Feeneyism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Feeneyism is a Christian doctrine, associated with Leonard Feeney,
which advocates an interpretation of the dogma extra Ecclesiam nulla salus ("outside
the Church there is no salvation") which is that only Catholics can
go to heaven and that only those baptised with
water can go to heaven. Feeneyism opposes the doctrines of baptism of desire and baptism of blood as
well as the view that non-Catholics can go to heaven.
Lionel: False. There are no literal cases of the baptism of desire said
Bishop Athanasius Schneider in an interview with Dr.Taylor Marshall. There are
no explicit cases of St. Thomas Aquinas’ implicit baptism of desire said
Marshall. So the baptism of desire, baptism of blood and being saved in
invincible ignorance would not be known in particular cases, for us human
beings. They can only be known to God. So they never ever were, over the
centuries, objective exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Council
of Florence 1442).

Lionel. For
Cardinal Richard Cushing, the archbishop of Boston, the Jesuits of that time
and Pope Pius XII and the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office, invisible cases of
the baptism of desire were considered visible exceptions for the dogma EENS. So
the 1949 LOHO concluded that not everyone needed to enter the Church for
salvation, as if there were known exceptions in 1949. This is irrational and deceptive.
This is dishonesty. It is not traditional. It is heretical because it rejects
the thrice defined dogma EENS, it rejects the Athanasius Creed by positing nonexistent
cases in the human reality, as practical exceptions for the past
ecclesiocentrism. So with the irrationality the dogma EENS, the Athanasius
Creed, the Syllabus of Errors (ecumenism of return etc) was made obsolete.
Now we know that
Lumen Gentium 16 is not an exception for Feeneyite EENS, the Athanasius Creed
and the Syllabus of Errors. Vatican Council II has continuity with the past
ecclesiocentrism. The Council supports Feeneyism and not Cushing’s. The Council
is Feeneyite.

Leonard Feeney
[edit]
Main
article: Leonard Feeney
Feeney
was a Roman Catholic priest and a member of the Jesuit order.
The order dismissed Feeney in 1949 for disobedience; later, on 4 February 1953,
the Holy Office declared
him excommunicated "on account of
grave disobedience to Church Authority, being unmoved by repeated
warnings".[1][2]
Lionel: The excommunication was lifted by Pope Paul VI after Fr. Leonard Feeney chose to recite the Creed, the Athanasius Creed which says outside the Church there is no salvation.
Doctrine
[edit]
The
doctrine of Feeneyism is associated with the position of Leonard Feeney
(1897–1978), a Jesuit priest
of Boston,
on the doctrine extra Ecclesiam nulla salus.
Feeneyism's interpretation of the doctrine extra Ecclesiam nulla salus ("outside
the Church there is no salvation") is that only Catholics can
go to heaven and that only those baptised with
water can go to heaven. Feeneyism opposes the doctrines of baptism of desire and baptism of blood as
well as the view that non-Catholics can go to heaven.[4][5][6][7]
Lionel: According
to Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II, all need faith and baptism for salvation.
All. So the Council indicates that in Heaven there are only Catholics. Ad
Gentes 7 is placed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church under the title
Outside the Church there is no salvation (CCC 846).
Feeneyism
is considered a heresy by the Catholic Church;
some Catholics refer to Feeneyism as the Boston heresy.[4][5][6]
Lionel : Fr. Leonard Feeney was affirming the traditional, centuries old interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Over the years, it was common knowledge, that there were no objective cases of the baptism of desire. So there were no known practical exceptions for EENS.
_______________
Feeney
rejected what was the definition of the Catholic Church of baptism of desire at
the time, i.e. the idea that people who openly affiliated with the Catholic
Church as well as those spiritually linked to the Catholic Church through an
implicit desire could be saved.[5][6]
Lionel: Those
linked to the Church with an implicit desire and
who are saved are hypothetical and theoretical cases.They can only be known to
God. The Catholic norm for salvation is faith and the baptism of water ( Ad
Gentes 7). The Church is necessary for salvation ( Dominus Iesus 20),
membership in the Church is necessary for salvation, all are oriented to the
Church ( CDF, Notification, Dupuis,2001), other religions are not paths to
salvation ( Catechism of Pope Pius X, 24 Q, 27Q), Catechism of the Catholic
Church 1257( The Necessity of Baptism). The Church knows of no means to eternal
beatitude other than the baptism of water.It is given to adults with Catholic
faith.

Condemnation of
Feeneyism
[edit]
In
a 1949 letter to Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston,
the Holy Office condemned
Feeney's teaching that only those formally baptized in the Catholic Church can
be saved. The Holy Office affirmed that those baptized by their
desire can be saved. This letter was sent by Cardinal Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani to
Cardinal Cushing. This letter stated among other things:[8][9]
Lionel: The 1949 Letter assumes physically invisible cases of the baptism of desire are visible exceptions for Feeneyite EENS in 1949. This bad philosphy.It is an empirical error, an error in observation. It is bad theology. Based upon there being objective exceptions for the dogma EENS, a new theology was created which said outside the Church there is salvation, there is known salvation and so not all needed to enter the Church to be saved from Hell.
The old theology was rejected, even at the schism trial of Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano when
invisible cases of Lumen Gentium 16 were projected as visible exceptions for
Tradition ( EENS etc).
__________
The same in its own degree must be asserted of the
Church, in as far as She is the general help to salvation. Therefore, that one may obtain eternal salvation, it
is not always required that he be incorporated into the Church actually as a
member,( This is heresy. Since there are no known
exceptions of the baptism of desire and here the dogma EENS is being rejected.
The Athanasius Creed is also being
rejected and new versions are created for the Nicene and Apostles Creed) but
it is necessary that at least he be united to Her by desire and longing.
However, this desire need not always be explicit, as it is in catechumens;
but when a person is involved in invincible ignorance God
accepts also an implicit desire, so called because it is included in that good
disposition of soul whereby a person wishes his will to be conformed to the
will of God. These things are clearly taught in that dogmatic letter which was
issued by the Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Pius XII,
on June 29, 1943, On the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ (AAS, Vol. 35, an. 1943, p. 193 ff.). For in
this letter the Sovereign Pontiff clearly distinguishes between those who are
actually incorporated into the Church as members, and those who are united to
the Church only by desire.
— Letter of the Holy Office
This
letter is referenced in a footnote of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in
its section "Outside the Church there is no salvation", paragraph
847,[10] as well as in
a footnote in Lumen gentium.[11]
The 1949 Letter has
an objective and factual error and is referenced in Vatican Council and the
Catechism of the Catholic Church and placed in the Denzinger.It is not
Magisterial. The Holy Spirit cannot make an objective mistake and contradict
the traditional teaching of the Church. This is human error. - Lionel Andrades
