Fr.Stefano Visintin OSB, former Rector
and Dean of Theology at the University of St. Anselm, Rome, said there are no
objective cases of people being saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism
of desire.This is mind blowing. So there are no objective exceptions for the
dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus
(EENS), for him. To make matters worse the Italian priest-theologian and physicist
is supported by Archbishop Thomas E. Gullickson, the former Nuncio to
Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The same opinion is held by the American
apologist John Martignoni who features on EWTN.
So Visintin, indicates that Pope Francis is
not apostolic when he uses the fake premise and inference to interpret the
Creeds, Church Councils including Vatican Council II, and the Catechisms
including the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
He is presently the Abbot at the Benedictine Abbey of Praglia, Padova, Italy. He suggests that the College of Cardinals and Cardinal Luiz Ladaria sj, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), Vatican are making the same factual error.
Cardinal
Arthur Roche and the faculty at University of St. Anselm are following the same political theology and so they removed Visintin as Rector and Dean of Theology. Since he would
be saying that Pope Francis closed the Terra Santa seminary of the Franciscans
of the Immaculate in Boccea, Rome and the San Rafael seminary, in Mendoza,
Argentina, while interpreting Vatican Council II irrationally. The pope was also ignoring
the factual mistake in the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office (CDF) to the
Archbishop of Boston (LOHO).
All
the popes from Paul VI to Francis have ignored the 1949 CDF mistake in the LOHO.It was placed in the Denzinger, with the error, and referenced in Vatican
Council II (LG 16).
It
was Pope Pius XII who made a mistake in the 1949 LOHO when he projected
invisible cases of the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible
ignorance, as being visible examples of salvation outside the Church.So he wrongly concluded that they were objective exceptions for Feeneyite EENS based upon the Fourth Lateran Council
(1215) and the Council of Florence (1442).These Councils like the Jesuit Fr. Leonard Feeney, did not mention any
exceptions.
But Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger, as Prefect of the CDF, inserted Pius XII mistake in two
papers of the International Theological Commission. They are Christianity and the World Religions and
The Hope of Salvation for Infants who die
without being Baptized. Fr. Luiz Ladaria sj, an official of the
CDF at that time,approved the mistake.So did the other priests who were employed by the CDF and Ecclesia Dei.
The
seminary’s closure in Argentina resulted in public protests, rosary rallies
outside the residence of the bishop and caravan of cars through other cities of
the diocese. Bishop Taussig who was later removed by Pope Francis, did not know about Fr. Stefano
Visintin’s observation. Pope Francis was making an objective mistake and was
not magisterial or apostolic when he closed down the Argentine seminary which had many
vocations.
With the irrational invisible-people- are -visible confusion Pope Francis was also changing the interpretation of the Nicene and Athanasius Creed.So canonically he has no right to offer Holy Mass until the scandal was removed.Canonically he needs to be a Catholic and affirm Church teachings.
If Taussig had called attention to the mistake in the 1949 Letter, then Pope Francis would have to return
to Tradition.The pope would be labeled a traditionalist. Since there would be no support
for his liberalism in Vatican Council II, interpreted honestly.He would not have any other choice.
Visintin
has reconciled with the developments in the Church.He chooses to remain a professor
of theology at St.Anselm, where the atmosphere is political and not Catholic.–Lionel Andrades

We now have new
information. It is a breakthrough.It is the popes and the Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith who will now be on the defensive, on Vatican Council II.

I am affirming Vatican Council II like Pope Francis and Pope Benedict
but I am interpreting it with the Rational and not Irrational Premise. So our
conclusions are different

Creeds change with the interpretation of the baptism of desire and

Pope Pius XII was a Cushingite and not
Feeneyite in Mystici Corporis. He accepted the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office
which used the Irrational Premise to interpret the baptism of desire and being
saved in invincible ignorance. This was Cushingite and not Feeneyite. Then he
did not support Fr. Leonard Feeney in public. Pius
XII died and did not lift the excommunication

Pope Francis is not Magisterial on Vatican Council
II when he chooses the Irrational Premise to interpret the Council . He is
Magisterial when he interprets Vatican Council II only with the Rational
Premise and Inference

The future of the Catholic
main line Church is Tradition. Since ethically Vatican Council II must only be
interpreted rationally and not irrationally. But when it is interpreted
rationally the conclusion is traditional.

The future
popes, cardinals, bishops, priests, religious sisters and laity in general are
expected to be traditional. Since Vatican Council II can only be interpreted
honestly. The premise has to be rational only. The conclusion is traditional.

The basic issue which I keep
writing about here is philosophical and not theological.

JUNE 22, 2023
The Nicene Creed is
interpreted with the False not the Rational Premise and so the conclusion is
nontraditional, schismatic and heretical. This is official.

Creed has been changed

If Pope Francis rejects the mistake in the
1949 LOHO and re-interprets Vatican Council II rationally he becomes a
traditionalist
