The Council has changed

The Council has changed

 There are no practical exceptions in the Council-text for the past ecclesiocentrism. Since LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 etc refer to only hypothetical cases. They are not objective exceptions for Feeneyite EENS. This is Vatican Council II (Rational). LG 8 etc are interpreted with the Rational Premise. The Council has changed.

For the popes Francis and Benedict LG 8 etc are exceptions for 16^th century EENS.They  are visible cases in the present times. The Council is a break with the past ecclesiocentrism.

The popes and I have the same Vatican Council II before us but for me LG 8 etc refer to invisible cases in 2022 and for them they are physically visible examples of non Catholics saved outside the Church.

So the Council which was known over the last 50-plus years has been changed. It is different for me. It has the hermeneutic of continuity with the Athanasius Creed and the Catechism of Pope Pius X ( 24Q, 27Q).Invincible ignorance( 29Q) in that Catechism, is not a practical exception for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. 

When Aquinas mentions the man in the forest in invincible ignorance who will be saved it is not a known case. We do not know any such case in the present times.So it does not contradict the strict interpretion of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus as held by St.Thomas Aquinas.

So even though the Holy Innocents and Abraham and the Good Thief, Dismas, are in Heaven we do not know of any case in the present times saved outside the Church who would be a practical exception for the Athanasius Creed and the dogma EENS.

So though Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre said outside the Church there is no salvation, he accepted the Letter of the Holy Office 1949. It projected unknown cases of the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance as being exceptions for Feeneyite and 16th century EENS.He made the same mistake at Vatican Council II. He did not interpret the Council with the Rational Premise ( invisible cases are invisible in the present times).

So the First Commandment for Catholics, is that there is true worship in only the Catholic Church, after the Resurrection of Jesus and after he founded a Church at the Last Supper, whose Apostles proclaimed and spread it from Pentecost.

Here is St.Augustine in harmony with the Apostles and Vatican Council II (Rational).
