Bishop Peter Libasci assumes invisible people are visible : claims that legally this is being 'Catholic'

The Diocese of Manchester does not have the legal right to call itself Catholic when it assumes unknown cases of the baptism of desire(BOD) are known exceptions to all needing faith and baptism for salvation(Ad Gentes 7).It is the same with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith(CDF),Vatican.

It is a lie and deception for Bishop Peter Libasci, the bishop of Manchester, to suggest that invisible cases of being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) are visible exceptions to EENS, as it is  interpreted by the St.Benedict Center in his diocese.

It is also un-ethical and unprofessional for the lay Chancellor,Diane Quinlin, to indicate that hypothetical cases( BOD, I.I etc) are practical exceptions in 2019 to the SBC position on EENS and so the SBC community members do not have a legal right to call themselves Catholic.

In a court of law this would be seen as deception and subterfuge. This would be a misuse of power.It could be seen as coercion with false information.

This is not being Catholic.

Also Catholics in other  parts of the USA could accuse Bishop Libasci and the CDF Secretaries under secular laws as hiding the truth and then persecuting other Catholics in the diocese.

The Bishop of Manchester and the SBC agree that Vatican Council II supports exclusive salvation and no objective exceptions are mentioned in the Council text.

Also numerous cardinals and bishops affirm Ad Gentes 7  and agree that we cannot know of any objective exceptions to Ad Gentes 7 and Cantate Domino, Council of Florence 1441 on extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This is a fact of life.

So this is the Conciliar Church today.

The SBC knows that AG 7 says all need faith and baptism for salvation and that the bishop, chancellor and Episcopal Vicar  in the Diocese of Manchester agree that they do not know of any exceptions personally.

So Bishop Peter Libasci and the SBC are saying that there are only Catholics in Heaven and they are there with faith and baptism(AG 7) and - that no one at the Chancery offices, or SBC , know of any exception in 2019. This is a Feeneyite reading of Vatican Council II and other Magisterial text.It is a rational approach.

The rest of the Catholic Church would agree with them.

Both groups are affirming Cantate Domino,Council of Florence 1441 which also says that there is exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church and does not mention any exceptions.

So Bishop Peter Libasci  must not assume invisible people are visible and then claim this is being Catholic, legally.

He needs to clarify on the website of the Diocese of Manchester that this is incorrect.
