Bishop Bernard Fellay, Paul Robinson, Fr. David Sherry, Fr.Paul Isaac Franks, Fr.Macfarland, Fr. Wiseman, Fr.Reuter and other priests of the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) to avoid the Anti Semitic label interpret LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, in Vatican Council II as being physically visible examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church, among non Catholics, in 1965-2024.

Bishop Bernard Fellay, Paul Robinson, Fr. David Sherry, Fr.Paul Isaac Franks, Fr.Macfarland, Fr. Wiseman, Fr.Reuter and other priests of the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) to avoid the Anti Semitic label interpret LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, in Vatican Council II as being physically visible examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church, among non Catholics, in 1965-2024.In this way, alleged objective exceptions are produced for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) defined by three Church Councils. These Councils ( Fourth Lateran Council etc) are supported by Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (845, 846, and 1257), when these Magisterial Documents are interpreted rationally.

The SSPX have streamlined Catholic salvation- doctrine, packaged it neat and comfortable, to avoid any tension or persecution for the SSPX. The compromise is being maintained on the SSPX video series Crisis in the Church.

For me, and many other Catholics, LG 8, 14, 15, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to hypothetical cases only. Over the centuries they knew that being saved in the baptism of desire (BOD) and in invincible ignorance (I.I) etc,  refer to only theoretical cases. This was common sense. So the BOD and I.I were not projected as exceptions for the dogma EENS. 

But the  1949 Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII projected BOD and I.I as being exceptions for traditional EENS as held by the St. Benedict Center. The error, confused what is invisible as being visible, was not corrected by the popes from Pius XII to Francis. Bishop Bernard Fellay, Paul Robinson, Fr. David Sherry, Fr.Paul Isaac Franks, Fr.Macfarland, Fr. Wiseman, Fr.Reuter and other priests of the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) also confuse what is invisible as being visible and so are politically correct with the Left and the Vatican.

When I meet a non Catholic, I know that he or she is oriented to Hell, without Catholic faith and the baptism of water, at the time of death. The norm for salvation is faith and baptism and not the BOD and I.I. In general non Catholics are oriented to Hell with mortal sins of faith and baptism on their soul.

Salvation is open to all in general, Jesus died for all but to receieve this salvation all need to enter the Catholic Church as members, with faith and the baptism of water ( Dominus Iesus 20 etc, CDF, Notification on Fr.J.Dupuis by the CDF, during the pontificate of Pope John Paul II).

Bishop Bernard Fellay has expelled so many priests of the SSPX who did not accept Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally, i.e invisible cases of Lumen Gentium 16 for example, were projected being visible exceptions for tradiitonal EENS, traditional ecclesiocesntrism.

Meanwhile Bishop Fellay did not affirm Vatican Council II rational i.e invisible cases of LG 16 are invisible always.

So now there is a doctrinal and theological crisis in the SSPX, as in the rest of the Catholic Church, and among the sedevacantists ( Bishops Sanford, Pirvanus etc) too.No one corrects them to avoid being misunderstood as being Anti Semtic. The video series too is prudent and is not touching this subject. - Lionel Andrades
