Michael Matt needs to change and not Brother Andre Marie MICM : Remnant News is as obsolete as CDF's Morandi and Di Noia

I had browsed through an Angelus Press article  supporting extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) but criticizing Fr. Leonard Feeney.There concept of EENS was that there were exceptions. They would also cite Mons. Joseph Clifford Fenton. Michael Matt   ridiculed Fr. Leonard Feeney in that report.We now know that the Catechism of the Catholic Church supports Fr. Leonard Feeney and so does Vatican Council II.

When I read references to being saved in invincible ignorance (I.I) , in magisterial documents, I see a theoretical and hypothetical case.But for Michael Matt at Remnant News, it is different.He would picture a personally known non Catholic saved outside the Catholic Church.So invincible ignnorance becomes an exception to EENS for him.

Michael Matt's father and the traditionalists of that time also made the same mistake.

This is a wrong way of reading Vatican Council II even for the St. Benedict Center at Still River,MA, USA.The prior is Brother Thomas Augustine MICM in the Diocese of Worcester.

However the traditionalist Brother Andre Marie MICM, Prior at the St. Benedict Center, New Hampshire, USA, has made the change.

In his communication with the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith(CDF) he  clarified  that there are no personally known cases of being saved in invincible ignorance etc.

So there are no exceptions to the Feeneyite passages on Vatican Council II, the orthodox passages,  which support exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church. Brother Andre Marie quoted Ad Gentes 7 in bold italic letters  saying  all need faith and baptism for salvation.He does not make the mistake of Michael Matt and other traditionalists. The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the St.Benedict Center in the Diocese of Manchester, USA, are simply looking at hypothetical cases as just being only hypothetical, in the Cathechism of the Catholic Church.

 The Catechism of the Catholic Church supports EENS according to the founders of the St. Benedict Center - Fr. Leonard Feeney, Sr.Catherine Clarke Goddard and Brother Francis Malus MICM.But Bishop Athanasius Schneider  and Fr. Davide Pagliarani are still make a mistake in observation.This was indicated in their statements  last month.

Since invincible ignorance referred to known cases of salvation outside the Catholic Church, they  ended up with a fake Christian theology of religious pluralism and salvation, an ecumenical Christ of the liberals and the New Agers.They had no choice . They had to move into this theological position since they did not want to be Feeneyite on EENS.

Vatican Council II and the Catechism(1994) had to be a rupture with Tradition for Bishop Schneider and the Superior General of the SSPX, Fr.Davide Pagliarani.But it is not so for Brother Andre Marie and the religious community Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Bishop Schneider needs to call for a Syllabus of Errors on Vatican Council II but Brother Andre Marie does not.

Fr. Pagliarani has to reject Vatican Council II and choose Tradition but the traditionalists at the St. Benedict Center do not have to make his choice.The  Council does not contradict EENS.

Since the Catechism(1994) does not contradict Fr. Leonard Feeney on EENS, there still is an ecumenism of return and the old ecclesiology for them and they do not have to reject Vatican Council II ( Feeneyite).

It is Michael Matt at the Remnant News who has to make the transition. Since his way of looking at magisterial documents is as obsolete as that of Archbishops' Morandi and Di Noia,Secretaries, at the CDF.

So the issue is not the liturgy and Holy Mass. Here we have the traditionalists supporting the new and old ecclesiology at Holy Mass.

Michael Matt at Mass in Latin holds the same new ecclesiology as the liberals as at Mass in the vernacular.
