The Rome Diocesan Missionary Vigil is scheduled for Thursday, October 18 at 8.30 pm in the Basilica of San Giovani in Laterano, during which the missionaries will receive the missionary mandate and will leave within this pastoral year.
The missionaries will not be going out to the Chinese community at Termini, Roma to tell them that the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1257 says that 'the Catholic Church knows of no means to eternal beatitude other than the baptism of water' and that we do not know any one in Rome who will be saved outside the Church, since 'God is not limited to the Sacraments'.
They will not go to the Muslims in the NO GO areas of Cento Caeli,Finocchio and along the route of Metro C to tell them that Vatican Council II, Ad Gentes 7 says all need faith and baptism for salvation.They cannot be saved from Hell without the baptism of water and Catholic Faith.
They will not go to the Gypsies from Romania, the camps of the nomadic people in Rome to tell them that the Catholic Church is like the Ark of Noah that saves in the flood( Catechism of the Catholic Church n.845) and those who are not in it at the time of death will perish forever.
They will not go to the Christian communities in Rome to tell them that they are all outside the Church, Jesus' Mystical Body and that they need Catholic Faith, since Catholics are the new people of God, the Chosen People(Nostra Aetate 4) and that there are only Catholics in Heaven, with faith and baptism(AG 7, LG 14).
Instead the missionaries will carry human aid just like the hospitals and social organisations.They will talk about Jesus just like the Protestants or may be the Jehovah's Witnesses.
What is so special about being a Catholic for them?
The Catholic missionaries do not know that all non Catholics are on the way to Hell and so they need to enter the Catholic Church before they die.The Vicariate in Rome will not tell them about it.
They do not know that there are no exceptions to the old understanding of mission and exclusive salvation, mentioned in Vatican Council II. Not a single exception.LG 8, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2 etc are not exceptions since they refer to only hypothetical and unknown people.
No one has told them that there are no practical exceptions to the old understanding of outside the Church there is no salvation. We cannot meet or see someone in Rome who will be saved outside the Church in invincible ignorance(LG 16) or elements of sanctification and truth in other religions(LG 8)or because they are non Catholics with good will (GS 22) or they have the seeds of the Word(AG 11) or an in imperfect communion with the Church(UR 3).
The missionaries will go to the people with love, mercy and compassion like Mother Teresa of Calcutta but without proclaiming the Catholic Faith as it was known to the missionaries in the 16th century.The doctrines and theology of the Jesuits in the 16th century are not contradicted by Vatican Council II ( Feeneyite) but no one told these missionaries about this.
