Lumen Gentium 14 ( baptism of desire) and Lumen Gentium 16(invincible ignorance ) are mentioned by Wikipedia with reference to Extra ecclesiam nulla salus.It is as if they are practical exceptions

 

Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium, 14: "They could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it, or to remain in it."

  • Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium, 16: ". . .Nor is God far distant from those who in shadows and images seek the unknown God, for it is He who gives to all men life and breath and all things, and as Saviour wills that all men be saved. Those also can attain to salvation who through no fault of their own do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, yet sincerely seek God and moved by grace strive by their deeds to do His will as it is known to them through the dictates of conscience. Nor does Divine Providence deny the helps necessary for salvation to those who, without blame on their part, have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God and with His grace strive to live a good life. . .But often men, deceived by the Evil One, have become vain in their reasonings and have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, serving the creature rather than the Creator. Or some there are who, living and dying in this world without God, are exposed to final despair. . ."

  • NOTE : Lumen Gentium 14 ( baptism of desire) and Lumen Gentium 16(invincible ignorance ) are mentioned by Wikipedia with reference to Extra ecclesiam nulla salus.It is  as if they are practical exceptions.For them to be exceptions the false premise had to be used. With the false premise there is the New Theology. It says outside the Church there is known salvation. Outside the Church there is salvation.-Lionel Andrades
