Every Catholic should know

Caption: Pope Francis arrives to celebrate Mass in Rizal Park in Manila, Philippines, Jan. 18. It was the final public liturgical celebration of the pope's Jan 13-19 trip to Sri Lanka and the Philippines. (CNS/Paul Haring)Every Catholic should know that there is no one in the present times (2015) who is an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and to Vatican Council II (AG 7,LG 14) .Vatican Council II supports the traditional, centuries old interpretation.
Also there is no Church document before 1949 which says there are exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus. The Council of Trent ,Mystici Corporis etc do not claim  that the baptism of desire etc refer to cases  known to us in the present times and so are an exception to all needing the baptism of water in the Catholic Church, to avoid Hell( for salvation).
So Vatican Council II (AG 7;LG 14) supports 'the rigorist interpretation' of the dogma on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church.There is nothing in Vatican Council II which contradicts Ad Gentes 7 and Lumen Gentium 14.
LG 16,LG 8,NA 2, UR 3 refer to hypothetical cases, possibilities, which must include being saved with the baptism of water, according to the dogma and Vatican Council II itself (AG 7,LG 14).
So any one criticizes the theology of Feeneyism ( there are no exceptions) and supports Cushingism ( there are known exceptions), is making a factual mistake.There are no known exceptions to the Feeneyite version of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.Hypothetical cases cannot be objective exceptions to the dogma. We cannot see possibilities, we cannot meet them and shake their hands. Those who are in Heaven are not physically visible on earth.So they cannot be relevant or an exception to all needing the baptism of water in 2015 to avoid Hell.
Remember - that in 2015 all non Catholics are on the way to Hell unless they convert into the Catholic Church.Don't let people fool you with words like 'theology', 'Fr.Feeney', 'Vatican Council II'.'Nostra Aetate', 'ecumenism'.
This is not said in a critical way of these persons but mater of factly.We love all non Catholics.All of them. Jesus asks us to love all.
He died for all of them,to save them form Hell.This is why we call him the Saviour.Non Catholics can convert onto the Catholic Church before death and so go to Heaven.
In Heaven there are only Catholics.They are there with Catholic faith and the baptism of water and without mortal sin on their soul.-Lionel Andrades
