There is the need for Traditional Mission since there
is no denial from Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, the journalists in Rome and
the Faculty of Theology of the University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Rome. They
agree with me. For them too, LG 8, 14, 15, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican
Council II refer to only hypothetical cases, invisible people in 2024. So they
are not practical exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS)
and the rest of Tradition. Vatican Council II is in harmony with the
exclusivist ecclesiology of the Magisterium and missionaries in the Middle
Ages. Everyone needs to enter the Church for salvation and there are no known
exceptions. We cannot say that any particular person will go to Heaven with the
baptism of desire or in invincible ignorance and without Catholic faith and the
baptism of water (AG 7).
So there has to be an outreach to non Catholics
asking, or telling them, to enter the Catholic Church to save their soul from
the fires of Hell.
Vatican Council II tells us that the majority of non
Catholics today are on the way to Hell without faith and baptism (AG 7, LG 14).
They must know this. The Bible (John 3:5, Marl 16:16) and the popes over the
century have had the same message. In Heaven there are only Catholics (AG 7, LG
14, CCC 845, 846, Athanasius Creed etc), who are there without mortal sin on
their soul.
Since there is exclusive salvation in only the
Catholic Church why do the Jehovah Witnesses, I ask myself, knock on doors and
have Bible stalls on the streets of Rome?
Where are the Catholic street evangelizers and Bible-sharers?
Where are the street preachers?
Pope John Paul II said other religions have
superstition, errors and deficiencies (Dominus Iesus).The orthodox Christians
are not to be given the Eucharist at the Catholic Mass (Ecclesia di
Eucarestia).
Mission means going to non Catholics and telling them
about the Catholic Church and the need to accept Jesus in the Catholic Church
for salvation from Hell. It is choosing to die for Jesus and His Mystical Body
the Church as a martyr, like St. Sebastian, whose feast was celebrated the
other day.
It means asking non Catholics to give up their
religion and follow traditional Catholicism which has not been affected by
Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally.
The missionary magazine Christ to the World (Christo
al Mondo) has still been banned by the Rome Vicariate. The Franciscans of the
Immaculate are not allowed to distribute it freely among Catholics. Fr. Stefano
Manelli f.i., the founder of the Franciscans of the) Immaculate has said that
Padre Pio has said that Martin Luther is in Hell and those Catholics who follow
him will also go there.
The Rome Vicariate has joint mission projects with
other Christian denominations which is political and heretical. It is schism
with the past Magisterium over the centuries.
The Neo Catechumenal Way (NCW) today must return to
Traditional Mission now that the way is open with Vatican Council II,
interpreted rationally. This is a discovery in the Church.
The NCW in their catechesis must tell families going
on mission that outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation.
Presently the Rome Vicariate and the NYC Responsibles are unethical, when Christian denominations are not informed about this. It is
dishonest to interpret LG 8, 14, 15, 16,UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, as being
physically visible examples of salvation outside the Church, which make the
dogma EENS obsolete, and so there is the possibility of having a New Evangelization,
New Ecumenism and New Theology which says outside the Church there is
salvation.
The theologians at the Ecclesia Mater, Rome Vicariate
and the Auxiliary Bishops of Rome would agree-that LG 8, 14, 15, 16 etc, refer
to hypothetical cases, invisible people in 2024.But the joint ecumenical
mission projects at the Basilica of St. John Lateran, are based upon LG 8,14,15,16 etc referring to known non Catholics
saved outside the Catholic Church, in particular cases. They are saved outside
the Church and so the past ecclesiocentrism is made obsolete and other
Christian religions are considered ways of salvation equal to the Catholic
Church.This is now obsolete. We can go forward by interpreting Vatican Council II rationally. We return to Traditional Mission, not because I am saying so or that this is a personal belief, but because this is the teaching of Vatican Council II when it is interpreted rationally.
