming of the Good News to them or any one else in the present times. For the popes our elder brethren have 'the light of the faith' and they don't need the Messiah or the Church.
 
The encyclical does not say that Jews have 'ecclesial faith'.Neither does it say that do have it.
 
What if Lumen Fidei  said only Catholics have ecclesial faith? Would the Chief Rabbinate of Israel again break dialogue with the Vatican ?
 
It must  be pleasing for the Jewish Left that ecclesial faith  was extended to Christians.This is a rejection of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. It was also an interpretation of Vatican Council II according to Cardinal Richard Cushing, the Archbishop of Boston.Pope Benedict is an old Cushingite.
 
Lumen Fidei implies that Jews do not need to convert into the Church in the present times since there are known cases of salvation(among Jews) 'outside the Church'.
 
Since there are known exceptions to the dogma , Muslims too could be among those exempt from entering the Church  in 2013.
 
 This is the new theology of the Magisterium, supported by the Jewish Left, which the popes want all theologians to be faithful too.
 
Lumen Fidei is a political document. It expresses a 'faith' approved by Masons and the rest  of the Left, enemies of the Church. It is based on Cushingism which is irrational, unreal and heretical.
 
 It was Cardinal  Richard Cushing who about the time of the creation of Israel, created a theory , that of the visible-dead. This theory became the basis of a new and irrational interpretation of Magisterial documents (Mystici Corporis, Letter of the Holy Office 1949, Redemptoris Missio etc).  Cushingism is  one of the two interpretations of Vatican Council II used by the popes. It underlies Lumen Fidei.

Redemptoris Missio does not contradict Fr.Leonard Feeney

Redemptoris Missio does not contradict Fr. Leonard Feeney since  when 'the Encyclical Redemptoris Missio states that salvation “is not granted only to those who explicitly believe in Christ and have entered the Church” (art. 10)' it is not referring to any cases known in the present times who can be an exception to the literal interpretation of Fr.Leonard Feeney.
 
Fr.Brian Harrison assumes that Redeptoris Missio contradicts Fr.Leonard Feeney.In a theological forum he has written :
 'To reach eternal salvation, it is necessary (though not sufficient): (a) to have been baptized sacramentally; and (b) to die sincerely professing the Catholic faith and one’s own personal submission to the Roman Pontiff...
 
Pope John Paul II, in an authoritative statement that is more explicitly ‘anti-Feeney’ than those found in either the Catechism or the conciliar texts, teaches in the Encyclical Redemptoris Missio that salvation “is not granted only to those who explicitly believe in Christ and have entered the Church” (art. 10). While this clearly contradicts both of the propositions (a) and (b) in bold type above,...- Fr.Brian Harrison.
 
10. The universality of salvation means that it is granted not only to those who explicitly believe in Christ and have entered the Church. Since salvation is offered to all, it must be made concretely available to all. But it is clear that today, as in the past, many people do not have an opportunity to come to know or accept the gospel revelation or to enter the Church. The social and cultural conditions in which they live do not permit this, and frequently they have been brought up in other religious traditions. For such people salvation in Christ is accessible by virtue of a grace which, while having a mysterious relationship to the Church, does not make them formally part of the Church but enlightens them in a way which is accommodated to their spiritual and material situation. This grace comes from Christ; it is the result of his Sacrifice and is communicated by the Holy Spirit. It enables each person to attain salvation through his or her free cooperation.
For this reason the Council, after affirming the centrality of the Paschal Mystery, went on to declare that "this applies not only to Christians but to all people of good will in whose hearts grace is secretly at work. Since Christ died for everyone, and since the ultimate calling of each of us comes from God and is therefore a universal one, we are obliged to hold that the Holy Spirit offers everyone the possibility of sharing in this Paschal Mystery in a manner known to God."
-Redemptoris Missio
The universality of salvation means that it is granted not only to those who explicitly believe in Christ and have entered the Church.
This is an affirmation of the dogma on salvation and the traditional teaching.It is saying salvation is granted to those who explicitly believe in Jesus Christ and have entered the Church visibly -and also to those who are saved with the baptism of desire etc.Those who are saved with the baptism of desire within the Church can only be possibilities for us and cannot be personally known. For them to be exceptions to the traditional interpetation of the dogma they would  have to be personally known.
 
Perhaps Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger assumed these cases were personally known to us.They were exceptions. Since  Pope Benedict VI and Pope Francis in the  encyclical  Lumen Fidei includes Christians among those having 'ecclesial faith'. Christians in Lumen Fidei are exceptions to the centuries old dogmatic teaching on exclusive salvation in only the Catholic Church.
 
Redemptoris Missio states:
 
For such people salvation in Christ is accessible by virtue of a grace which, while having a mysterious relationship to the Church, does not make them formally part of the Church but enlightens them in a way which is accommodated to their spiritual and material situation.
 
This refers to the possibility of salvation if God chooses it in  a way known only to him.Since these cases would not be known to us it is not an exception to  the literal interpretation of Fr.Leonard Feeney.Fr.Brian Harrison assumes that they are exceptions.This would imply that he could name such a case in the present times.
 
Redemptoris Missio:
 
 "this applies not only to Christians but to all people of good will in whose hearts grace is secretly at work. Since Christ died for everyone, and since the ultimate calling of each of us comes from God and is therefore a universal one, we are obliged to hold that the Holy Spirit offers everyone the possibility of sharing in this Paschal Mystery in a manner known to God."
Same as above. These cases would only be known to God and they are not explicit for us to be an exception to the traditional interpretation of Fr.Leonard Feeney.
 
So Redemptoris  Missio is not contradicting the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus since we do not know who is saved with grace in 2013.

The Catholic Church is the actual instrument through which God works his salvific action- Michael Voris

http://youtu.be/m3J7O4eS_ME

– not merely a sign of salvation...




If it were not for the Catholic Church, the whole world would end up in Hell because the Catholic Church is necessary for salvation. This is its charter – to be the instrument of salvation – not merely a sign of salvation, but the actual instrument through which God works His salvific action.
-Michael Voris

The Cushing error is convenient and prudent for intepreting Vatican Council II

Catholic Answers, EWTN, CUF, Steubenville, Ignatius,Ave Maria college, convert apologists would agree that ecclesial faith mentioned in Lumen Fidei would include Christians, and not just Catholics, since they all like the traditionalists interpret Vatican Council II according to the Cushing error.

They do not make the distintion between explicit and implicit, in fact and in principle, visible and invisible.Like Cardinal Richard Cushing they mix up possibilities known to God as being personally known realities in the present times.

It could be simple ignorance on their path.However for those who are not ignorant it is also being prudent with a lie. EWTN apologists know that the Cushing error is irrational but they would not like to appear anti Semitic, traditionalist and hated by the political Left for interpreting the Council according to the reasoning of Fr.Leonard Feeney.It does not pay financially. It is not good for the career. So lie.

Convert apologist Robert Sungenis has removed references to Christ the King from the homepage of his website The Bellarmine Report.If he refuses to interpret Vatican Council II according to Richard Cushing will his website be targeted by the anti- Semitic censors?

Rorate Caeli removed posts critical of the International Theological Commission President and Secretary, who interpreted Vatican Council II according to Cardinal Richard Cushing- with the visible dead theory.A liberal Rabbi in Rome who teaches ecumenism at the Angelicum University, Rome with the Richard Cushing interpretation objected.


If Rorate Caeili interprets Vatican Council II without the Richard Cushing Error leading to the dead man walking and visible theology, would Rorate have to pull down reports about Vatican Council II ?

So when Rorate continues to give us the usual interpretations of Vatican Council II with the Cushing mistake is it because New Catholic and other editors on Rorate really don't understand or are they protecting themself with the falsehood?

Is this the reason why they are all silent when Lumen Fidei includes Christians as having ecclesial faith ?-Lionel Andrades

There can be two interpretations of Vatican Council II Lumen Fidei has chosen the irrational one.

In interviews with the National Catholic Register Archbishops Gerhard Muller and Augustine Di Noia of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith used the Cushing interpretation of Vatican Council II(LG 14-invincible ignorance and LG 8- elements of sanctification and grace).They said LG 14 and LG 8 contradicted the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. No one commented. Perhaps many did not know what was happening.
Rorate Caeli, SSPX, SSPX-SO, Fr.John Zuhlsdorf, Michael Voris, Remnant newspaper, traditionalist blogs and forums did not realize what Archbishops Muller and Di Noia said to Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register ?
For Richard Cushing LG 14 and LG 8 would refer to visible to us in the flesh cases who are known exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.For Fr.Leonard Feeney LG 14 and LG 8 and LG 16 would not be known exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
So there are two ways of interpreting  Vatican Council II
(1) assuming there are visible to us exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus or
(2) assuming there are no visible to us cases of the deceased who are now saved in Heaven.
We can interpret the Council according to Cushing and claim there are personally known cases of the deceased.Or according to Fr.Leonard Feeney we could say there are no known exceptions in the present times to the traditional interpretation of the dogma.
In the National Catholic Register interviews the Archbishops of the CDF chose the Cushing irrational interpretation of the Council. It is a break with the past.
So in public they have told us that a Christian, a Protestant, can be saved ( and they know such a case personally!) so there are exceptions to the dogma.
Lumen Fidei also suggests Christians can be saved ( in the present times, defacto, explicitly, visibly).They have ecclesial faith!.This is how Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis interpret Vatican Council II. Similar to Cushing.
 
In principle, in faith and if God wishes it, a Christian could be saved in invincible ignorance (LG 16,LG 14) or elements of sanctification and grace (LG 8).Cushing assumed that what was accepted in principle, as a possibility was defacto, explictly known to us.So he assumed there were known contradictions to the traditional interpretation of the dogma.The CDF Archbishops also assume that in principle cases are defacto known. Even the popes in Lumen Fidei make the same mistake.It is upon this objective error- of being able to see the dead- that they have built up their dead man walking and visible theology.
 
How can Christians now dead and hopefully in Heaven and who are visible only to God be exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.? If we personally cannot see any such case on earth how can we say that Christians have 'ecclesial faith'? How can the popes imply that Christians de facto do not have to convert into the Church for salvation; to avoid Hell?
