I support Tradition by re-interpreting Vatican Council II rationally.

Comment on the blog Vox Cantoris - awaiting approval
Vox,
This is  a comment on doctrine.
This is how I interpret Vatican Council II. Do you have any comments on it.

I re-interpret Vatican Council II rationally and traditionally.

ECUMENISM OF RETURN
Based on Vatican Council II, I affirm an ecumenism of return.Since Ad Gentes 7 says all need to enter the Catholic Church for salvation.

EENS ACCORDING TO THE 16TH CENTURY
Based on Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7) I affirm the strict interpretation of outside the Church there is no salvation. Ad Gentes 7 says all need faith and baptism for salvation. 
7. 
This missionary activity derives its reason from the will of God, "who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Himself a man, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself as a ransom for all" (1 Tim. 2:45), "neither is there salvation in any other" (Acts 4:12).
Therefore, all must be converted to Him...and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door...
By means of this activity, the Mystical Body of Christ unceasingly gathers and directs its forces toward its own growth (cf. Eph. 4:11-16). The members of the Church are impelled to carry on such missionary activity by reason of the love with which they love God and by which they desire to share with all men the spiritual goods of both its life and the life to come.
Finally, by means of this missionary activity, God is fully glorified, provided that men fully and consciously accept His work of salvation, which He has accomplished in Christ.-Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II

PAST ECCLESIOLOGY SUPPORTED
With the  strict interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) and the rational interpretation of  Vatican Council II for me there is only the  past exclusìvist ecclesiology of the Catholic Church based on Ad Gentes 7.
 LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to hypothetical and invisible cases only. So they do not contradict Ad Gentes 7  and  EENS according to the missionaries and Magisterium of the 16th century.

SOCIAL REIGN OF CHRIST THE KING BASED ON AD GENTES 7
So the priority for me would be the Social Reign of Christ the King  since outside the Church there is no salvation(AG 7).

NON SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE BASED ON EENS
I would support the non separation of Church and State since every one needs to be a member of the Catholic Church for salvation (AG 7).

TRADITIONAL MISSION DOCTRINE RETURNS
I support mission programs since Vatican Council II (AG 7) indicates all non Catholics are oriented to Hell unless they enter the Church before death with 'faith and baptism'.Most people die outside the Church and so they are in Hell. The Church is saying in Vatican Council II that most people are in Hell. 

So I support Tradition by re-interpreting Vatican Council II rationally.
