Cardinal Kurt Koch is playing upon the naivety of the traditionalists and sedevacantists.He states that ' “two extreme tendencies” – the progressive and the traditionalist – see the Second Vatican Council as a rupture rather than as “part of the living tradition” of the Church.'This is another straw man argument.
His house of straw projection of Vatican Council II is collapsing since we have found out the simple premise, the irrational link, he uses in the interpretation of Vatican Council II.
He has written a short article in the L'Osservatore Romano and could be as desperate as Cardinal Walter Kaspar, who wrote in the L'Osservatore Romano that Vatican Council II was 'ambigous'.Some traditionalists picked up the bait and agreed with him.
Vatican Council II is not ambiguous since it is in agreement with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. It is also in accord with the Syllabus of Errors on the issue of other religions and Christian communities and churches.
While contrary to his and Cardinal Kaspar's logic, Vatican Council II (LG 16, LG 8, AG 11, UR 3, NA 3 etc) are not exceptions to the Syllabus of Errors, the defined dogma and Ad Gentes 7.
So there is no ambiguity on other religions and ecumenism, unless he assumes we all can can see the dead saved in invincible ignorance (LG 16), elements of sanctification and truth(LG 8) etc who are known exceptions to Tradition.
There are Catholic priests at Albano,Italy (SSPX) and they are waiting for the green signal from their leaders to expose this lie of the dead being visible exceptions to Tradition.
Last month the Dean of Theology of the St.Anselm University,Rome said there were no known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.An American Archbishop and an apologist has said the same.So cardinals Kurt Koch and Walter Kaspar and the Vatican Curia could be aware of their statements.Rather than accept Vatican Council II as being traditional, they could be willing to settle for something less.
Once the people know the truth, it would be difficult for the cardinals to keep saying Vatican Council II is ambiguous or that there can be two views of the Council.
