Asia Bibi a Catholic has been acquitted of blasphemy against Mohammad by the Supreme Court of Pakistan.The law does not permit Catholics freedom of religion and belief. It cannot be said that the Catholic religion teaches in Vatican Council II that Mohammad is in Hell.He died without faith and baptism, which all people need for salvation(AG 7).
Bibi refused to renounce her faith in Jesus, as was being demanded by Muslim clerics, in exchange for her freedom to live.
According to the Catholic Church Mohammad is in Hell without Catholic faith and the baptism of water(AG 7), which is needed for 'all' for salvation(AG 7).Vatican Council II is in harmony with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, outside the Church no salvation. Mohammad knew about Jesus and the Church.
Exclusive salvation, which is also there is Islam, was originally there in the Catholic Church.However the Church has been infiltrated. In the 1949's the ecclesiastics made an objective mistake in the Fr. Leonard Feeney case. They assumed in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949, that assumed invisible cases of the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) are visible exceptions to the dogma EENS.
Similarly Leftists in the Catholic Church wrongly assume that LG 8, LG14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to known non Catholics in the present times (1965-2018) saved outside the Church.Objectively there can be no such people for us human beings.
Without the irrational premise ( invisible non Catholics saved outside the Catholic Church are physically visible and known), the Catholic Church's teaching on Mohammad and all Muslims in general, is the same before and after Vatican Council II.
This is the teaching of the Catholic Church which is not proclaimed by the liberal Pakistani bishops,including Cardinal Joseph Coutts.It may not have been known to Bibi.
The rank and file Christian, not only Catholic, proclaim their faith in Jesus. For them he is the only Saviour of the world. He died and is Risen.He will return again to judge the world. For this they are often persecuted.
Due to the severe persecution by Muslims, there is unity among over a million Christians in Pakistan, even though Protestants, Pentecostals and other Christians, are also outside the Church, Jesus' Mystical Body.
Those Christians who have died as martyrs and are in Heaven, are Catholic.In Heaven there are only Catholics ( Vatican Council II, Ad Gentes 7, Athanasius Creed, Catechism of Pope Pius X, Catechism of the Catholic Church ( n.846. Outside the Church no salvation, citation of Ad Gentes 7), Cantate Dominio Council of Florence 1441 etc.).
Asia is free but today are many Christians who are in Pakistani jails.They do not have the international support which was there for Asia during the last eight years she was in solitary confinement.-Lionel Andrades
