If there are four tall boys standing at a bus stop after school and a short one joins them there, he is an exception, since he is different but also because he is there. He is visible. He can be seen standing there. He is known. So it was wrong for the Holy Office 1949 to consider the baptism of desire (BOD) and invincible ignorance(I.I) as being exceptions to Feeneyite EENS, when there are no known cases of the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance in our reality. Similarly it is a mistake for Pope Benedict and Cardinal Ladaria when in two theological papers of the International Theological Commission, Vatican, they considered Lumen Gentium 16 etc as exceptions to Feeneyite EENS.This was a factual mistake.It is a fact of life that there are no BOD, BOB and I.I cases visible to us. If they existed they could only be known to God
