Let
me reiterate that for President Joseph Biden
Lumen Gentium 8, 14, 15, 16 etc, in Vatican Council II refer to hypothetical cases
of non Catholics saved in 1965-2024. In this way he produces alleged exceptions
for the Catholic dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the rest of Tradition.
This is dishonesty. There are no such cases in real life.
For
me Lumen Gentium 8, 14, 15, 16, Unitatis Redintigratio 3, Nostra Aetate 3,
Gaudium ET Spec 22 etc, refer to physically invisible cases. I affirm this but
there is no similar affirmation for President Biden and the U.S State
Department.
So
I am rational and honest while the U.S President is dishonest and irrational.
He may say that he follows Pope Francis and
the U.S cardinals but he is still dishonest and irrational.
This
is what the U.S State Department needs to clarify- that they have a president
who is dishonest and he intends to choose the honest option in future.
There
is no denial from the Pontifical North American Seminary College, Rome and the
American Rector of the University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Rome and neither from
the Paulist Fathers at the St. Patrick’s American Parish, Rome.
There
is no denial from Sister Catherine Droste o.p, the former American Dean of
Theology at the University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Rome – her president chooses
an irrational premise (invisible people are visible, LG 8 refers to a visible
person in 2024) and irrational inference (LG 8 is a visible exception for the
dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the traditional ecclesiocentrism of the
Catholic Church). I choose a rational premise (invisible cases of LG 8 etc are invisible
in 2024) and rational inference (LG 8,14,1,5,16 etc are not exceptions for the
dogma EENS and the rest of Tradition). So our conclusions our different.
Vatican Council II is a rupture with Tradition for President Biden and the U.S
cardinals but it has continuity with the past ecclesoicentrism of the Church
for me.
The
Vatican is abetting the error. They are not correcting the mistake of the U.S
President and neither that of the U.S Federal Education Ministry and
Departments for Religious Affairs. These Government departments interpret
Vatican Council II only irrationally. American children in schools are not
taught the truth about the Catholic Vatican Council II.
