These 10 points indicate that a future pope will be a conservative and not a liberal. The Catholic Church will return to the past. Rome comes back to the Faith. There will be a coherence in theology and doctrine.

1. The pope will have to accept the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) and the Council of Florence (1442), on extra ecclesiam nulla salus,  since Vatican Council II interpreted rationally does not contradict them. The two Councils say outside the Church there is no salvation and do not mention any exceptions. So a pope can only interpret Vatican Council II rationally. This is ethical. He has to affirm EENS like the popes over the centuries.In  Vatican Council II ( AG 7, LG 14) the Church is saying, all Protestants and non Christians are oriented to Hell, without faith and the baptism of water.

2.  The pope has to interpret Vatican Council II with the red passages which mention the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance, not being exceptions for the blue passages which support the past ecclesiocentrism. The red is not an exception for the blue. In this way there is a continuity with the past exclusivist ecclesiology. When the red is a rupture with the blue, there is a break with Tradition.So the pope will have to read the passages in the Council differently.

3.  The pope will have to realize that the Boston Heresy Case refers to the heresy of Pope Pius XII, the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston, Richard Cushing, the Rector of Boston College and the American Jesuits. It does not refer to Fr. Leonard Feeney and the St. Benedict Center of that time, as the media portrays it.

4. There will be no other choice. The pope will have to re-read LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II as not being exceptions for Feeneyite extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS). The 1949 Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston relative to Fr. Leonard Feeney made an objective mistake in the second part of the document. It contradicts the first part, which affirms traditional EENS. The second part does this with a false premise and inference.

5. Non Catholics are oriented to Hell according to Vatican Council II (rational), interpreted with the rational premise and inference. They are oriented to Hell because of original sin and mortal sins committed in this state, with no access to the Sacraments, especially that of Confession to a Catholic priest. They need to convert into the Catholic Church with faith and the baptism of water ( AG 7, LG 14, CCC 845,846 etc).The Catechism  of the Catholic Church 847-848 (invincible ignorance) does not contradict CCC 845-846.This is a new way for a pope to read the Council. It is a break with the popes from Paul VI;

6. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 847-848- invincible ignorance) does not contradict CCC 845-846. It also does not contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the Athanasius Creed.So this is a different way of reading all the Catechisms and Vatican Council II.This is not the political way the  Bishops Conferences today interpret Vatican Council II. In the future the Bishops Conferences will have to interpret Vatican Council II rationally and so also the cardinals. The pope will have to do the same.

7.Vatican Council II ( rational) has a hermeneutic of continuity with the Council of Florence 1442 and Fr. Leonard Feeney and the St. Benedict Center of his time. It does not have this continuity with  Pope Pius XII, the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop, to Cardinal Richard Cushing and the Jesuits at Boston College. Neither has it a continuity today,  with Cardinal Sean O'Malley and his Curia. So the popes can no more interpret Vatican Council II dishonestly. They can no more cite the 1949 LOHO.The books on Vatican Council II based upon the reasoning of the LOHO are now obsolete.People know they have a rational choice.

8. Fr. Leonard Feeney was teaching orthodoxy  ( Council of Florence 1442 etc) and Pope Pius XII un-orthodoxy ( visible cases of BOD and I.I) which contradict the Council of Florence etc.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), was teaching un-orthodoxy (1949 LOHO) and the St. Benedict Center,in 1949 orthodoxy. Today the CDF teaches the same un-orthodoxy and the St. Benedict Center, Richmond, New Hampshire, orthodoxy ( Vatican Council II and EENS are accepted and interpreted rationally). When the CDF chooses to interpret Vatican Council II rationally and so affirm orthodoxy, the pope will have to do the same. The pope can no more support political liberalism in the name of Vatican Council II.

9.The popes have been interpreting Vatican Council II and EENS according to the Jewish Left (ADL etc). The St. Benedict Center, NH interprets Vatican Council II and EENS according to the principles of the Magisterium over the centuries i.e BOD and I.I are always hypothetical only. The norm for salvation is faith and the baptism of water. Exceptions are known only to God.Exceptions do not make the rule etc.The cardinals will have to choose to interpret Vatican Council II and EENS like Brother Andre Marie micm, the Prior at the St. Benedict Center, NH. There will not be any other rational and honest choice.

10. For Pope Benedict, Vatican Council II had a hermeneutic of continuity with Pope Pius XII and the 1949 LOHO. For the St. Benedict Center, New Hampshire and me, Vatican Council II has a hermeneutic of continuity with Fr. Leonard Feeney and the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) and the Council of Florence (1442) and the rest of Tradition.The liberal theology of Pope Benedict is now obsolete. Catholics know they have a choice.They will check a pope or cardinal who interprets Vatican Council II dishonestly. -Lionel Andrades
