The Diocese of Manchester's Decree-Precepts-St.Benedict Center, issued by the Episcopal Vicar for Canonical Affairs is based on false reasoning

The Diocese of Manchester's Decree-Precepts-St.Benedict Center, issued by the Episcopal Vicar for Canonical Affairs says:

For the Following Reasons :

• That for the decisions of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of April 15,2016 (Prot.N.1732/66-55029,) and of October 20,2016 (Prot.N.1732/66-57466,) have not been observed.
• That those so corrected by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Fait have been corrected by their obstinacy(Cf.CIC 1983 canons,750,751),
• That scandal in the Church continues (CCC 1997,nos.2284-2287),...

The above reasons are based on the theological communication between the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and Brother Andre Marie MICM 1 .

The two secretaries of the CDF, Archbishop Giacomo Morandi and Joseph Augustine di Noia assumed there were practical and objective exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).

They also assumed that there were references in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Vatican Council II and Dominus Iesus, to these objective exceptions to EENS.

So they assumed hypothetical and theoretical cases in these Magisterial documents were objective examples of salvation outside the Church.

So for them the traditional teaching on there being only Catholics in Heaven expressed in Ad Gentes 7 and the dogma EENS, was contradicted by the Catechism(846.848) etc.

This is an objective mistake of the Secretaries of the CDF.

They mixed up what is implicit as being explicit, invisible as being invisible, hypothetical as being practical.

They violated the  Principle of Non Contradiction.Irrationality is at the basis of their new theology.

So they have used false reasoning upon which the Diocese of Manchester is enforcing prohibitions on the St. Benedict Center with legal consequences.

The  action of the CDF Secretaries is ultra vires .They do not have the authority to use false reasoning, which results in lies and deception and then upon this subterfuge claim  that the St. Benedict Center does not affirm the orthodox and traditional teaching of the Catholic Church on salvation. Since for them there is a developed understanding of the dogma EENS based on false reasoning and clear lies.
