SSPX (USA) could preempt the Vatican

Pope Francis and Archbishop Gerhard Muller could be issuing a statement soon on the Society of St.Pius X(SSPX). Fr.Arnaud Rostand, District Superior of the SSPX (USA) could preempt it.The SSPX is in the driving seat, they have a winning ace- unless they are trying to protect the Regina Caeili House from being mortgaged.

Fr.Rostand must understand that the Pope and the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith have made an innocent error in the interpretation of magisterial documents including Vatican Council II.Once the SSPX corrects this error in public, it will be the SSPX who are in perfect agreement with Vatican Council II and the CDF Prefect in an irregular position.
 
The SSPX will be 'in' and Cardinals Kaspar, Koch and Schoenberg will be 'out'.It's as simple and breathtaking as that.
 
The entire theology and ecclesiology of the Catholic Church will be back on the traditional rails.
 
The SSPX can continue with nonsense reports on their website, about there being an ambiguity in Vatican Council II or, the SSPX(USA) could announce simply that there is no known baptism of desire ;they cannot name any case in 2013.
 
If all salvation mentioned in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 , Vatican Council II , the Catechism of the Catholic Church etc are not visible to us( and obviously it is not) then there are no known exceptions in 2013 to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus .Vatican Council II would emerge  traditional and pro-SSPX.  
 
So before the Vatican issues a statement saying that the SSPX continues to reject Vatican Council II and so the punishemnt is ..., Fr.Arnaud Rostand could be saying that the Council is traditional and in agreement with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.It is not in agreement with the Vatican Curia's position.He could preempt a lot of trouble and turn the game in their favour.
 
Presently  the CDF is expecting the SSPX to accept Vatican Council II with the visible-to-us baptism of desire and invincible ignorance.This is  a break with the past, with the dogma on salvation and the Syllabus of Errors.
 
 
It needs courage, since Fr.Rostand will be saying, according to Vatican Council II and not just the SSPX,  all Jews, Muslims and Christians (Protestants and Orthodox) etc need to convert into the Catholic Church to avoid Hell (AG 7) and there are no known exceptions in the present times.(LG 16,LG 8 etc not being exceptions).
 
Then they could ask the CDF if they are willing to accept this interpretation of Vatican Council II.
 
1) Ad Gentes 7 affirms the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
2)LG 16, LG 8,AG 11 etc are possibilities but not exceptions.
Vatican Council II is traditional and the SSPX is traditional so they have a right to canonical status, without changing their present beliefs.
 
 
The liberals, Cardinals Kaspar,Koch and others, have no rational text in Vatican Council II to support their view, they cannot claim LG 16 is an exception to AG 7 and the dogma on salvation.The Council text (AG 7) supports a traditional interpretation of other religions and Christian communities.
Cardinal Kaspar is presently interpreting Vatican Council II with the Richard Cushing Error assuming that LG 16 (invincible ignorance) refers to known to us ;visible to us cases.With this false premise the Council will appear ambigous. Remove this premise and the Council is clear and rational as the Council Fathers intended it to be.
Imagine the surprised newspaper headlines when Fr.Rostand issues a rational clarification.Some of them could be:
Fr.Arnaud Rostand says Vatican Council II without the dead man walking theory does not contradict extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

The CDF officials have made a factual mistake which is public and are doing theology unaware of it.A small clarification is required from Fr.Arnaud Rostand to turn the game around.It could be a simple statement like," I cannot see the dead and the Council does not claim we can"
