Fr. Tom Weinandy ofm.cap, a former director of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine,USCCB, like his predecessor Mgsr. John Strynkowski was a thorough liberal and so was invited by Pope Francis to the International Theological CommissionITC).He accepted the false philosophy and theology of Pope Benedict and Cardinal Ladaria's ITC papers, Christianity and the World Religions (1996) and The Hope of Salvation for Infants who die without Baptism(2007).1 These papers endorsed the new philosophy that people in Heaven were physically visible on earth.They put forward the new theology like in Redemptoris Missio and Dominus Iesus,that there was known salvation outside the Church with invisible people actually being visible.This was the reasoning of Pope Benedict and Cardinal Ladaria, now the Secretary of the CDF.For them hypothetical cases could be considered non hypothetical to create a new theology. Their foundation was the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 which considered physically invisible cases of the baptism of desire(BOD),baptism of blood (BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) as being visible exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) as interpreted by Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston and the St. Benedict Centre there.
'10. Exclusivist ecclesiocentrism—the fruit of a specific theological system or of a mistaken understanding of the phrase extra ecclesiam nulla salus—is no longer defended by Catholic theologians after the clear statements of Pius XII and Vatican Council II on the possibility of salvation for those who do not belong visibly to the Church (cf, e.g., LG 16; GS 22)...'-International Theological Commission, Christianity and the World Religions
59. The Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston (1949) offers further specifications. “To gain eternal salvation, it is not always required that a person be incorporated in reality (reapse) as a member of the Church, but it is necessary that one belong to it at least in desire and longing (voto et desiderio). It is not always necessary that this desire be explicit as it is with catechumens.
When one is invincibly ignorant, God also accepts an implicit desire, so called because it is contained in the good disposition of soul by which a person wants his or her will to be conformed to God’s will”. - The Hope of Salvation for Infants who die without being baptized', International Theological Commission, 2007

Fr. Tom Weinandy never complained. This was the theological norm.He accepted all this irrationality.So Vatican Council II became a rupture with EENS for him. Lumen Gentium 16(invincible ignorance), Lumen Gentium 8(elements of sanctification and truth in other religions), Unitatis Redintigratio 3(imperfect communion in the Church) etc, for Weinandy refer to known people saved outside the Church.So the past ecclesiology with an ecumenism of return was discarded.The new ecclesiology based on invisible people being visible exceptions to EENS was accepted.
For Fr. Tom Weinandy this was the new theological norm,the politically acceptable 'development', he defended at the USCCB.
Perhaps all this was an oversight for Fr.Tom who has written an excellent letter to Pope Francis, expressing the feelings of numerous Catholics who may not know theology as he does, but know something is definitely wrong.The objective error in philosophy and theology though, which contradicts the Principle of Non Contradiction, could be something he did not notice.
For the USCCB Doctrinal Committe under Cardinal Donald Wuerl,BOD,BOB and I.I were visible exceptions to EENS, in the case of Fr. Peter C.Phan.So the USCCB presented a vague Christology without the necessity of membership in the Catholic Church for salvation.Fr.Phan was not obliged to affirm exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church.
Possibilities known only to God(BOD,BOB and I.I) cannot be considered real people in the present times.They cannot be exceptions to the traditional teaching on salvation.This is an error of ITC.

No one corrects the mistake above since they are afraid as Fr. Weinandy has pointed out. No American priest is allowed by the USCCB to point out the error in public. BOD,BOB and I.I are only possibilities known to God, this is common sense.They are not actual known people saved outside the Church, without 'faith and baptism'(Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II).But every American priest has to use the invisible- people- are- visible premise(of the ITC) to remain a priest in good standing.It is the same with every religious and lay Catholic in the USA.

It is interesting to see how Fr. John Zuhlsdorf affirms the philosophical error(invisible people who are now in Heaven saved with BOD, BOB and I.I are now visible) and the theological error ( they are visible exceptions to EENS since they are personally known examples of salvation outside the Church,possibilites are known people, visible in the flesh).
Top Catholic blogger-priest Fr.John Zuhsldorf like Fr.Tom Weindany complains when Pope Francis suggests in Amoris Laetitia that we can see or know on earth, someone in manifest mortal sin who is not actually in mortal sin and would supposedly be going to Heaven if death comes suddenly.This of course is false.We humans cannot know. But it also false when Fr.Zuhsdorf, like Pope Francis,Pope Benedict and Fr. Weinandy teach, that there are known exceptions to the dogma EENS, as it was known to the missionaries in the 16th century.This theological nonsense was called 'a development in Vatican Council II', by Pope Benedict (2016 Avvenire).Where are these exceptions? Who has seen them?
Bloggers say Fr. Tom Weinandy was an establishment (leftist) theologian recognized by the USCCB and the Vatican (official dissenters from the past magisterium of the Church).
He was repeating the lie of there being known salvation outside the Church, to reject the old exclusivist ecclesiology.The old exclusivist ecclesiology, which Pius XII allegedly did away with according to the ITC.

The old exclusivist ecclesiology is really an impediment to the new world religion being supported by the two living popes.Fr.Tom Weinandy admired for his honest letter to the pope, perhaps the result of a mystical initiative, was part of the theological deception.Hopefully he will now correct the errors in the Catholic Church on the salvation-issue.
