The theological teachings of the Saint Benedict Center, and the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Richmond, NH, have been declared “unacceptable” by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. As a result, the Slaves, The Saint Benedict Center, The Saint Benedict Center, Inc., and the Immaculate Heart of Mary School, are placed under strict canonical prohibitions and obligations states the website of the Diocese of Manchester, USA.
This is confusing since Brother Andre Marie MICM, the Prior at the St.Benedict Center, interprets Vatican Council II and the Creeds and Catechism without a false premise and inference and this would also be the interpretation of Mary Ellen Mahon Cabinet Secretary for Catholic Formation & Director of Pastoral Ministry Ms. Kelly Goudreau Director of Parish Faith Formation,Rev. Matthew Mason,Director of Vocations in the Diocese of Manchester.
When asked they do not deny the obvious : they say that there are no personally known cases of the BOD, BOB and I.I. They cannot meet or see any one saved outside the Church with BOD, BOB or I.I or as referenced in LG 8, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc.
So they are rational like Brother Andre Marie.
For all of them in the Diocese of Manchester the BOD, BOB and I.I are not examples of known salvation outside the Catholic Church. They are not literal cases of non Catholics saved outside the Church in 2020. They are not practical exceptions to Feeneyite EENS.
The Curia members at Manchester affirm the srict interpretation of EENS with their being no exceptions.
They also affirm Vatican Council II as not being a rupture with Feeneyite EENS.
This is rational.It is common sense.
If for example, Ms. Mary Ellen D'Intino, Bishop's Delegate for Ministerial Conduct ( Child Safety) and Safe Environment, in the diocese of Manchester said that there were visible non Catholics in New England who are saved and in Heaven and they are visible on earth, then something would be wrong here.
For example, in a panel discussion in Manchester, if one of the speakers would say that he is speaking to all situated on the moon, then the others would think there is something wrong. At least for this speaker, his reality, physical and mental, is different from the others seated at the table.
Similarly if Mary Ellen D'Intino said there were visible and literal exceptions to Feeneyite EENS in 2020 her ability to hold a responsible office would be questioned.Since her reality would be different from people in general.
Similarly if the Very Rev. Georges de Laire, Judicial Vicar, Diocese of Manchester indicates that the strict interpretation of EENS has exceptions, then there is something wrong somewhere.
Georges de Laire is also the Vicar for Canonical Affairs and has criticized Brother Andre Marie for his Feeneyite interpretation of EENS and other magisterial documents.
But now we know that Ms. Mary Ellen Mahon Cabinet Secretary for Catholic Formation and Director of Pastoral Ministry, Ms. Kelly Goudreau Director of Parish Faith Formation and Rev. Matthew Mason,Director of Vocations in the Diocese of Manchester interpret EENS like Brother Andre Marie.
The theological teachings of the Saint Benedict Center, and the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Richmond, NH, have been declared “unacceptable” by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith but they are the same as the Curia members and catechists and the priests and religious sisters in the diocese of Manchester.
The Slaves, The Saint Benedict Center, The Saint Benedict Center, Inc., and the Immaculate Heart of Mary School, are placed under strict canonical prohibitions and obligations but the lay catechists and the priests and religous sistes in other congregations of the diocese are exempted.- -Lionel Andrades
With the false premise there are 'objective exceptions' to EENS. There are visible exceptions to the Athanasius Creed, the Nicene Creed is changed, there is a new understanding of the Nicene Creed etc :-
8. Traditional mission based upon exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church is rejected. Since with the false premise, there is salvation outside the Church.
9.Inter faith marriages which are not Sacraments are common held.It is no more adultery. Since the non Catholic spouse could be saved outside the Church it is assumed. A posibility which could only be known to God is assumed to be a practical exception to EENS and a literally known case of salvation outside the Church in a personal case.
10. There is a new heretical ecclesiology at Holy Mass in all the rites and liturgies. The Latin Mass today does not have the same exclusivist ecclesiology of the Tridentine Rite Mass of the missionaries in the 16th century.

FALSE PREMISE DEFINED
Their false premise is:-
1. Invisible people are visible.
2.Unknown case of the baptism of desire, baptism of blood and being saved in invincible ignorance are personally known.
3.The unknown case of the catechumen who desired the baptism of water but dies before he received it and is saved, is a personally known person.
4.There is known salvation outside the Catholic Church for us human beings.
5.We can see people in Heaven saved without the baptism of water.
6.We can physically see non Catholics in Heaven and on earth who are saved without 'faith and baptism'(AG 7).
7.There are non Catholics who are dead- men visible and walking who are saved outside the Church.
8.There are known people in invincible ignorance through no fault of their own, who are saved.
9.There are some Anglicans and Protestants whom we know who are going to Heaven even though they are outside the Catholic Church.
10.There are some non Catholics whom we know, who are dead, and now are in Heaven, even though they were not Catholic.
With the false premise there are 'objective exceptions' to EENS. There are visible exceptions to the Athanasius Creed, the Nicene Creed is changed, there is a new understanding of the Nicene Creed etc :-
1. The Athanasius Creed which says outside the Church there is no salvation is contradicted.
2. The Nicene Creed in which we say, 'I believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins' over the centuries referred to only one known baptism, the baptism of water.The baptism of desire etc cannot be given to someone like the baptism of water.But now the understanding is ' I believe in three or more known baptisms for the forgiveness of sins ( desire,blood and ignorance) and they exclude the baptism of water in the Catholic Church'.
3. The Apostles Creed says ' we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church'. Over the centuries it was understood that the Holy Spirit guided the Catholic Church and taught that there was no salvation outside the Church.Now unknown cases of the baptism of desire, baptism of blood and being saved in invincible ignorance, and LG 8, UR 3, NA2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II, are assumd to be objective examples of salvation outside the Church.
4.In the past three Church Councils defined the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) in the extraordinary Magisterium .It was an 'infallible teaching' for Pope Pius X( Letter of the Holy Offie 1949).Now it is obsolete with their being alleged known salvation outside the Church.
5.Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church are interpreted with the false premise so they become a rupture with EENS( Feeneyite), the Syllabus of Errors, Athanasius Creed etc.
5.Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church are interpreted with the false premise so they become a rupture with EENS( Feeneyite), the Syllabus of Errors, Athanasius Creed etc.
6.With the false premise the Catechism of Pope Pius X contradict itself. It affirms the strict interpretation of EENS while invincible invincible ignorance is intepreted as referring to personally known non Catholics saved outside the Chuch.Invincible ignorance is not seen as a hypothetical case only.
7.Redemptoris Missio, Dominus Iesus, Ecclesia in Asia, Balamand Declaration etc were all written upholding the false premise. They did not support exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church. So in a subtle way they contradicted EENS(Feeneyite), the Athanasius Creed etc. They did not support the past ecclesiology and an ecumenism of return.They are Christological without the traditional ecclesiocentric ecclesiology. It's Christ without the necessity of membership in the Catholic Church for salvation.8. Traditional mission based upon exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church is rejected. Since with the false premise, there is salvation outside the Church.
9.Inter faith marriages which are not Sacraments are common held.It is no more adultery. Since the non Catholic spouse could be saved outside the Church it is assumed. A posibility which could only be known to God is assumed to be a practical exception to EENS and a literally known case of salvation outside the Church in a personal case.
10. There is a new heretical ecclesiology at Holy Mass in all the rites and liturgies. The Latin Mass today does not have the same exclusivist ecclesiology of the Tridentine Rite Mass of the missionaries in the 16th century.
