The Tridentine Theology returns at the Latin Mass in Dijon, France, offered by the diocesan priests when they interpret Vatican Council II and other Magisterial Documents with a Rational Premise. This is New Information. We have found the Missing Link. We now know precisely what creates the hermeneutic of continuity or rupture with Tradition. This does not depend upon a new theology or my opinion.

We simply use a Rational Premise to interpret Vatican Council II and then there is a hermeneutic of continuity with the Athanasius Creed, the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX etc.

With this New Information we are back to the old theology at not only the Latin Mass but also the Novus Ordo Mass. There is a unity with the past, on doctrine and theology, at all rites and liturgies.

It is important to note that it is the Rational Premise in the interpretation of Vatican Council II etc, which creates the hermeneutic of continuity with the past and not the Latin Mass.

With the Rational Premise in the interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus ( baptism of desire etc), Vatican Council II, the Creeds and Catechisms, we return to the exclusivist ecclesiology of the Traditional Latin Mass, for example, of the 16^th centuries. Our understanding of Church becomes the same as that of the Jesuits in the Middle Ages.-Lionel Andrades
