In March 2016 Pope Benedict said extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) was no more like it was for the missionaries of the 16th century because of Vatican Council II.He meant Vatican Council II interpreted with Cushingism(invisible people are visible). This is the point that Brother Andre Marie MICM must refer to.
Secondly, in March 2018 Cardinal Luiz Ladaria sj said EENS was contradicted by Lumen Gentium 8 and so the Church no more held that it had an exclusiveness and superiority in salvation.Thirdly in the correspondence with Brother Andre Marie, the Secretaries of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith(CDF) stated that CCC 847-848 contradict EENS ( Feeneyite).
These are error which the SBC could help correct. These are Cushingite errors.
Even traditionalists make the same error in reasoning since the 1940's.
We Catholics do not have to say that the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and invincible ignorance(I.I) are exceptions to Feeneyite EENS.The popes and saints did not state that they refer to visible and known people saved outside the Catholic Church.So for centuries they did not make this mistake in the Catholic Church.Not a single one of them. When they were asked about BOD, BOB and I.I they responded. They did not state that these were practical exceptions to EENS.
So we can read Vatican Council II with the for and neutral to EENS passages and not for and against EENS passages. The 'red is not an exception to the blue' and not vice versa.
The Diocese of Manchester wants the SBC to interpret Vatican Council II irrationally and then be accepted as legal Catholics.The Diocese of Manchster is openly and legally saying that 1)invisible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I are visible exceptions to EENS and 2) invisible cases of LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc are physically visible examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church in 2019 and are practical exceptions to EENS. This will not hold water. with rational people in New Hampshire.Bishop Peter Libasci must clarify the opposite. This must also be done for other Catholics in Manchester, like the Charismatic Renewal Movement,Cursillo,Men of St.Joseph, Ecumenical groups and religious communities.-Lionel Andrades
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"Today bring to Me ALL MANKIND, ESPECIALLY ALL SINNERS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me."
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

"Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind." Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard--upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing.

Divine Mercy Novena - Day 3
Join in praying the Divine Mercy Novena In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. "Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. The souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness." Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Divine Mercy Novena - Day 4
Join in praying the Divine Mercy Novena In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. "Today bring to Me THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy." Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
Divine Mercy Novena - Day 5
Join in praying the Divine Mercy Novena In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. "Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion." Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
Divine Mercy Novena - Day 6
Join in praying the Divine Mercy Novena In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. "Today bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence." Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
Divine Mercy Novena - Day 7
Join in praying the Divine Mercy Novena In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. "Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death." Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God: Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen. Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Divine Mercy Novena - Day 8
Join in praying the Divine Mercy Novena In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. "Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice." Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen. Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Brother
Andre Marie MICM, Prior, St.Benedict Center, NH, has posted the
Doctrinal Beliefs of the SBC on line, without mentioning that they can
be interpreted with Cushingism( hypothetical cases are non hypothetical) or Feeneyism( hypothetical cases are just hypothetical) and the conclusion would be different. The premise determines the conclusion.
DOCTRINAL BELIEFS OF THE ST. BENEDICT CENTER 1.The
members of the Saint Benedict Center believe with Divine and Catholic
Faith all those things contained in the Word of God, written or handed
on, that is, in the one Deposit of Faith entrusted to the Church, and at
the same time proposed as divinely revealed either by the Solemn
Magisterium of the Church or by its Ordinary and Universal Magisterium
which is manifested by the common adherence of the Christian faithful
under the leadership of the Sacred Magisterium, avoiding any doctrines
whatsoever contrary to them.
CUSHINGISM : The CDF interprets invisible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I as being physically visible.
FEENEYISM :Brother Andre Marie interprets invisible cases as them as being just invisible
____________________________
Lionel: The present ecclesiastics at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) teach that invisible cases of the baptism of desire(BOD),baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance (I.I) are physically visible examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church. So they are postulated as exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS). Similarly for them LG 8, LG 14,LG 16, UR 3 , NA 2, GS 22 etc are also assumed to be exceptions to EENS. So they imply that these are personally known
non Catholics saved outside the Church. This is irrational and the
conclusion is heretical.This is not the doctrinal position held by the
St. Benedict Center(SBC) ___________________
2.We
embrace and retain each and every thing which is proposed definitively
by the Magisterium of the Church concerning the doctrine of Faith and
Morals, that is, each and every thing which is required to safeguard
reverently and to expound faithfully the same Deposit of Faith.
CUSHINGISM : The CDF interprets invisible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I as being visible. They also interpret invisible cases of LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 as referring to visible and known people saved outside the Church.
FEENEYISM :Brother Andre Marie interprets them as being invisible. For Brother Andre Marie LG 8 etc are not visible and known people saved outside the Catholic Church in 2019.So LG 8 would not be an exception to EENS for him.
________________________
It
is assumed that the St. Benedict Center interprets physically invisible
cases of BOD, BOB and I.I as being physically invisible only. So they are not exceptions to EENS.
____________________
3.We
adhere with submission of will and intellect to the teachings which
either the Roman Pontiff or the College of Bishops enunciate when they
exercise their authentic Magisterium, even if they do not intend to
proclaim these teachings by a definitive act. CUSHINGISM : The
Roman Pontiff and the College of Bishops interpret invisible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I as being visible.
They also interpret invisible cases of LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2,
GS 22 as referring to visible and known people saved outside the Church.
FEENEYISM :Brother
Andre Marie interprets them as being invisible. For Brother Andre Marie
LG 8 etc are not visible and known people saved outside the Catholic
Church in 2019. ______________________
They of course do not adhere to the Roman Pontiff or the College of Bishops when they assume that unknown cases of BOD, BOB and I.I are personally known exceptions to EENS as it was defined by the three Church Councils.Otherwise like all good Catholics they are obedient.
______________________________
4.We
believe that Jesus Christ, Son of God, Lord and only Savior, through
the event of His incarnation, death and resurrection has brought the
history of salvation to fulfillment.We
affirm with the Scriptures that “there is salvation in no one else, for
there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be
saved” (Acts 4:12).
Yes
this is the Christocentric position held by the present two popes.
However the SBC also believe that for salvation all need to believe in
Jesus in the Catholic Church.Membership in the Catholic Church is
necessary for salvation.
_________________________________
5.We affirm that all salvation comes from Christ through the Church, which is the Body of Christ, the Sacrament of Salvation.
Yes
this is the New Theology supported by the present two pontiffs. The
pontiffs assume BOD, BOB and I.I are exceptions to EENS and there is
known salvation outside the Church.
This
is expressed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (846).For the SBC
the New Theology and CCC 846, do not contradict the strict
interpretation of the dogma EENS.It is possible for all Catholics to
affirm traditional EENS and CCC 846, interpreted with BOD, BOB and I.I
being hypothetical.
CCC 846 also cites Ad Gentes 7 which says all need faith and baptism. The word all
is used. There are no known cases of non Catholics who can be saved or
are not saved through the preaching of the Church. This would only be
known to God.So all need to enter the Catholic Church to avoid Hell (
for salvation).
_________________________
6.We believe and profess to be a dogma of Divine and Catholic Faith that Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus, “Outside
the Church there is No Salvation,” and that union with Jesus Christ
through His Mystical Body, the Catholic Church, is necessary for
salvation by an absolute necessity of means.
CUSHINGISM : For the Roman Pontiff and the College of Bishops the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) is no more like it was in the 16th century. It has personally known exceptions. FEENEYISM :For Brother
Andre Marie there are no personally known exceptions. This is common sense. It is something obvious for us human beings.So there would be no rupture with Tradition for the SBC when they affirm EENS.
_____________________________
It
means that for the SBC all need to enter the Catholic Church as
members, with Catholic faith and the baptism of water and there are no
known exceptions.
_________________________
7.We affirm that the dogma “Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus” must be interpreted according to the official doctrine of the Church. FEENEYISM :
Brother
Andre Marie refers to EENS, the Creeds and Catechisms and Vatican Council II interpreted rationally i.e without the false premise. CUSHINGISM : The
Roman Pontiff and the College of Bishops interpret the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) irrationally and heretically.This is the official doctrine for them.
___________________________
The
official doctrine of the Church includes the three Church Councils
which defined EENS in the extra ordinary Magisterium and the popes who
affirmed it in the ordinary Magisterium.It includes Vatican Council II (
AG 7) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (845,846 etc) and
Dominus Iesus (20).It includes the Letter of the Holy Office 1949(
interpreted with hypothetical cases of BOD, BOB and I.I not being
exceptions to EENS as referred to in the first part of the Letter), Catechism of Pope Pius X ( with BOD, BOB and I.I referring to invisible cases only), Mystici Corporis etc ( with BOD, BOB and I.I not being exceptions to EENS).
_________________________
8.We affirm that all must hold that the Church is necessary for salvation. FEENEYISM : Brother
Andre Marie says that the Church is necessary for salvation and there are no personally known exceptions.He has mentioned this in his letter to the CDF. CUSHINGISM :The
Roman Pontiff and the College of Bishops would also say that the Church is necessary for salvation.However they also mean that there are personally known cases for them.So membership in the Church is not necessary for salvation.
________________________________
Yes
all must affirm that the Church is necessary for salvation always and
there are no literal cases of BOD, BOB and I.I in 2019.
__________________________
9.We affirm that this doctrine must not be set against the universal salvific will of God.
Yes
according to Dominus Iesus.It says salvation is open to all but to
receive this salvation all need to enter the Church. The Catholic Church
is necessary for salvation.All need to enter it as in the Ark of Noah
at the time of the deluge.(CCC 845).
__________________________
10.We believe that the supernatural virtue of Faith is necessary for salvation by an absolute necessity of means.This
is true even if, in ways known to Himself, God can lead men ignorant of
the Gospel without their fault to the Faith, without which it is
impossible to please Him.This theological virtue is always concomitantly infused with the grace of justification.
Yes
and they believe that all in general need to enter the Catholic Church
with Catholic Faith and the baptism of water.There can be no known
exceptions for us human beings. So there are no cases of people
personally known who are saved in ignorance of the Gospel.It is only God
who can know when a particular person is justified.
________________________
11.We believe that the Sacrament of Baptism is necessary for salvation by a relative necessity of means.We
likewise affirm: “All, therefore, must be converted to Him, made known
by the Church’s preaching, and through Baptism be incorporated into
Christ and into His Church, which is His body.” CUSHINGISM : The
Roman Pontiff and the College of Bishops would also say that the baptism of water is necessary.For them however ' God is not limited to the Sacraments'(CCC 1257).It refers to objective people saved outside the Church. FEENEYISM :
Brother
Andre Marie affirms that the baptism of water is necessary for all for salvation and there are no known exceptions.. There are no known cases of someone who is saved outside the Catholic Church since 'God is not limited to the Sacrament'. He does not mistake a hypothetical possibility as being an actual and known case.
________________________________
They believe that every one needs the Sacrament of Baptism for salvation, with no practical exceptions.
_________________________
12.We believe that “The Church does not know of any means other than Baptism that assures entry into eternal beatitude.”For this reason, in thepractical realm of moral action, it is our duty to proclaim the necessity of the sacrament of Baptism by which we are saved.
They affirm the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1257 Necessity of Salvation)
and in the practical realm do not know any one who is saved outside the
Catholic Church because 'God is not limited to the Sacraments' (CCC
1257).
__________________________
13.We
affirm that those who, through no fault of their own, do not know
Christ and His Church have the possibility of obtaining eternal
salvation.This proposition is affirmed in conjunction with all of the other conditionssine qua nonfor salvation explicitly narrated in theEpistula ad Archiepiscopum Bostoniensem of 8 August 1949 referenced in footnote n. 342 of theCCC, which themselves are referenced as extracted from the Encyclical LetterMystici Corporis Christi of Pope Ven. Pius XII, namely: 1) perfect Charity (“perfecta caritate”) and 2) Supernatural Faith (“fidem supernaturalem”).Such souls can and must be united to Jesus Christ through his Mystical Body, the Catholic Church. CUSHINGISM : 'Those who through no fault of their own, do not know
Christ and His Church, have the possibility of obtaining eternal
salvation'.However this is not just a possibility for Cushingites. It is an exception to EENS. So it is a known person.Someone who is alive. An invisible person cannot be an exception to EENS. FEENEYISM :
Brother
Andre Marie affirms that 'those who, through no fault of their own, do not know
Christ and His Church have the possibility of obtaining eternal
salvation'.It is only a speculative possibility and not a practical exception to the strict interpretation of EENS.It is hypothetical. ___________________________
They
refer here to possibilities known only to God.Personally they do not
know of any one saved in invincible ignorance, outside the Church in the
present times. This can only be known to God.So a possibility is not an
exception to EENS for them. This is also how they interpret Mystici
Corporis etc. If it is possible that there were some people saved in
invincible ignorance this year, it is also possible that there were
none.
_________________________
14.Ignorance
of Christ and His Church does not excuse one from all fault. One is
obligated to follow the natural law. It should be recalled that
invincible ignorance of Christ and His Church does not confer either
justification or salvation.Only
a merciful God, acting as efficient cause, can confer justification and
salvation. As Pope Bl. Pius IX has admonished, it is “unlawful” (nefas) to try to discern the boundaries of invincible ignorance extant among diverse peoples. CUSHINGISM : Those
who are in invincible ignorance are an exception to
EENS. An invisible person cannot
be an exception to EENS.So the Cushingite conclusion is irrational and heretical.They imply that unknown people are known. FEENEYISM :
For Brother
Andre Marie being saved in invincible ignorance refers to someone who can be known only to God. He has mentioned this in his correspondence with the CDF. _____________________________
For
the SBC all need to enter the Catholic Church for salvation and there
are no known cases of being saved in invincible ignorance.We cannot say
that any particular person is exempt from entering the Catholic Church
for salvation, due to ignorance.
__________________________
15.When
non-Catholics die, we leave them to God’s mercy. The Father has given
all judgment to the Son (cf. John 5:22), and He is the Just Judge. FEENEYISM :
For Brother
Andre Marie the dogma EENS indicates that most people will go to Hell since they die outside the Catholic Church.Vatican Council II says the same in Ad Gentes 7 ( all need faith and baptism for salvation) CUSHINGISM : It is unknown to them in personal cases.They say they cannot judge, while they do not affirm Feeneyite EENS. _________________________
Yes
it is only God who will judge in individual cases however they believe
the norm for salvation is faith and the baptism of water(AG 7, LG 14).So
most people are oriented to Hell since they die without faith and
baptism.This is the teaching of the Church in Vatican Council II (AG 7)
and the dogma EENS.These Magisterial documents indicate that when we
meet a non Catholic we know that he or she is oriented to Hell.Since
faith and baptism(AG 7, LG 14, CCC 845,846 etc) is the only known way of
salvation for us.
_________________________________
16.We
believe in God’s particular Providence for all of His elect, in keeping
with the principle laid down by Saint Thomas Aquinas: “For it pertains
to Divine Providence to furnish everyone with what is necessary for
salvation, provided that on his part there is no hindrance.”
All need to enter the Catholic Church with faith and baptism with no known exceptions of ignorance, in the practical realm.
______________________
17.We affirm that for non-Christians, salvation in Christ is accessible [“patens”]
by virtue of a grace, which, coming from Christ and communicated by the
Holy Spirit, has a relationship with the Church, and is bestowed by God
in ways known to God Himself.
FEENEYISM :
Non Christians are all oriented to Hell unless they enter the Catholic Church with faith and the baptism of water. CUSHINGISM : They do not know the fate of non Christians. Since the exceptions are the ordinary way of salvation and not faith and baptism in the Catholic Church.So a person could be saved in ignorance etc. ________________________
This
is not postulated as a known exception to the dogma EENS. Since
practically there are no such people known to us who could be examples
of salvation outside the Church.
_______________________
18.How
God Almighty chooses to exercise His omnipotence in “difficult cases”
is not ours to say. In keeping with the teaching of Pope Bl. Pius IX in Singulari Quadam,
referenced above, it is not for man, a mere creature, to “arrogate” to
himself such judgments. And, as the Holy Father says in that same
Allocution, “let us hold most firmly that, in accordance with Catholic
teaching, there is ‘one God, one faith, one baptism”’ [Eph. 4:5].”24Hence
the importance we attach to preaching the necessity of sacramental
Baptism and joining the Catholic Church without exception. FEENEYISM :
Sacramental Baptism with faith is the ordinary means of salvation and we do not know of any extra ordinary means. CUSHINGISM :
BOD, BOB and I.I and LG 8 etc are exceptions to EENS. So there is an extraordinary means of salvation known to Cushingites. When we meet non Christians we cannot say that they are oriented to Hell.They could be exceptions. Since there are exceptions. There can be many exceptions or most people can come in the category of exception. ____________________
For
the SBC Sacramental Baptism and joining the Catholic Church with no
personally known exceptions, is necessary according to the dogma EENS,
Vatican Council II, the Catechisms and the Creeds.This is the teaching
of the Sacred Magisterium before and after Vatican Council II.This is
the teaching of Sacred Tradition when BOD, BOB and I.I and LG 8, LG 14,
LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc are interpreted rationally.
_________________________________
19.We
hold, as a theological opinion only, that, since Pentecost, God
Almighty can and does incorporate all the elect into His Mystical Body
by actual sacramental Baptism.
Vatican
Council II says that the Catholic Church is the New People of God
(Nostra Aetate 4). Catholics are the New Chosen People. All need the
Sacrament of Baptism in the Catholic Church for salvation.The Catholic
Church is the Mystical Body of Jesus.Members of Christian denominations
need to formally enter the Catholic Church for salvation.
_________________________
20.We affirm that the Church certainly has a perennial obligation and sacred right to evangelize all men. FEENEYISM : However they evangelize knowing that all non Catholics in general are oriented to Hell. CUSHINGISM :They only promote Jesus without the necessity of membership in the Catholic Church and without the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. There are joint mission programs with Protestants.Since it is believed that they are saved in general. __________________________
In
this evangelization it is important to affirm that invisible cases of
the BOD,BOB and I.I and LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc are
not visible and cannot be objective exceptions to EENS. This is
intepreting Vatican Council II rationally.It supports the past exclusive
ecclesiology of the Church,an ecumenism of return and the Syllabus of
Errors.The Council is Feeneyite.Even the popes and saints over the
centuries were Feeneyite.They affirmed the strict interpretation of EENS
and BOD, BOB and I.I were not exceptions.
Evangelisation
is presently done by the National Office for Missionary Cooperation
among the churches, Via Aurelia, Rome.They assume that there are known
exceptions to EENS.BOD, BOB and I.I and LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2,
GS 22 etc refer to personally known people saved outside the Catholic
Church. So 'the red is an exception to the blue', 1 for
them. Upon this irrationality, which creates new doctrines, they have
mission programs but not to convert other Christians.Other Christians
are assumed to be already saved.So in joint mission programs they
proclaim Jesus to others without the necessity of membership in the
Catholic Church or the moral values of the only Church Jesus founded.
This is approved by the CDF and the present two popes.So with visible-
for- them BOD, BOB and I.I they have subtly changed traditional Catholic
theology.

21.We
believe that subjection to the Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Jesus
Christ, is necessary for salvation by a necessity of divine precept. CUSHINGISM : Supports an irrationality which changes the understanding of the Creeds and Catechism, EENS, Vatican Council II etc.This is heretical and it is supported by the present two popes and the CDF. FEENEYISM : The St.Benedict Center avoids the irrationality which changes the understanding of magisterial documents. Catholics are not subject to the Roman Pontifff on this mistake. They need to identify the mistake and have it corrected.
Yes.However
when the pontiff teaches an irrationality to change the understanding
of the Creeds, Catechisms, EENS and Vatican Council II then it is
rejected as heresy.It is also an impediment to offering Holy Mass for a
priest.This is first class heresy and the scandal is now known to many
people.

22.Dialogue with members of other religions can never substitute the mission of the Church, called to bring salvation to all. CUSHINGISM:Mission means only speaking about Jesus without the necessity of membership in the Catholic Church. FEENEYISM : Mission means speaking about Jesus with the necessity of membership in the Catholic Church. _________________________
In
dialogue members of other religions would be told that they are all
oriented to Hell with no known exceptions, unless they enter the
Catholic Church with faith and baptism ( AG 7, LG 14).They also need to
obey the moral teachings of the Church and avail of the Sacraments to
avoid Hell.-Lionel Andrades
