Now we know how to create the hermeneutic of continuity or rupture with Tradition : the Missing Link has been found

1.’The red is an exception to the blue' for the both of them(Don Pietro Leone and Bishop Roland Minnerath). They both have chosen 

2. 'the right hand side column.' Both of them are using 

3. 'the false premise' instead of 'the rational premise'.

So they were both projecting Vatican Council II as a break with Tradition, when the real fault was their way of looking and interpreting the Council. I,(L.A)  avoid their error and so the Council is not a rupture with Tradition for me.

’1.The red is an exception to the blue'

MAGISTERIAL DOCUMENTS CAN BE INTERPRETED WITH 1)THE RED PASSAGES BEING AN EXCEPTION TO THE BLUE PASSAGES OR WITH 2)THE RED PASSAGES NOT BEING AN EXCEPTION TO THE BLUE PASSAGES.THE LATTER(2) IS RATIONAL. 1

2.'the right hand side column.'

In the following two columns he chooses the false column  and misleads Catholics.

LEFT HAND SIDE                     RIGHT HAND SIDE

implicit  for us             -         explicit for us.

hypothetical                -         known in reality.

invisible                      -          visible in the flesh.

de jure (  in principle) -          de facto ( known in fact).

subjective                   -          objective.  2

3.'the false premise' instead of 'the rational premise'.

.

 

Rational Premise

LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 etc in Vatican Council II refer to physically invisible cases in 1965-2021.They are only hypothetical and theoretical. They exist only in our mind and are not solid bodies at Newton's level of time, space and matter.

Rational Inference

They are not objective examples of salvation outside the Church for us human beings.

Rational Conclusion

Vatican Council II does not contradict EENS as it was interpreted by the Jesuits in the Middle Ages.It does not contradict the strict interpretation of EENS of St. Thomas Aquinas( saved in invincible ignorance is invisible), St. Augustine and Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston.

The Letter of the Holy Office(Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) 1949 made an objective mistake.

THE PASSAGES IN RED ARE HYPOTHETICAL AND SO ARE NOT PRACTICAL EXCEPTIONS FOR THE PASSAGES IN BLUE

Lumen Gentium 14, Vatican Council II

14. This Sacred Council wishes to turn its attention firstly to the Catholic faithful. Basing itself upon Sacred Scripture and Tradition, it teaches that the Church, now sojourning on earth as an exile, is necessary for salvation. Christ, present to us in His Body, which is the Church, is the one Mediator and the unique way of salvation. In explicit terms He Himself affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism(124) and thereby affirmed also the necessity of the Church, for through baptism as through a door men enter the Church. Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by Christ, would refuse to enter or to remain in it, could not be saved.
They are fully incorporated in the society of the Church who, possessing the Spirit of Christ accept her entire system and all the means of salvation given to her, and are united with her as part of her visible bodily structure and through her with Christ, who rules her through the Supreme Pontiff and the bishops. The bonds which bind men to the Church in a visible way are profession of faith, the sacraments, and ecclesiastical government and communion. He is not saved, however, who, though part of the body of the Church, does not persevere in charity. He remains indeed in the bosom of the Church, but, as it were, only in a "bodily" manner and not "in his heart."(12*) All the Church's children should remember that their exalted status is to be attributed not to their own merits but to the special grace of Christ. If they fail moreover to respond to that grace in thought, word and deed, not only shall they not be saved but they will be the more severely judged.(13*)
Catechumens who, moved by the Holy Spirit, seek with explicit intention to be incorporated into the Church are by that very intention joined with her. With love and solicitude Mother Church already embraces them as her own.- Lumen Gentium 14, Vatican Council II

We can choose from the left or right column in our interpretation of Vatican Council II. When Vatican Council refers to salvation in invincible ignorance(LG 16), imperfect communion with the Church(UR 3), seeds of the Word(AG 11), a ray of that Truth which enlightens all men(NA 2) etc would you  interpret it  with the left or right column ?

If you choose the column on the right Vatican Council II contradicts the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS), the Syllabus of Errors and Tradition in general on other religions and Christian communities and churches.There are exceptions known in 2018 to the dogma on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church. It means those who have died on earth and who are saved are physically visible. Since they are visible and known they become exceptions to EENS.This is the inference.

If you choose the column on the left, then Vatican Council II does not contradict the dogma EENS, nor Tradition on salvation for non Catholics and non Christians.We are back to the old understanding of outside the Church there is no salvation.

Most people interpret Vatican Council II with the values of the irrational right hand side column and Pope Benedict does the same.

If the right hand column is chosen  then the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance are  exceptions to the strict interpretation of the dogma EENS according to Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston.

In 2018 the Padre Pio Prayer groups, Neo Cathechumenal Way of Kiko Arguello, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement, all the religious communities(Franciscans, Dominicans, Carmelities), the diocesan priests and the bishops and cardinals  choose the irrational column in the interpretation of Vatican Council II, the Catechism of the Catholic Church  and the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 to the Archbishop of Boston. The priests and professors who teach at the pontifical and secular universities and seminaries in Rome, make the same mistake.

So wide spread is the error and there is no one discussing it .Neither over the years has Pope Benedict issued a correction and apology.-Lionel Andrades

MAGISTERIAL DOCUMENTS CAN BE INTERPRETED WITH 1)THE RED PASSAGES BEING AN EXCEPTION TO THE BLUE PASSAGES OR WITH 2)THE RED PASSAGES NOT BEING AN EXCEPTION TO THE BLUE PASSAGES.THE LATTER(2) IS RATIONAL.

Therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door. Therefore those men cannot be saved, who though aware that God, through Jesus Christ founded the Church as something necessary, still do not wish to enter into it, or to persevere in it." Therefore though God in ways known to Himself can lead those inculpably ignorant of the Gospel to find that faith without which it is impossible to please Him...- Ad Gentes 7. Vatican Council II
