Father Alessandro Minutella

Father Alessandro Minutella former Parish Priest in Palermo, Italy has accused Pope Francis and the Archbishop of Palermo of being in heresy.He repeated specific charges. There was no denial from the Vatican or the  Archbishop.

He concluded that Pope Francis is not the real pope and Pope Benedict is still pope for him.

But for me Pope Francis is repeating the theology and doctrines of Pope Benedict who would also be in heresy and schism.Pope Benedict is indirect and subtle but is saying the same thing.

Both interpret the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) with the irrational premise( visible cases of the baptism of desire are objective examples of salvation outside the Church) and so there is schism on EENS with the past popes. This is also heresy.

But this is also the interpretation of Fr. Alessandro Minutella who has had his theological formation at the Gregorian Pontifical University, Rome.

So we have two popes, the Archbishop of Palermo and Fr.Minutella with the following position.

1.They reject the dogma EENS as it was known for example to the Magisterium and missionaries in the 16th century.They do this by assuming invisible non Catholics -saved are visible examples of salvation outside the Church and exceptions to EENS.

2.They reject Vatican Council II interpreted without the false premise and instead interpret Vatican Council II with the irrational premise to create a rupture with Tradition( EENS, Syllabus of Errors on ecumenism etc).

3.They interpret BOD, BOB and I.I in all the Catechisms, with the same irrationality, to create a rupture with Feeneyite EENS and Tradition in general.
4.They have changed the meaning of the Nicene Creed.So there is a new understanding during the Profession of Faith, Oath Against Modernism and Oath of Fidelity.

Since the two popes assume there is salvation outside the Church they consider 'a speculative possibility' as 'a real person in real life'. Fr. Alessandro Minutella makes the same error.So for the two popes Martin Luther could be an Anonymous Christian saved outside the Church as a possibility.Fr. Minutella rejects this and supports the dogma EENS here.

The Letter of the Holy Office 1949 relative to Fr. Leonard Feeney made an objective mistake and all camps are using that false premise.

It reminds me though of Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston. He was not saying anything new. There are no visible cases of the BOD, BOB and I.I for them to be relevant or exceptions to the dogma EENS. So he was correct. The Holy Office and the Archbishop of Boston were in heresy. They excommunicated him.

Similarly Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre was correct. Vatican Council II with LG 8, LG 16 etc interpreted as referring to known people saved outside the Church, was a rupture with the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church.It is heresy and schism.Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger did not affirm Vatican Council II without the premise.They excommunicated him.

Now Don Minutella is told outside the church in Ars,France that he is excommunicated and cannot offer Mass there.But the Rector, who makes this announcement in public, also rejects the basic de fide teachings of the Church, mentioned above,  which was the Catholic faith of the Cure de Ars, St. John Marie Vianney.-Lionel Andrades
