Cardinal Robert Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican could answer the question (N.1) and so help clrify what is the theology and ecclesiology of a celebrant-offering Holy Mass in all rites. In this way ecclesiology for all those who offer Holy Mass in any Rite, would be constant the same

 Cardinal Robert Sarah's office could answer one question(N.1). If his answer is YES THEY ARE ALL HYPOTHETICAL CASES, then there is nothing in Vatican Council II to contradict the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) or the Athanasius Creed  which says all need to be Catholic for salvation. This would be the rational reading of th Council-text.

Presently the popes, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and all the cardinals and bishops and priests in general , interpret Vatican Council II irrationally. So they create a false rupture with Feeneyite EENS.

The result is that the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the religious community at the St. Benedict Center, New Hampshire,in the diocese of Manchester,USA are not allowed to have the Traditional Latin Mass at their premises and severe sanctions have been placed upon them for over a year. They hold the strict interpretation of EENS and the accept and interpret Vatican Council II and the Magisterial documents, rationally.

Cardinal Robert Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican could answer the question (N.1) and so help clrify what is the theology  and ecclesiology of a celebrant-offering Holy Mass in all rites.

As a general rule all the bishops should interpret Vatican Council II and EENS rationlly, that is, with alleged exceptions.In this way ecclesiology for all those who offer Holy Mass in any Rite, would be constant the same. -Lionel Andrades.

QUESTION N.1

'Lumen Gentium 8 ( elements of sanctification and truth in other religions which could lead to salvation ), Lumen Gentium 16 ( being saved in invincible ignorance), Lumen Gentium 14( saved with the baptism of desire),Unitatis Redintigratio 3 ( a Christian being saved in imperfect communion with the Catholic Church), Nostra Aetate 2 ( a ray of that truth which enlightens  all men ) and Gaudium et Specs 22 ( being saved in good will) refer to hypothetical, theoretical and speculate  cases,only, always ?

( They are not concrete, real and personally known  non Catholics in 1965-2020.We cannot meet or see someone saved in invincible ignorance, baptism of desire, goodwill etc. ).
