You insult my intelligence. The Roman Catholic Church makes the Word of God of no effect through their tradition. You see the faithful whore daughter of Babylon, the Roman Catholic Church’s desire to be all things to all people has an ever widening gate that leads to destruction
For you it would be a contradiction so you have mentioned it.You are looking at this text as a Cushingite.
The liberal theologians in Boston and Baltimore made this mistake. So they would interpret the reference to invincible ignorance in the Catechism of Pope Pius X as being a visible and personally known person saved outside the Church,when really it is a hypothetical case. This was their irrational Cushingite perception.
Similarly they would re-interpret St. Thomas Aquinas' man in the forest in ignorance to whom God sends a preacher , as a known case and so it is posited wrongly as an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus as it was interpreted over the centuries.Likewise we know the case of the catechumen who desired the baptism of water but died before he received it, is a hypothetical case.If there was such a person he would only be known to God. So it is not relevant to the dogma outside the Church there is no salvation. It was made relevant by the liberal theologians, including Rahner and Ratzinger, by assuming invisible people were visible in the present times, and they were saved without the baptism of water in the Catholic Church.
