Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Church did not need Cushingism to live longer.

When hypothetical cases are considered to be non hypothetical and objective in the present times I call this Cushingism. For example invisible cases of the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) could be mistaken to be physically visible and personally known people in the present times. So it is then inferred that there are objective examples of salvation outside the Church.

However when hypothetical cases are seen as just hypothetical and not known people in the present times,I call this Feeneyism. With Feeneyism, the BOD, BOB and I.I would not be practically known people in the present times.This is something obvious. So it cannot be inferred that there are objective exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).

Pope Paul VI interpreted Vatican Council II with Cushingism. So he allowed Mixed Marriages ( Matrimonia Mixta), which were formally a mortal sin. Instead he assumed the non Catholic spouse  could also go to Heaven since the New Theology, Cushingite theology, said outside the Church there is salvation.He interpreted Unitatitis Redintigratio 3 ( Decree on Ecumenism) as an exception to Feeneyite extra ecclesiam nulla salus.It is there in the text of Matrimonia Mixta. So in other words UnitatitisRedintigatio 3 referred to a personally known non Catholic, a Christian, saved outside the Catholic Church.This is irrational. Yet this was the pontiff's reasoning.

He lifted the over 19 years excommunication of Fr. Leonard Feeney, who refused to recant, but Cushingism was the pope's  New Ecclesiology at inter faith meetings. There was no more exclusive salvation in the Church for him. BOD,BOB and I.I were exceptions.

There supposedly was a known Christian saved outside the Church and this was the start of the New Ecumenism.

The new ecumenism, theology and ecclesiology had its foundation in personally known cases of BOD, BOB and I.I and in Vatican Council II, physically visible cases of LG 8, LG 114, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2,GS 22 etc.

So now Cardinal Joseph Coutts and the Pakistani bishops do not have to chose martyrdom.With Cushingism there is no mission  with traditional Feeneyite doctrines.

The Cushingite,liberal bishops in Pakistan simply have to say that UR 3,LG 8, LG 16, GS 22 etc are exceptions to Feeneyite EENS.In other words they are objective examples of salvation outside the Church.This is their reasoning.But it gets them off the hook. It makes doctrine non controversial. It is the faith compromised.

This means there are practically known exceptions to the dogma EENS for the Pakistani bishops and the Catholic Church in the past was wrong to say that all Jews, Muslims and other non Catholics were oriented to Hell, without 'faith and baptism'.The old missionaries in pre-partitioned India and Pakistan were wrong to interpret mission and salvation doctrines with a rational theology, Feeneyite theology.

So now the bishops contradict John 3:5 ( the necessity of baptism), Mark 16:16( all need to enter the Church to avoid condemnation),John 6( receiving the Eucharist is necessary for salvation),Mat.7:13( the Church is the narrow gate and most people take the wide road and go to Hell).This is being taught at the Catholic seminaries in Pakistan with the approval of the Vatican. But for me their Cushingite position is deception.Since now we know tht there is no known salvation outside the Catholic Church. We cannot physically see someone saved without 'faith and baptism' since God is not limited to the Sacraments(CCC  1257).

I cannot meet someone saved in Rome or about to be saved, outside the Church, 'with elements of sanctification and truth'(LG 8), imperfect communion with the Church(UR 3), seeds of the Word(AG 11) etc.

So where are the exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus in Vatican Council II, Your Eminence?

There were no exceptions known to St. Teresa of Avila whose feast day it is today. She believed all Lutherans and Moors(Muslims)were going to Hell. She wanted to go to the Muslim areas in Spain to be martyred for her faith in Jesus.
