Pope Francis' new book on ecumenism is based upon the error of the New Theology

The cover of the new volume of Pope Francis' writings
Pope Francis' new book Diversi e Uniti is supports the New Ecumenism,which is based on the irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II.The Council is interpreted with the false premise.So the conclusion is that there is known salvation outside the Church.
For example, Unitatis Redintigratio 3 ( Decree on Ecumenism, Vatican Council II) mentions those Christians who could be saved in imperfect communion with the Catholic Church.
But for me UR 3 refers to a hypothetical case. It is theoretical and so is not an actual case of a Christian saved outside the Church.UR 3 could not be the basis for a New Theology or a New Ecumenism. Since there is no proof; no evidence for a Christian saved outside the Catholic Church.
It is only because Pope Francis mixes up what is invisible as being visible he creates the basis for there being known salvation outside the Church. This error is the foundation for the New Ecumenism, New Evangelisation, New Ecclesiology etc.
So he suggests that God wills a pluralism of religions and a pluralism of Christian theologies.
Similarly by using the error of the New Theology,in one of the theological papers of the International Theological Commission, Vatican, Pope Benedict and Cardinal Ladaria suggested that there was a theology of religions.
Pope John Paul II criticized the theology of Christian religous pluralism. He had the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issue a critical Notification on the book by Fr. Jacques Dupuis sj.
But without the false  premise, there are no exceptions to the Athanasius Creed which says all need Catholic faith for salvation.-Lionel Andrades
