Every Catholic can affirm ‘the strict interpretation
of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus based upon the rational interpretation
of Vatican Council II.
When I affirm the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus I am supported by the popes, cardinals, bishops and priests who will also interpret Vatican Council rationally like me.
The orthodox passages in
Vatican Council II (AG 7, LG 14) are in line with the dogma EENS, the Athanasius
Creed, the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX and the past exclusivist
ecclesiology of the Church. While ‘the hypothetical passages (baptism of desire,
saved in invincible ignorance, imperfect communion with the Church etc) are not
exceptions for EENS and Ad Gentes 7( all need faith and baptism for salvation) .This is the rational interpretation of the
Council.
So when I affirm the dogma EENS (Fourth Lateran Council 1215) it is based upon Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church interpreted rationally.
This is the only interpretation permissible
for the popes, cardinals, bishops and priests before they offer Holy Mass.Otherwise with the common rational interpretation they change the ecclesiology of the Creeds, whenever the baptism of desire (BOD) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) are mentioned. When the BOD and I.I
refer to visible cases there is a rupture with Tradition and when they refer to
invisible cases they are in harmony with Tradition.
The dogma outside the Church there is no salvation is supported by Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
While the Catechism of Pope Pius X (24Q, 27Q) is in line with Vatican Council II (AG 7)
and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (845,846).
Vatican Council II with orthodox passages (AG 7, LG
14) affirms Feeneyite EENS while ‘the hypothetical passages’ (LG 8, UR 3, NA 2,
GS 22 etc) are not practical exceptions for AG 7 and LG 16 and the Catechism of
the Catholic Church 845,846.
So the Catechisms do
not even contradict themselves.
In the Catechism of Pope Pius X, 24 Q and 27 Q are not
contradicted by 29 Q (invincible ignorance).
In the 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' and when ‘God is not limited to the Sacraments’ it is
known to God only.
The popes, cardinal’s bishops and priests are not
magisterial when they interpret ‘the hypothetical passages’ as being
non-hypothetical, objective and physically visible examples of salvation
outside the Catholic Church. - Lionel Andrades
