There no more is modernism when we interpret LG 8, 14, 15, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, as being only hypothetical cases. They are invisible cases in 1965-2024. So they do not contradict the past exclusivist ecclesiology. We can affirm Vatican Council II (rational) and the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX and the Athanasius Creed. This is irrelevant of the popes. Doctrine stays constant. There no more is modernism. There no more is a development of doctrine based upon Vatican Council II.

The modernism was there when Vatican Council II is interpreted irrationally and Pope Paul VI did not correct it. The modernism comes from the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston and Pope Pius XII and Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani, let it pass.

But there is no more modernism when we interpret LG 8, 14, 15, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, as being only hypothetical cases. They are invisible cases in 1965-2024. So they do not contradict the past exclusivist ecclesiology.
