Michael Voris' presence in New Hampshire augurs well for the Church. The issue is theological according to the website of the Diocese of Manchester

It's wonderful to see Michael Voris at the St. Benedict Center, in New Hampshire. It augurs well for the Church.

The issue is theological according website of the  Diocese of Manchester,USA.

Theology supports the St. Benedict Center. Vatican Council II can be interpreted with Cushingism or Feeneyism and the conclusion will be different. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith(CDF) and Bishop Peter Libasci, Bishop of Manchester and his Curia, interpret Vatican Council II with Cushingism .While Brother Andre Marie MICM, Prior , at the St. Benedict Center(SBC) interprets Vatican Council II with Feeneyism so there is no rupture with Tradition for him.According to Brother Andre Marie's  letter on doctrine, in reply to the CDF, he has chosen the rational Feeneyite option. It can be read on the Catholicism.org website.For him there are no personally known cases of non Catholics saved in invincible ignorance.

Cushingism and Feeneyism are important interpretative tools I use to explain myself on this issue.

Cushingism for me says hypothetical cases are objective examples of salvation outside the Church(we can see hypothetical cases of non Catholics saved in invincible ignorance) while Feeneyism says they are just hypothetical and theoretical and so cannot be objective exceptions to the traditional interpretation of EENS( the baptism of desire is always theoretical for us humans).This is my rough, working definition. For details and articles on this subject check the right hand bar of this blog.

Cushingism is irrational and is responsible for what Pope Benedict referred to as the hermeneutic of rupture.But Pope Benedict was a Cushingite. His New Theology is Cushingism.

Cushingites are not only the liberals but also the traditionalists, especially those who have had their religious formation under Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.They include  sedevacantists like  Bishop Donald Sanborn.

So in the diocese of Manchester,USA like Bishop Peter Libasci, the sedevacantist community Congregatio Mariae Reginae Immaculatae(CMRI), under Bishop Mark Pivarunas also interprets Vatican Council II with Cushingism. So there is a rupture with EENS ( Feeneyite), the past exlusive ecclesiology, the ecumenism of return and of course the Syllabus of Errors.This is what Cushingism does.

So liberal Bishop Peter Libasci and traditionalist Bishop Mark Pivarunas in the Diocese of Manchester are Cushingites.

But in the Diocese of Manchester,Brother Andre Marie avoids the false premise, which creates Cushingism.He is back to the Old Theology ( Feeneyite) without adding any thing new or creating a new theology.

So the SBC are Feeneyite and the CMRI are Cushingites.

Both Cushingites and Feeneyites can affirm all magisterial documents. The difference lies in the use or omission of a premise.

Brother Andre  affirms all magisterial documents, including Vatican Council II and he does not have to reject EENS according to Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston.Since he is not a Cushingite on Vatican Council II.No rupture is creatd.

He also does not have to reject the Letter of the Holy Office 1949LOHO).Since the first part of LOHO affirms Feeneyite EENS, while there are no exceptions to the Feeneyite EENS mentioned in the second part of LOHO. The baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) referred to in the second part of the Letter, are exceptions to EENS only with Cushingism. Brother Andre Marie interprets BOD, BOB and I.I as personally unknown cases according to his letter on doctrine.This Feeneyism. So BOD, BOB and I.I are not rejected. They are accepted as being hypothetical only. They cannot be anything else and they do not contradict Feeneyite EENS.

So he affirms Vatican Council II and EENS and his reasoning is rational.The same cannot be said for the CDF Secretaries and Bishop Libasci. They have to use the false premise. Otherwise they will not be able to cite any text from the Council.

LG 8, LG 14, LG 16,UR 3, GS 22 etc without the false premise are not exceptions to EENS.An invisible person cannot be a visible example of salvation outside the Church in 2019-

Brother Andre Marie has also called attention to Vatican Council II ( Ad Gentes 7) which says all need faith and baptism for salvation. Similarly Lumen Gentium 14 also supports Feeneyite EENS.Vatican Council II, with Feeneyism, is no more a rupture with EENS according to the missionaries and Magisterium of the 16th century.

For Pope Benedict EENS in 2016 was no more like it was for the missionaries in the 16th century since there was a rupture with Vatican Council II interpreted with Cushingism.

He like the CDF and Bishop Libasci wanted a rupture with Tradition. 

The CDF Secretaries in their correspondence, available on the Diocese of Manchester website, want Brother Andre Marie to interpret hypothetical cases in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (847-848), as being objective examples of salvation outside the Church, in the present times. This is irrational. But it is only with this ruse that there can be a rupture created with EENS.

This is heresy. Brother Andre Marie has refused to accept it.

So the CDF and Bishop Libasci are trying to twist his arm and charge that he is legally not a Catholic.

In other words he must claim that invisible cases of BOD,BOB and I.I are visible exceptions to the centuries old interpretation of EENS to be legal. The popes and saints of course were all wrong for the CDF.Legally they want a new Catholic Church.

Brother Andre Marie is not allowed to say that hypothetical cases of  LG 8 etc are not exceptions to the strict interpretation of EENS and so Cardinal Luiz Ladaria sj made an objective error at the Placquet Deo Press Conference last year.He told the correspondent from the Associated Press that the Church no more teaches that it has the superiority and exclusiveness in salvation. It was only with Cushingism that he could make that statement.
Heresy is the norm. This is the new theological understanding of the CDF and the Diocese of Manchester.It needs to be identified and corrected.
