The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary also reject Vatican Council II on the subject of other religions?


The traditionalists Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary have accepted the Jewish Left version of Vatican Council II and are in good standing with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and their local diocese.The Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) has said that they accept 95% of the Council but in general reject the Council as interpreted by the Left.

The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and other traditionalists like the Fraternity of St.Peter have remained silent.A terrible silence.Especially since at the centre of the rejection of Vatican Council II is really the controversy of the Fr.Leonard Feeney case.For the SSPX, Cardinal Richard Cushing who believed that the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance were known exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma on salvation, was not in heresy. The SSPX instead 'condemns' Fr.Leonard Feeney.

For the SSPX the traditional interpretation of the dogma was heresy. While allegedly visible and dead persons were exceptions to every one converting into the Catholic Church was not heresy.

Now for the SSPX implcit to us salvation mentioned in Vatican Council II is an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the rest of Tradition. Vatican Council II becomes a break with the past. But it is a break with the past only because it is alleged that we can see the dead who are real exceptions to the dogma.

The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fr.Leonard Feeney's communities in the USA know that the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance are irrelevant to the literal interpretation of Fr.Leonard Feeney.

They could say that Vatican Council II affirms the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and so is in agreement with the traditional position on other religions.This should at least be their understanding of Vatican Council II.

When will the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary who hold the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and also accept Vatican Council II clarify their position on this issue?-Lionel Andrades
