1.          Is your interpretation of the baptism of desire subjective and not like that of the Church?

My interpretation of the baptism of desire is rational. There can only be a rational interpretation of BOD, which is always hypothetical and speculative only. It does not refer to a physically visible person saved outside the Church in the present times. There are no objective cases of the baptism of desire. This was known in the Church for centuries. This is common knowledge. The BOD can only refer to a theoretical case and be an expression of good will. It is not a particular person seen or known. This is common sense.  

My interpretation of BOD is Magisterial in the sense it is in harmony with the past Magisterium and I do not use the False Premise ( invisible cases are visible, BOD refers to a visible person saved outside the Church).

The interpretation of the present two popes would be Magisterial when they do not use the False Premise.

They have an option. The False Premise is dishonest.  -Lionel Andrades
