The Italian government must also note that the same irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II is being forced upon Italian Catholics and non Italians studying and working in Italy.
I re-interpret Vatican Council II rationally and traditionally.The two popès could do the same. Even the Catholic political parties in Italy could do the same.
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.I do not create a rupture with Tradition as does the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and popes Benedict and Francis.
