All Catechesis in the USA has to be approved confidentially by the USCCB Committees, according to their website.1 The video Daily Mass Reflections are also approved by the USCCB and meet their standards. All catechists, it is learnt from the presentations, have not to proclaim the Gospel inviting people to come to Jesus in the Catholic Church.They are allowed to affirm Jesus only without the necessity of the Church. Affirming Jesus with the Catholic Church would violate the norms set by the Chief Rabbi of Israel, the Vatican-Jewish Coordinating Council and the U.S liberal Rabbis monitoring the Catholic Church.It would be missionary and this is prohibited.
Secondly they have to affirm that all salvation mentioned in Vatican Council II is defacto visible to us on earth and so these deceased and visible cases, are explicit exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus .
Catechists are also not allowed to state that the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 made a mistake in assuming that implicit desire and being saved in invincible ignorance are visible to us in real life.So these visible cases were exceptions to the traditional interpretation of the dogma on exclusive salvation.
American catechists are expected to continue this line of thinking when interpreting Vatican Council II, ' a ray of the Truth (NA 2) etc. Being saved with ' a ray of the Truth' refers to personally known cases to Catechists.So they are examples of visible salvation outside the Church. Every one does not need the baptism of water for salvation in 2014 in the USA and abroad.This is the USCCB interpretation for catechetical certification.Approved catechists have to proclaim these errors in the dioceses and enforce them.
For a positive certification from the USSCB American Catholic catechists have to say:-
1.The baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance are not invisible but visible for us and so are exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
2. Catechists have to state that they have personally seen someone saved in invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire in 2014 (otherwise how could they be exceptions?)
3.The Catholic Church magisterium states/infers in magisterial documents,including Vatican Council II, that implicit desire refers to explicit cases,seen in the flesh.
Catechists have to proclaim that magisterial documents state that there are explicit exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus even though catechists cannot name any such document except for the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 issued by Cardinal Marchetti-Selvaggiani,during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII.The Letter of the Holy Office to Archbishop Cushing was not an official Act of the Apostolic See, for it never appeared in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis itself. tThe “source” Denzinger’s compilation gives for the Holy Office Letter is The American Ecclesiastical Review! 2
