THE HOLY FATHER POPE BENEDICT XVI IS A CUSHINGITE

Our pope is a Cushingite?
 Cushingism says there can be people saved in invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire in the present times and we can know these specific cases. So it contradicts the ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Cantate Domino, Council of Florence).
Cushingism gets its name from the former Cardinal Archbishop of Boston, Richard Cushing.
 A Cushingite says everyone need not enter the Church for salvation. There can be exceptions (invincible ignorance etc).
 Cushinghism is irrational since we can never know cases of persons saved in invincible ignorance or with the baptism of desire. They are known only to God.
Only in principle, as a concept, we can accept that there could be non Catholics saved as such. In reality we can never know any such case.
 Cushingism implies that de facto, in reality, we can know such cases.
Pope Benedict XVI tells Peter Seewald in Light of the World (Ignatius) that there is only one way of salvation not two. i.e. those who are saved are saved by Jesus and the Church.
 Correct, but without a clarification it is Cushingism.
 There is only one way of salvation and everyone needs to enter the Catholic Church  is the centuries-old teaching on extra ecclesiam nulla salus. The pope never says this.
Even if everyone who is saved is saved through Jesus and the Church, everyone with no exception needs to enter the Church for salvation.
 The pope is throwing out Cantate Domino, Council of Florence, Council of Trent, Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7), Dominus Iesus 20 etc.
 The Holy Father then tells Seewald that Jews do not have to convert in the present times.
As Cardinal Ratzinger the people saw Cushingism go unchallenged in the church and the secular media (Reuters, Times etc).
Even today see the errors on the Wikipedia entries on extra ecclesiam nulla salus and Fr. Leonard Feeney. No cardinal or bishop makes the correction on the Internet.
 Pope Benedict has the same position as Wikipedia when they suggest that some persons can be saved in invincible ignorance etc, so everyone does not have to enter the Church for salvation.
 His former German colleague Fr. Hans Kung claimed Vatican Council II (LG 16) rejects the centuries- old dogma.He implied that we can know cases of those saved in invincible ignorance in the present times,. This is irrational but was convenient for the dissident priest.
 Pope John Paul II  it would seem, would want to contain this dissent. In Dominus Iesus 20 he said that though salvation is open for all, to receive it, one needed to enter the Church.
Pope Benedict XVI on the contrary says Jews do not have to convert in the present times and suggests everyone with no exception need not enter the Church .
Note: Cushingites  suggest everyone with no exception so do not have to enter the Catholic Church for salvation. The Feeneyite claims the text of the dogma indicates just that!
So how do you interpret the Catechism of the Catholic Church? With Cushingism or Feeneyism?
Pope Benedict it was reported said the Society of St. Pius X could accept the Catechism of the Catholic Church and they could be accepted, even if they directly did not accept Vatican Council II.
So would they have to accept the Catechism according to Cushingism? Or, according to Feeneyism, in accord with the dogma, Ad Gentes7 and Dominus Iesus 20.
The SSPX is also hit by the Cushingite virus.
CCC 845 is Feeneyism. It says the Church is the only Ark of Salvation  that saves in the Flood and everyone needs to enter it. God the Fathers wants all people to be united in the  Catholic Church.
CCC 846 begins with Cushingism. All salvation comes from Jesus and the Church. It is left vague.
 Then there is a quote from Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II which is Feeneyism. It says everyone needs to enter the Church 'as through a door'. As through a door was the phrase used by the Church Fathers for outside the Church there is no salvation.
This is no problem for the Feeneyite. Since it does not contradict the dogma. That all salvation comes from Jesus and the Church does not contradict the teaching that everyone with no exception needs to enter the  Church to go to Heaven and avoid Hell.The Cushingite of course reads it differently.
Cushingism is a break from Tradition. It’s a new doctrine. Its not part of the Deposit of the Faith.
Always ask a Cushingite if he knows of people saved in invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire in the present times.
Remember this then, next time you meet the pope, who could be a Cushingite  unintionally.-Lionel Andrades
