The Boniface problem is a real problem among educated Catholics today especially traditionalists. Since I am asking them to affirm a Vatican Council II ( premise-free) and extra ecclesiam nulla salus(premise-free).All these years, for a few generations, they were taught to affirm both with the irrational premise.This was the norm in the Catholic Church, among liberals and conservative Catholics.
This is tough for Boniface at the blog Unam Sanctam Catholicam.Since he was taught that the baptism of desire, baptism of blood and being saved in invincible ignorance were exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS). Now I am saying they never were.
So how is he going to make the change?
He was taught probably that Fr. Leonard Feeney was excommunicated for denying the baptism of desire etc as being an exception to the dogma EENS. Now I am saying that the excommunication was wrong since BOD, BOB and I.I never were exceptions to the dogma EENS.
How is Boniface going to make the switich?
How is Boniface going to make the switich?
He was taught that Vatican Council II is a rupture with Tradition, it is a break with the Syllabus of Errors etc. Now I am saying that if hypothetical cases in Vatican Council II are interpreted as just being hypothetical, then the Council does not contradict the old ecclesiology, EENS or the Syllabus of Errors. This is new information and he does not know any one else who says the same thing.
Then the whole Church interprets BOD, BOB and I.I as being visible exceptions to EENS so why should he listen to a lay man like me?
Why make the transition even though it is rational and traditional?
This is the Boniface problem thousands of Catholics face with what I write.Then there those who do not want to contradict their superiors or lose some privilege they have so they do not affirm magisterial documents without the irrational premise.
Even the traditionalist blogger Louie Verrecchio has the Boniface problem.So does Cardinal Burke, Chris Ferrara....-Lionel Andrades
