There has been no defence of Michael Davis from Daphne McLeod. He was wrong on the issue of other religions and Christian communities. Could he also be wrong on Religious Liberty with reference to Vatican Council II (DH)?
Daphne Mcleod does not deny it.
This same error was made by the SSPX bishops and it is still there in books published by the SSPX in the USA and Italy.
Michael Davis also believed that Dignitatis Humane, Vatican Council II contradicted the traditional teaching on religious liberty. Many traditionalists do not agree with him. Fr. Brian Harrison and New Catholic, the editor at Rorate Caeili are some of them.
(Though Fr.Brian Harrison and New Catholic have made the same error as Michael Davis on the issue of Vatican Council II and extra ecclesiam nulla salus.)
Michael Voris, the Roman Theological Forum and the SSPX have picked up Michael Davis' understanding of Religious Liberty.
False religions have no rights is one of their familiar slogans.
1.Dignitatis Humanae mentions a secular state with a secular Constitution. It refers to other religions having equal rights in such a state.Even the SSPX accepts legally that other religions have equal rights in a secular state.
2.Morally the SSPX bishops and priests affirm that other religions are not paths to salvation and so false religions should not have equal rights as the Catholic Church.They base this affirmation on Tradition which is pre-Vatican Council II.
For me Dignitatis Humane is making an objective observation accepted even by traditionalists as a reality in a secular state.Since Vatican Council II does not contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Council is saying that we have a moral obligation to affirm the dogma on exclusive salvation in only the Catholic Church with no exceptions in 2014.DH itself says Catholics have the right to proclaim their faith.DH also states that it does not contradict any of the traditional teachings on this subject.
The SSPX can review their position on other religions , Christian communities and churches and religious liberty. Since Michael Davis was clearly wrong with reference to extra ecclesiam nulla salus and Vatican Council II.Also his interpretation of Religious Liberty is personal.
He was wrong about Fr.Leonard Feeney.He was wrong in using a false premise in the interpretation of Vatican Council II. He was wrong in assuming that it was liturgy which determines ecclesiology and theology.

YOUTUBE BISHOP RICHARD WILLIAMSON MAKES A DOCTRINAL ERROR
http://eucharistandmission.blogspot.it/2012/08/youtube-bishop-richard-williamson-makes.html
The ambiguity in Vatican Council II comes from assuming that the dead are visible and it is traced to the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 to the Archbishop of Boston
August 8, 2012
Prof. Roberto de Mattei still has to affirm the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus in agreement with Vatican Council II (AG 7, NA 4) -it is related to Religious Liberty

Archbishop Lefebvre was correct in rejecting Vatican Council II(Cushingism version): the Magisterium was not aware of the false premise during the excommunication
So much of the SSPX writings on Vatican Council II are now obsolete with this new finding.
Both SSPX groups are having it out among themself and interpreting Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and Archbishop Gerhard Muller with the Richard Cushing Error http://eucharistandmission.blogspot.it/2013/07/sspx-are-having-it-out-among-themself.html#links
