Vatican Council II says outside the Church there is no salvation.
Jesus
tells us in John 3:5 that all need the baptism of water for salvation.
In Mark 16:16 he tells us that God the Father has chosen His Son as the
only way of salvation.Those who do not believe in Jesus within the
Catholic community; the Catholic Church,will be condemned.Jesus says
those who deny Him he will deny before the Father in Heaven.(Matt.10:37)
So
membership in the Catholic Church with faith and baptism is necessary
for all.It is necessary to avoid the fires of Hell, according to the
Bible.
Vatican
Council II indicates most people go to Hell since they die without
faith and baptism(Ad Gentes 7, Lumen Gentium 14).Today there are
billions of people in Hell.This is the teaching of Vatican Council II
and the Catholic Church. It is consistent with the saints over the
centuries. They knew that most people go to Hell.Few are those who are
saved.
So
when we meet non Catholics we know that they are Hell-bound.Since they
will die without the ordinary means of salvation,which is faith and
baptism.
There
are no known exceptions to the ordinary means of salvation. The baptism
of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and invincible ignorance(I.I) are
not practical exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).They
are not practical exceptions to the ordinary means of salvation.We
cannot meet or see any one saved outside the Church.God made it this
way.
BOD,
BOB and I.I are not the ordinary means of salvation and neither are LG
8, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II.The Council does not
contradict EENS, the past ecclesiology, an ecumenism or return or the
Syllabus of Errors.
So it is necessary that everyone become Catholic to avoid Hell. Jesus founded only one Church, the Catholic Church.
The
Bible is Catholic. The Catholic Church chose the inspired manuscripts
which form the Bible. The liturgy of Christians comes from the Catholic
Church at the time of King Constantine the Great.The Holy Trinity is a
dogma of a Catholic Church Council.
The
Medieval Age ,was a golden period in the history of the Church. The
Medieval Fathers were Catholic.There were great saints who experienced
the highest levels of union with God, while remaining within the
Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church is the continuation of the Jewish religion.Catholics are the new people of God,the Chosen People ( Nostra Aetate 4, Vatican Council II). They
have the Sacrifice in the Mass, they have the Messiah promised by the
Jewish prophets. They have the Ark of the Covenant in the Eucharist
placed in a tabernacle. They have the Sacred Scriptures which include
the Old Testament and the Jewish Pentateuch.They have an eternal
covenant made with the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. It was a
fulfillment of the old covenants Yahweh made with the Jews. Catholics
have the temple, the church, where the one and only Sacrifice of Jesus
is re-enacted in an un-bloody way, at Holy Mass.
In Heaven there are only Catholics.They are there with Catholic Faith and the baptism of water(AG 7).
Jesus
died for all. Salvation is open to all in potential but to receive this
salvation all need to be members of the Catholic Church( Dominus Iesus n.20,Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Notification, Dupuis, 2002).
The Catholic Church is the Ark of Noah that saves in the flood (Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) 845).God wants all people to be united in the Catholic Church(CCC 845).
Since
membership in the Catholic Church is necessary for salvation the
priority is the non separation of Church and State and the proclamation
of the Social Reign of Christ the King in all political and social
legislation.
Satanic secularism and State must be separated and opposed.
We cannot separate Jesus from the Church(Dominus Iesus).The Church is the Mystical Body of Jesus the Bible tells us.
We cannot have a kerygma without
the necessity of membership in the Catholic Church.Jesus died and is
risen to save all from Hell. Those who believe in Him and live his
teachings in the Catholic Church, will be saved from the fires of
Hell.Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation.Three Church
Councils in Catholic history called it extra ecclesiam nulla salus.It
is also the message in Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II which calls us
to proclaim it to the peoples.It says all need faith and baptism for
salvation and not just those who know about Jesus and the Church.
In Evangelii Gaudium (Joy of the Gospel) Pope Francis presented the kerygma without the necessity of membership in the Catholic Church. This was a rupture with Catholic Tradition.

The
Good News is that all who believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the
Second Person of the Trinity, the Promised Messiah who will come again,
will have eternal life in Heaven. They must believe that Jesus Died and
is Risen and with his Sacrifice took He away our sins. They must live
the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church on faith and morals.The
Catholic Church has a perennial Magisterium inspired by the Holy
Spirit. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.(Heb.13:8)
Jesus in the Catholic Church is the narrow gate(Matt.7:13), the pearl of great price (Matt.13:45-46), the man who found a treasure in the field and sold all to have it (Matt:13:44-46).
"Saul, Saul why do you persecute me ?", Jesus asked identifying Himself with the Church(Acts.9:4).So we cannot have faith in Christ ( Christology) without membership in the Catholic Church( ecclesiocentric ecclesiology).

The
Eucharist at Mass is necessary for salvation for all and so is the
Sacrament of Baptism.Those who die for Jesus and the Church as martyrs,
have a special place in Heaven.-Lionel Andrades
