Hypothetical references in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949, Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church are mistaken as being non hypothetical by the St. Benedict Centers : clarification needed

Hypothetical references are mistaken as being non hypothetical by the St. Benedict Centers, the communities of Fr. Leonard Feeney in the USA. Over the last 50- plus years they have supported wrong doctrine.

They interpreted the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 with hypothetical cases not being hypothetical. They were in some way, actual people, in their mind, relevant to the dogmaextra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).

Then references to hypothetical cases inVatican Council II,for the St.Benedict Centers were interpreted as not being hypothetical. They became known people saved outside the Church. So this would, of course, be a rejection of the dogma EENS by the Council. So they rejected Vatican Council II.

Then hypothetical cases in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1994), were also non hypothetical and objective for them, and so there was a rupture with the dogma EENS. 

Once they correct the error Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church will not be a rupture with Feeneyite EENS.They simply have to affirm Vatican Council II, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Feeneyite EENS.

The ecclesiology of the Catholic Church for them today, would  be the same as at the time of Fr.Leonard Feeney, Sr. Catherine Goddard Clarke MICM and Brother Francis Malus MICM.Thetheology of the Church would be the same. There would be no change in mission-motivation.It would be the same as it was for the Jesuits in the 16th century.


They must clarify however that they affirmVatican Council II, with hypothetical cases just being hypothetical and it is the same with theCatechism of the Catholic Church.It is the same with the Letter of the Holy Office 1949.

So they affirm the first part of the Letter of the Holy Office and reject the Second Part which contradicts the first part.It is irrational and violates the Principle of Non Contradiction.-Lionel Andrades
