Pontifical universities in new academic year will interpret Vatican Council II differently from me

 Pontifical universities planning to reopen in the fall

In September the new academic year begins at the pontifical universities and they will interpret Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II with the false premise instead of without it. The 

phrase 'made known by the Church's preaching' will be confused as physically visible and known cases instead of invisible and hypothetical cases.So they will conclude that not every one needs to enter the Catholic Church for salvation but only those to whom it has been made known.

 Therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door. Therefore those men cannot be saved, who though aware that God, through Jesus Christ founded the Church as something necessary, still do not wish to enter into it, or to persevere in it."(17) Therefore though God in ways known to Himself can lead those inculpably ignorant of the Gospel to find that faith without which it is impossible to please Him (Heb. 11:6)-Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II

While for me every one needs to enter the Catholic Church for salvation since we do not know who knows or does not know and will be saved.This can only be known to God.

'Therefore all must be converted to Him made known by the Church's preaching' and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body...

When it is marked in blue it refers to a hypothetical and theoretical case and in red to a visible and physically known non Catholic saved outside the Church.

So there are two ways to interpret Ad Gentes 7 and the rest of Vatican Council II. Rationally and irrationally.

So Ad Gentes 7 would read, for me :-

'Therefore all must be converted to Him...and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body...

So in the pontifical and secular universities they will intepret Vatican Council II with the red irrational text. They will use the false premise ( invisible cases are visible) and false inference( they are objective exceptions to EENS, Syllabus and the rest of Tradition.

While I will affirm EENS and Ad Gentes 7. For me invisible cases are not examples of visible salvation outside the Catholic Church.-Lionel Andrades
