We have returned to the old lex orandi, lex credendi. Even Andrea Grillo in Rome has to go for the Novus Ordo Mass with the old theology. There is no other rational choice. Massimo Faggioli knows there is no way out

Rabbi  David Rosen must respect Catholic beliefs and not interpret Vatican Council II with a Fake Premise and force Pope Francis to do the same.

At a talk in Rome the other day, Rosen and Gavin D’costa, were expected to interpret Vatican Council II without the Rational Premise (invisible people are invisible in 2022). This would place Vatican Council II (Rational) in harmony with the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX. There would be no practical exceptions for the Syllabus in the text of the Council( Rational).There would be no exceptions for an ecumenism of return and the need for all non Christians  to be members of the Catholic Church for salvation ( Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II).Vatican Council II interpreted rationally would say that Jews need to convert into the Catholic Church, with ‘faith and baptism’( Ad Gentes 7,Lumen Gentium 14, Vatican Council II) for salvation ( to avoid the fires of Hell).

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (845, 846, 1257 etc) is in line with the Catechism of Pope Pius X (24Q, 27Q), on outside the Church there is no salvation. It cites Vatican Council II ( AG 7/CCC 846).Being saved in invincible ignorance (I.I), the baptism of desire(BOD) and the baptism of blood(BOB), without the baptism of water, always refers to hypothetical and invisible cases in 1965-2022.They never ever were practical exceptions for Vatican Council II ( AG 7, LG 14).

So there cannot be a Jewish Left-Catholic Left dialogue with both sides using a False Premise (invisible people physically visible in 2022) to interpret Vatican Council II and I.I, BOD and BOB. It produces a False Rupture with traditional Catholic ecclesiology.

The Catholic Church is missionary (AG 7, LG 14) since all non Catholics are oriented to Hell at the time of death without faith and baptism, and there are no known exceptions. As long as they live on earth there is hope. We cannot change the teachings of Jesus in the Catholic Church, as Gavin D’Costa, tried in his book on Vatican Council II (Irrational). He depended upon the False Premise. So the result was the heresy and schism of the liberals. It was a rupture with de fide teachings of the Church. These traditional teachings are not welcome for the Jewish Left and Satan.

Jewish Left rabbis must not tell Catholics to give up Catholic mission since then there will be criminal charges brought against them, and also the Vatican. So what if criminal charges are brought against them when they affirm their Catholic Faith?

It was reported in the daily Avvenire a few years back, when this newspaper was not under the control of the Left, that rabbis Segno and Lara, visited the Vatican offices  and warned them all to give up Catholic Mission. Along with members of the B’nai B’rith, they did the same at the Pontifical Urbaniana University, in Rome. The faculty, along with Sandra Mazzolini, have to interpret Vatican Council II with the Fake and not Rational Premise. Then students have to accept a break with the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis too has to call the past ecclesiology of the Catholic Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, as being rigid. He cannot freely affirm it.

Rabbi Rosen visits Rome, after an emergency meeting was held in Chicago, last month with cardinals Sean O’Malley, Oscar Maradiaga and Blaise Cupich, present. The Boston Heresy of Cardinal Richard Cushing, the former archbishop of Boston, surfaced. It was inevitable.

Cardinal O’Malley who for years has been saying on the archdiocese of Boston website that Jews do not need to convert into the Catholic Church for salvation, now has discovered Vatican Council II (Rational).It means all the priests in the USA at the Novus Ordo Mass can affirm the Syllabus of Errors (with no exceptions) and Feeneyite extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS).Since there are no practical exceptions in the text of the Council, when it is interpreted rationally. Nostra Aetate does not contradict Ad Gentes.Cushing, and not Leonard Feeney used the False Premise to interpret BOD, BOB and I.I. It was Boston College which was irrational and not the St. Benedict Center.

The direct issue now is Vatican Council II and not EENS. Lumen Gentium does not contradict Ad Gentes 7 and the dogma outside the Church there is no salvation as it was held by the Jesuit missionaries in the Middle Ages. So Bishop Robert Barron can no more tell the orthodox Jew, Ben Shapiro, who opposes the Jewish Left, that Lumen Gentium 16 ( invincible ignorance) is an exception for the Syllabus of Errors, the Athanasius Creed and other Magisterial Documents, guided by the Holy Spirit, which Barron denied before Shapiro.

This is still the mistake of Gavin D’Costa, and the present Jesuit authors on Vatican Council II (Irrational and not Rational). Cardinal Kurt Koch, Archbishop Arthur Roche and Archbishop Bruno Forte make the same error as Rabbi Rosen and the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. They must correct the intellectual mistake.

With the Rational Premise ( invisible cases referred to in Lumen Gentium 16 are physically invisible in 2022), all the Catholic priests can affirm the Syllabus of Errors and the Athanasius Creed at Holy  Mass in all rites and languages. All new religious vocations can do the same. This is a return of the old theology which is in harmony with the Roman Missal (1580) which Cardinal Angelo Donatis has banned with the Latin Mass, for the Easter Triduum next week in Rome. But Vatican Council II (Rational) is not a theological break with the Good Friday Prayer for the Conversion of the Jews. So this Good Friday, Catholics would still be following Jesus and not the ADL and their principal reference will be Vatican Council II ( Rational).Vatican Council ( Irrational) can no more be cited to suggest that there is ‘a revolution’ in the Church; there are ‘the reforms’ of Vatican Council II ( Rational), as Reuters and the Associated Press, call it.

Like the ADL, Cardinal O’Malley and Cardinal Cupich do not want all priests in the USA to offer the Novus Ordo and Latin Mass, while affirming the Syllabus of Errors. But at the meeting of the pro-Jewish Left, 70 cardinals, bishops and liberal theologians in Chicago, there was no way out, no solution. Even Massimo Faggioli realized this. With Vatican Council II (Rational) the Catholic Church returns to the past theology and there is nothing he can do about it. It is the end of division created with liberalism which has its bad foundation upon the Fake Premise ( Lumen Gentium 16 refers to visible cases in the present times).The Church has returned to the theology of St.Maximillian Kolbe in the 1930’s.Even Andrea Grillo in Rome has to go for the Novus Ordo Mass with the old theology. There is no other rational choice. We have returned to the old lex orandi, lex credendi.
