There is a breakdown in the SSPX-Vatican reconciliation.Once again a lobby has derailed it.
Bishop Bernard Fellay announced that there was an agreement on a personal prelature with no questions asked.With no conditions.The date had to be announced.Some thought it could be May 13 or a later date.Archbishop Guido Pozzo confirmed all was well.
Now that's all ended.
The SSPX once again has to sign a doctrinal preamble which will recognize Vatican Council II (Cushingite).Vatican Council II (Cushingite) is a break with Tradition.This rupture with Tradition will be implicitly( or explicitly) accepted by Bishop Fellay, if he signs the document.
The same thing happened during the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI.
It was agreed at that time too that Vatican Council II would not be an issue.They could simply come into the Church with canonical status and plenty of goodwill.Then before the final step was taken the SSPX was told that they had to accept Vatican Council II ( Cushingite). Also there was no comment from the Vatican on the SSPX General Chapter Doctrinal Statement 2012 which affirmed extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS), with no possibility of salvation outside the Church.This was Feeneyism.It was EENS according to the 16th century missionaries.This was SSPX doctrine that was brushed aside by the liberal magisterium.
Now if Bishop Fellay signs the doctrinal preamble, he will affirm a Vatican Council II in which LG 16, LG 8, UR 3, NA 2 etc are examples of salvation outside the Church.So there is the possibility of known salvation outside the Church.This is the New Theology.It would contradict the dogma outside the Church there is no salvation.It would also contradict the doctrinal statement of the SSPX General Chapter.It means that he accepts Vatican Council II ( Cushingite) as a rupture with Tradition. He would also be rejecting the alternative, the alternative Vatican Council II,it is Vatican Council II ( Feeneyite).It is in harmony with the Syllabus of Errors and the past ecclesiology of the Church.
This option is still there for Bishop Fellay.He can choose to affirm Vatican Council II but not as interpreted by Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict but like 'the layman in Rome'.In this way the reconciliation can advance if the Vatican and the bishops conferences accept Vatican Council II( Feeneyite).
The SSPX must affirm Vatican Council II (Feeneyite) which they can call Vatican Council II, Pozzo,Lefebvre or any other name. They can similarly call Vatican Council II( Cushingite) by any other name( Ratzinger, Marx or Kasper).There are now a few hundred reports on line on Vatican Council II Feeneyism and Cushingism etc.
With Vatican Council II (Feeneyite) LG 16, LG 8 etc will not be examples of salvation outside the Church.They will not contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Since they will refer to invisible and hypothetical cases and not concrete people. Only concrete people can be exceptions to the dogma EENS.'Zero cases of something are not exceptions to the dogma EENS' says the U.S apologist John Martignoni, who has a program on EWTN.Fr.Stefano Visintin osb, the Vice Rector and former Dean of Theology of the University of St. Anselm Rome agrees with him.
With zero exceptions to EENS in Vatican Council II( Feeneyite or Pozzo/Lefebvre) there will be harmony with the dogma EENS( Feeneyite) and the old ecclesiology of the Church and also the Syllabus of Errors on ecumenism, no salvation for non Christians, exclusivist ecclesiology on Mission,non separation of Church and state etc.
The SSPX will meet at least Pope Benedict's doctrinal requirement that they affirm Vatican Council II with the hermeneutic of continuity(Vatican Council II,Pozzo/Lefebvre) and not a hermeneutic of rupture( with Vatican Council II,Cushingite/Ratzinger,Marx,Kasper).
It will also prevent an internal division in the SSPX.Since Tradition is being affirmed, in particular, the exclusivist ecclesiocentrism of the past while the General Chapter Statement is not being contradicted.
The episcopical conferences in the USA, U.K, Germany, of course, may go into schism or simply rebel.
The SSPX however, will be meeting the requirement to accept Vatican Council II.
