CARDINAL GEORGE PELL FINALLY SAYS HE CANNOT ANSWER IN ROME TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC FAITH

I have finally received an e-mail message today from the Secretary of Cardinal George Pell at the Domus Australia, Rome saying that he cannot answer the TWO QUESTIONS I asked him. I cannot meet him personally nor will he e-mail the answer to me.

Dear Mr. Andrades,

His Eminence thanks you for your recent email.

Regrettably he is unable to meet you.

With every best wish,

Fr. Withoos
Private Secretary to the Prefect

Here are the two questions His Eminence will not answer.
 
1) Do we personally know the dead now saved in invincible ignorance, a good conscience (LG 16) etc,can we see them, are they physically visible to us in 2014 ?

2) Since we do not know any of these cases, in real life, they are not visible for us, there are no known exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, or Ad Gentes 7 which states 'all' need 'faith and baptism' for salvation ?
 
 
Here is the last letter I sent him.

To
His Eminence George Cardinal Pell,
Cardinal-Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy,
Vatican

Dear Cardinal Pell,
I had come yesterday to the Domus Australia, Rome seeking an appointment with you so that I may ask you two questions.I  also sent the two questions on the Catholic Faith via e-mail to the Domus Australia on May 7,2014.
 
Here are the two questions.
1) Do we personally know the dead now saved in invincible ignorance, a good conscience (LG 16) etc,can we see them, are they physically visible to us in 2014 ?

2) Since we do not know any of these cases, in real life, they are not visible for us, there are no known exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, or Ad Gentes 7 which states 'all' need 'faith and baptism' for salvation ?

 
I await your reply.

In Christ,

Lionel Andrades,
Catholic layman in Rome.

Did it come as a surprise that Cardinal Pell did not have time to meet with you or respond to your email? Both of these questions likely require a lengthy and nuanced answer.

The answer is just YES or No.

If I asked you if you could see the deceased in your locality, who are now buried in the local graveyard would you have to give me a lengthy answer?
