Defending the Faith
Catholics groups coming to
defend the churches do not seem part of the culture in Rome. But Muslims use
their cell phones to call for ‘reinforcements’ at Mass in church. In this way
they enforce Islamic Sharia teachings in the city.In general they have no
problems with Catholics who interpet Vatican Council II irrationally. Since they
are saying like the popes from Pius XII that outside the Church there is known salvation. Visible
salvation. LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 et refer to physically
visible non Catholics saved without Catholic faith and the baptism of water
(AG 7, LG 14).This was the mistake in the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office.It
brought in liberalism. These Catholics are saying that Islamism is also a path
to salvation and Muslims and other religionists do not need to convert. This is
‘submission theology’. These Catholics are considered ‘dimmis’ by the Muslims
here. There is no war with them.
But those Catholics who
interpret Vatican Council II rationally are in harmony with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (
outside the Church there is no salvation).They are saying that LG 8, 14 and 16,
UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc , refer to invisible cases
in 2023. They are not objective examples of
salvation outside the Church. The 1949 Letter of the Holy Office to the
Archbishop of Boston made a mistake. So outside the Church there is no
salvation is still the teaching of the Catholic Church today (AG 7, LG 14, CCC
845, 846, 1257 etc).Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,
Notification on the Jesuit priest Fr. Jacques Dupuis sj, have said that
other religions are not paths to salvation.Their members are oriented to the
Catholic Church. This is the old theology of the Church which is not contradicted
by Vatican Council II interpreted rationally
(LG 16 refers to an invisible person).
When Catholics interpret Vatican
Council II rationally they naturally become
traditionalists, they go back to Tradition. The Catholic Church says today in
Vatican Council II and the Catechisms that in Heaven there are only Catholics.
The Catholic Church is the
Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us.1 Outside the Church there
is no salvation has been the teaching of the Church since the time of the
Apostles. It was there in the Patristic and Medieval period. It is based upon
John 3:5 and Mark 16:16.-Lionel Andrades

The cardinals must be asked to have Sr. Benatti brought back to Rome
When the liberalism of the Synods is criticized Sister Nathalie Bequart
a consultor to the Synod of Bishops and one of its undersecretaries, refers
to the New Ecclesiology of Vatican Council II. She see this as the theological basis for the
Synods since 2019. She is referring to Vatican Council II with the False
Premise. It is only in this way there is a New Ecclesiology and a break with
the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Catholic Church. This is deception.
She is not referring to Vatican Council II interpreted with the Rational
Premise. For then she would have to affirm the Old Theology. This is the issue.
She has to be corrected on this point. No one is discussing this issue.
From 2008 to 2018 she oversaw the National Service for the
Evangelization of Young People and for Vocations (SNEJV) of the Bishops
Conference of France. She was teaching young people in France to interpret
Vatican Council II irrationally.
It is important that Sister Bequart and the French Bishops Conference
ask religious communities and in particular the community Nostra Signora di
Lourdes, to clarify their Catholic faith and explain why Sister Eli Benatti was
asked to return to Brazil. Is upholding Catholic religious beliefs, based upon
the Bible, Vatican Council II (rational) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church
(interpreted rationally), ‘terrorism’? The cardinals must be asked to have Sr.
Benatti brought back to Rome.-Lionel Andrades
