Cardinal Muller has alleged apparitions like Medugorje : apparition theology for the SSPX and the Franciscans of the Immaculate

 
Cardinal Gerhard Muller has alleged apparitions. In an interview with the National Catholic Register he said there are exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus mentioned in Vatican Council II. The dead who are now  saved in invincible ignorance are known exceptions to all needing the baptism of water in the present times for salvation, for him. In other words he can see these deceased on earth for them to be exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus as it was interpreted over the centuries.
These  cases are visible in the flesh according to the text of the Council for him.
 
This is not true. Vatican Council II does not make this claim.
How can being saved in invincible ignorance (LG 14,AG 11) be a visible exception to all needing 'faith and baptism'(AG 7) for salvation in 2014 ? Can Cardinal Muller see these deceased ? They  are visible at the Vatican?
What is the credibility of someone who persists in saying that he can see the dead on earth ? How can an educated Catholic  infer that he can see the dead who are now in Heaven and then go on to  reject the traditional interpretation of the dogma according to the Church Councils, the popes and saints ?.Yet this is the position of the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican.
 
The Letter of the Holy Office 1949 wrongly implied that the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance are known and visible to us in the present times. So it was concluded that these cases were exceptions to the traditional interpretation of the dogma by Fr.Leonard Feeney. The dead are explicit exceptions! These cases are in Heaven! They are hypothetical cases for the German cardinal.Yet they are defacto exceptions to the dogma.
 
We cannot physically see the dead in Heaven.So how can they be exceptions traditonal theology ?. This apparition- theology is the norm for Cardinal Gerhard Muller.
Recently he  asked bishops in Italy to discourage the public prayer meetings of the seers at Medugorje it was reported.It is not known if Pope Francis has given these instructions against Medugorje, where the seers speak of Hell and Our Lady mentions often menions sin.She tells  Catholics to go  for Confesion.

How can Cardinal Muller say there is no supernatural evidence for the apparitions or that they cannot be approved ,when he approves the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 which implies that the dead are visible to him (and all of us)  and so are exceptions to the traditional teaching on salvation.
 
Since there is salvation outside the Church for him, the International Theological Commission rejects the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, as does Cardinal Muller.
After promoting such a glaring objective error in public even after being informed ,the Prefect of the CDF is presenting critical advice on the Medugorje apparitions.
 
The  Franciscans of the Immaculate have to accept this apparition of Cardinal Muller in the interpretation of Vatican Council II.They can then have their situation normalised. Also the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX), has to endorse a  Vatican Council II with this apparition- theory.
Why cannot the SSPX and the Franciscans of the Immaculate accept Vatican Council II without the irrational premise, the apparition theology ? Why must they use an irrationality in the interpretation of the Council and the Letter of the Holy Office 1949?
