Lay Catholics, with or without an academic degree from a pontifical university can interpret Vatican Council II in harmony with the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(Outside the Catholic Church there is no Salvation), an ecumenism of return,the old exclusivist ecclesiology and the Syllabus of Errors.It would be in harmony with the Mission doctrine of St. Ignatius of Loyola and St.Francis Xavier.Lay Catholics can accept the teachings of the pope only when he is in harmony with the traditional teachings of the Church. This is when he is harmony with Magisterial documents, inspired by the Holy Spirit, interpreted rationally.This would be the same also for converts to the Catholic Faith.Converts must study the Church Fathers, the medieval classics and re-interpret Vatican Council II without a false premise and inference.This would mean accepting the past popes and interpreting the present ones, in harmony with the past pontifffs.The Catholic Church is made up of the Church Triumphant and the Church Militant.Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow(Heb.13:8).
Like natural law,the laws of aerodynamics, bouyancy,thermodynamics and gravity,do not change,so also, the laws at the supernatural level of life; the objective reality of Heaven and Hell, also do not change.-Lionel Andrades
