Ecclesiology is not changed with I.I and BOD.It never was.Vatican Council II was always orthodox on salvation.The ecclesiology was exclusivist.

IMG_2635To create a new ecclesiology something new must be added. This 'something new' was being saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire and that these cases were allegedly inferred to be known to us personally.This was how they did it!

'Being known to us personally' was the something new.With this premise cardinals Marchetti and Cushing could create a new ecclesiology.

Baptism of desire (BOD) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) were mentioned by some popes.What was new, was Marchetti-Cushing linking BOD and I.I to the dogma as an exception.

In the past I.I and BOD were irrelevant to the dogma. Cardinal Cushing, the Archbishop of Boston active at Vatican Council II along with the Jesuits linked it to the dogma and made it relevant.He excommunicated Fr.Leonard Feeney.

In the past, it was always irrelevant to the dogma since hypothetical cases cannot be defacto exceptions in the present times.They made it relevant at Vatican Council II,implying that these cases were personally known to us, so they become exceptions.They became exceptions to the centuries old interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.This was the only interpretation of the dogma associated with the Old Mass.

This is the new ecclesiology.We now have the missing link.Avoid the premise and you are back to the old ecclesiology.You can even offer the New Mass along with the old ecclesiology.The real issue is doctrine and not liturgy.

Notice it in Vatican Council II (LG 14,AG 7) but skirt around it and the orthodox passages remain.

For me , I.I and BOD must be followed with the baptism of water.This is the de fide teaching in the dogma. i.e every one needs the baptism of water for salvation.

It is not a dogma that BOD and I.I are the ordinary means of salvation or that they must exclude the baptism of water.

So we can affirm the orthodox passages of Vatican Council II without the Cushing addition and ecclesiology will not have changed.

ORTHODOX PASSAGES
Therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door. -Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II.
 
Basing itself upon Sacred Scripture and Tradition, it teaches that the Church, now sojourning on earth as an exile, is necessary for salvation. Christ, present to us in His Body, which is the Church, is the one Mediator and the unique way of salvation. In explicit terms He Himself affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism(124) and thereby affirmed also the necessity of the Church, for through baptism as through a door men enter the Church. -Lumen Gentium 14, Vatican Council II.
 
They are fully incorporated in the society of the Church who, possessing the Spirit of Christ accept her entire system and all the means of salvation given to her, and are united with her as part of her visible bodily structure and through her with Christ, who rules her through the Supreme Pontiff and the bishops. The bonds which bind men to the Church in a visible way are profession of faith, the sacraments, and ecclesiastical government and communion.-Lumen Gentium 14, Vatican Council II.
CUSHING ADDITIONS
Therefore those men cannot be saved, who though aware that God, through Jesus Christ founded the Church as something necessary, still do not wish to enter into it, or to persevere in it."(17) Therefore though God in ways known to Himself can lead those inculpably ignorant of the Gospel to find that faith without which it is impossible to please Him (Heb. 11:6)-Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II
Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by Christ, would refuse to enter or to remain in it, could not be saved.-Lumen Gentium 14, Vatican Council II
Catechumens who, moved by the Holy Spirit, seek with explicit intention to be incorporated into the Church are by that very intention joined with her. With love and solicitude Mother Church already embraces them as her own.-Lumen Gentium 14, Vatican Council II
 

If someone insists on interpreting the Cushing Addition, saying that the baptism of water must not follow, tell him that we do not and cannot know of any such case today (April 15,2015 for example ).There cannot be a known exception to the orthodox passages.So there are really no exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II.

So ecclesiology is not changed with I.I and BOD.It never was.Vatican Council II was always orthodox on salvation.The ecclesiology was exclusivist.
-Lionel Andrades


Joseph Shaw would not say that all need to formally enter the Church for salvation in Britain. This would be the old ecclesiology.Instead he would say that there are exceptions. This is the new ecclesiology.
