Conservative Catholics could petition the German Government to ask the German Bishops Conference to acknowledge that LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to hypothetical cases only in 2022.

The Government must not allow the bishops to project LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II  as being objective cases in 2022. LG 8 etc must not be projected as known non Catholics saved outside the Catholic Church without Catholic faith and the baptism of water.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider and Dr. Taylor Marshall have said that there are no literal cases of the baptism of desire (LG 14). There are no explicit cases of St. Thomas Aquinas’ implicit baptism of desire (LG 14).The German bishops must be asked to accept this rational interpretation of LG 14 etc.

Presently German Bishops Conference consider LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II as refering to non hypothetical cases in 2022.Then with this false premise they reject the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus according to the Magisterium of the 12 to 16 century. Then they expect Germans to accept and proclaim this irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II in employment, religious vocations, education scholarships etc.This is discrimination. German Catholics must not be obliged to use a False Premise.      -Lionel Andrades
