The crisis in the Catholic Church is that Ralph Martin, Scott Hahn and other liberals do not cite the saints and popes on the strict interpretation of the dogma EENS while they cite hypothetical and speculative possibilities, which exist only in our mind, as being practical exceptions to EENS. This is 'a truth of the faith which is in conflict with the culture' and Ralph Martin and Scott Hahn are not proclaiming it

 

 

st.Thomas Aquinas is never quoted affirming the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS).

Inatead he presents hypothetical cases, possibilities as exceptions to the strict interpretation of EENS which he does not cite.

(Time. 29:29) Sometimes people say that is it possible for people to be saved without hearing the Gospel. It is. And the Church clearly teaches that, based on Romans Chapter 1 and Romans Chapter 2. And in Section 16 of the Constitution of the Church this is where the Church lays out its definitive teaching on the possibility of people being saved without hearing the Gospel. We really need to know this. We really need to be clear about this. Because there is so much, so much confusion here.What the Council teaches and what we find in the Catechism of the Catholic Church..it's  posible for people under certain circumstances to be saved without hearing the Gospel.What are those circumstances what are those conditions?Ther's three  of them,one is that people have to be inculpably ignorance ot hearing the Gospel.It's not there own fault that they don't know the path to salvation,.they haven't heard and it hasn't been their own fault that they haven't heard.Now sometimes a lot of us have experienced that we have friends, relatives neighbours....-  Ralph Martin.
