Phil Lawler ison the faculty of the Thomas More College of Liberal Arts(TMC),New Hampshire,USA.He holds the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).
A Monsignor in Boston, it was reported a few years back, went to the Catholic book shops and halted the sale of Phil Lawler's book, in the name of unity. He really meant unity with heresy.
It was also reported that Lawler was to speak at the St.Benedict Center, N.H but his talk was cancelled after some people opposed it.
All this was a long time back when it was not known that unknown cases of the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) could not be known examples of salvation outside the Church.So they were not exceptions to the dogma EENS.
LAWLER DOES NOT HAVE TO REJCT EENS OR BOD, BOB AND I.I.
LAWLER DOES NOT HAVE TO REJCT EENS OR BOD, BOB AND I.I.
So Phil Lawler does not have to reject EENS and neither hypothetical cases of BOD, BOB and I.I. Since BOD, BOB and I.I refer to people saved who are now in Heaven.They would only be visible to God.So obviously they cannot be seen on earth for them to be exceptions to EENS.If there are no BOD, BOB and I.I cases in our reality then for us they cannot be practical exceptions to EENS. It is necessary for BOD, BOB and I.I to be visible for them to relevant to EENS.
Secondly, Phil Lawler does not have to reject Vatican Council II to affirm the strict, traditional interpretation of EENS.Since again, hypothetical cases of LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc cannot be exceptions to Feeneyite EENS. The 'living magisterium' made an objective mistake in the Boston Case and at Vatican Council II.
Vatican Council II for Lawler, would not be a rupture with the past exclusivist ecclesiology, an ecumenism of return and the Syllabus of Errors.There is no rupture with EENS, as it was interpreted by the missionaries in the 16th century.
POPE BENEDICT MADE A MISTAKE
POPE BENEDICT MADE A MISTAKE
Pope Benedict ( Avvenire, March 2016) would have made a mistake when he said that EENS was no more like it was for the missionaries in the 16th century.EENS today is like it was for the missionaries in the 16th century since there are no exceptions to EENS in Vatican Council II.
Also for Phil Lawler, Lumen Gentium 8 would not contradict the Church's understanding on an exclusivness and superiority in salvation.So he would differ from Cardinal Luiz Ladaria's irrational and innovative proclamation at the Placut Deo Press Conference( March 1, 2018).
The catechisms are no more a rupture with EENS nor do they contradict themselves, for Phil Lawler, who now would be an example of coherence.
NO CHANGE IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE CREEDS FOR HIM
NO CHANGE IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE CREEDS FOR HIM
Since BOD, BOB and I.I are hypothetical there is no change in the understanding of the Nicene and Apostles Creed for him.The Athanasius Creed would still say there is no salvation outside the Church and this is not contradicted by Vatican Council II.
Meanwhile Pope Benedict, Pope Francis, Cardinal Muller, Cardinal Ranjit and many others have rejected the Syllabus of Errors, he does not have to do the same.The Syllabus of Errors is not contradicted for him by Vatican Council II.
He interprets Vatican Council II differently. Hypothetical cases are just hypothetical.So at this time in Church history he would have a coherent position in theology and doctrine.
It is William Fahey, Amy Fahey, Antony Esolen and the other members of the faculty at TMC who need to correct their incoherent position. They are supporting general heresy by incorretly interpreting BOD, BOB and I.I and then de-railing other doctrines of the Church.
The chaplains at TMC must also note that pastorally, non Catholics are outside the Church and inter-faith marriages cannot be a Sacrament. They are adultery.
We can have good relations with Protestants and work with them on common projects,but it must be recognised that they are outside the Catholic Church, which is Jesus' Mystical Body.
The chaplains also need to affirm the orthodox position on EENS without rejecting Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1994).
So they would have to proclaim, that all non Catholics in the USA, for example, are on the way to Hell in 2018 and there can be no known exception for us human beings.The norm for salvation is faith and baptism( Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II).So mission in the traditional sense is important.
The President of TMC, William Fahey, needs to clarify that their theology and doctrinal position on salvation is Catholic, rational, traditional and non heretical and that it differs from that of Cardinal Sean O'Malley , the Archbishop of Boston and Bishop Peter Anthony Libasci, the bishop of Manchester.
Phil Lawler is orthodox on EENS and Vatican Council II.William Fahey, the TMC President, is irrational, heretical and non Catholic like Cardinal Sean O'Malley and Bishop Peter Anthony Libasci.They are automatically excommunicated for changing the understanding of the Creeds.

Thomas More College of Liberal Arts rejects Catholic Tradition by irrationally interpreting Vatican Council II. This has the approval of the two popes, the political Left and the college accreditors :I support Tradition by re-interpreting Vatican Council II rationally
