Vatican Council II = extra ecclesiam nulla salus

When Jim Farell's report was posted on Church Militant TV (CMTV) his equation was Vatican Council II does not equal extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS), Vatican Council II does not support EENS but rejects and opposes it. So Tradition which supported EENS was obsolete for him There was a new equation. Like most Catholics he would picture in his mind non Catholics being saved in invincible ignorance, in Heaven, without faith and baptism.
This is an imaginary picture.
In reality we humans, past or present, could not see or meet any such person, since a person saved can only be in Heaven. We on earth cannot see them in Heaven without faith and baptism.
Jim Farrell's article on CMTV was a propaganda piece, like the stuff Jimmy Akins  has to write on Catholics Answers , to please the Left and keep his job as an apologist.Similarly, Prof. Robert Fastiggi  has to criticize Fr. Leonard Feeney once in a while, to show he respects the political propaganda on Vatican Council II being a rupture with EENS- when in reality it cannot be so.
Many Catholics are influenced by the writings of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre , Michael Davies, Dietrich von Hildbrand,Plinio Correa and other well meaning traditionalists who interpreted the Council  as being a rupture with EENS.
This same mistake is there in the papal documents of Cardinal Ratzinger.Pope Paul VI and the popes who followed him also interpreted Vatican Council II as a break with EENS. This was a mistake.
Our primary reference today to support the past exclusivist ecclesiology, an ecumenism of return and the Social Reign of Christ the King over all political legislation- is Vatican Council II. This is the Conciliar Church.-Lionel Andrades
