When Catholics understand that according to the Second Vatican Council II the Church is still saying outside the Church there is no salvation, their political concepts change. They realize the importance of the Catholic Faith, as Our Lady showed Alphonse Ratisbonne in Rome.
He became a Catholic priest and founded two missionary communities in the Middle East. Outside the Church there is no known salvation according to Vatican Council II. -Lionel Andrades
Alphonse Ratisbonne saw the beauty of the Catholic religion said Fr. Francesco Trebionda, Parish Priest at the Basilica of Andrea delle Fratte, Rome. He was speaking yesterday evening before the solemn Mass offered by Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco. It was the 177 th anniversary of Our Lady's apparitions at the Altar of the Miracle, to the Jewish financier.
Cardinal Bagnasco said that Ratisbonne was a Jew and he chose to become a Catholic.He was speaking at a basilica full of the faithful.
There were three Masses yesterday evening and the Church was packed, probably it was the same in the morning.
For Ratisbonne there were only Catholics in Heaven and you were either a Catholic or in Hell.
Our Lady didn't tell him to remain a Jew, but to choose her Son, the promised Jewish Messiah, in the religion which is a continuation of the Jewish religion- the Catholic Church.
Ratisbonne knew that everyone must convert into the Catholic Church to avoid Hell, and so he went as a missionary priest to the Middle East. He wanted all Jews and Muslims to discover the beauty he was shown.
Years later at the Altar of the Miracle St. Maximillian Kolbe would offer his first Holy Mass and St. Teresa of Liseux would pray, when she first visited Rome and lived on the street leading to the basilica.
In 1965, Vatican Council II like Ratisbonne, would say all need faith and baptism for salvation(Ad Gentes 7) and in 1994 the Catechism of the Catholic Church would repeat the same message - there are only Catholics in Heaven( CCC 846).Catholics are the new people of God, the new Chosen People (Nostra Aetate 4), they have not rejected the Messiah nor his Mother, conceived without sin.
It is necessary to follow the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church on faith and morals for salvation.
The Bible is Catholic and the Eucharist is the actual Presence of Jesus, which it is necessary to receive to be saved, the Bible tells us( John 6).
Jesus cannot be separated from His Mystical Body the Catholic Church, which is the narrow gate (Matt.7:13),the pearl of great price(Mat.13:45-46), it is Jesus Himself, who identified with the Church during the persecution of Saul.'He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul why do you persecute me?" '.(Acts.9:4)
The Jesus, whom Ratisbonne preached will return again and it will be a pure remnant in the Catholic Church who will welcome him.Her Immaculate Heart will Triumph in the end, even in Rome, after a persecution.
The Catholic Church will once again be evangelical and missionary, with traditional doctrines and theology. The 'dogma of the faith', which Alphonse Ratisbonne defended, will no more be lost.

Alphonse Ratisbonne wanted to know when he could receive baptism, without which he would not know how to live..."
Ratisbonne, Baptism
Hello MHFM,
After re-reading the article on the conversion of Fr. Ratisbonne, it looks like his conversion would refute baptism of desire. Fr. Ratisbonne was given by Our Lady the gift of Infused Knowledge about the Catholic faith.
On page 19 of the testimony of baron de Bussière about Fr. Ratisbonne, who helped his conversion: "Ratisbonne wants to know when he can receive baptism, without which he would not know how to live..."
Fr. Ratisbonne himself said on p. 29 in his own relation about what he learned at the very moment the blessed Mother graced him with the gift: "Alas! So many men... are wrapped in horrible darkness;... and my family, my fiancee, my poor sisters!!!!... It is to you, whom I thought of, whom I love that I gave my first prayers!... the Savior of the world, whose Blood has wiped away the original sin! Oh, how the mark of this stain is hideous! It renders completely unrecognizable the creature which was created in the image of God!... I was asked how I learned those truths because I never opened any religious book..."
Out of all of the knowledge, why was this particularly the one given by Our Lady, and one especially highlighted by the Fr., if it is not the necessity of the baptism itself! Later on, when his baptism was to be delayed, he insisted: "What?! The Jews who heard the apostles' preaching were immediately baptized, and you want to delay mine, after I heard the Queen of Apostles!"
I find that interesting. Thank you for putting the story online!

The Minim priests pretend, with the support of their Superiors,that LG 16, GS 22 etc refer to physically visible people.Then they do not have to affirm the past missionary ecclesiology of Alphonse Ratisbonne, Theodore Ratisbonne, St. Maximillian Kolbe and St. Francis of Paula.
There was the feast of the Miraculous Medal last Wednesday and I found myself kneeling below the statue of St. Maximilian Kolbe, near the Altar of the Miracle, in the Basilica of San Andrea delle Fratte, Rome.The church was full.They prayed the full four Mysteries of the Rosary. All four Mysteries, one after another.They have been doing this on every 27th of the month, at the basilica.
For me it was just like at Medugorje.
After every one of the 20 decades there would be a prayer calling upon Our Lady to help us convert.She was Our Lady of Conversion.
By conversion they meant a change of heart towards God, in all aspects of life.
They could even have meant a conversion into the Catholic Church, to escape Hell, as St. Maximillian Kolbe and Alphonse Ratisbonne would teach.
When there is a true conversion of heart in a non Catholic, he will enter the Catholic Church and remain in it to avoid Hell.
The Gospel of John 3:16-18 says all need to convert to Jesus and into the Church his Mystical Body. Vatican Council II says all need to convert with faith and baptism(AG 7).The Catechisms say all need to convert into the Catholic Church for salvation(1257,845,846)
Alphonse Ratisbonne converted into the Catholic Church and so did his brother Theodore. They became missionaries and priests.
Our Lady showed Alphonse Ratisbonne the beauty and importance of the Catholic Church for the salvation of all people.He converted at that moment, near the Altar of the Miracle in the church, where I was kneeling.
Our Lady did not tell Ratisbonne that he only needed to believe in Jesus and he could remain a Jew.
She showed him the importance of being a member of the Catholic Church.
But for the Minim Fathers, of St. Francis of Paola, at the basilica, every one does not need to convert into the Catholic Church.Invisible cases of LG 16, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II are visible exceptions, to St. Francis of Paola's teaching on there being exclusive salvation in only the Catholic Church.
How can invisible people be visible exceptions to all needing to enter the Church for salvation? I once asked an Italian Minim priest at the basilica.
Where are the people saved in invincible ignorance(LG 16) or with good will(GS 22) outside the Church?, I asked him.
For him too faith and baptism was the norm for salvation. He agreed.But for him there still were practical exceptions to the norm.This was non traditional and irrational for me. He contradicted the Bible( John 3:5, Mark 16:16) and the popes over the centuries.This was not the theology of Catherine Laboure,when Our Lady asked her to have a Miraculous Medal made.
She held the strict interpretation of EENS and she could not see someone saved in invincible ignorance or with good will outside the Church.Physically it was not possible.
So the Minim priests pretend, with the support of their Superiors,that LG 16, GS 22 etc refer to physically visible people.Then they do not have to affirm the past missionary ecclesiology of Alphonse Ratisbonne, Theodore Ratisbonne, St. Maximillian Kolbe and St. Francis of Paula.-Lionel Andrades
