The Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) is having secret doctrinal talks with the Vatican.They could also clarify their doctrinal position with reference to the Doctrinal Letter of Brother Andre Marie MICM, on the Catholicism.org website.1

The blue passages in magisterial documents affirm the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) and the red passages are not exceptions to the blue passages for the St.Benedict Center.

For the CDF and the SSPX the blue passages in all magisterial documents are contradicted by the red passages  and so they contradict the strict interpretation of the dogma EENS.They are exceptions to the blue passages and to EENS. This is one big doctrinal difference between the two.

So when the Catechism of Pope Pius X says all need to be members of the Catholic Church for salvation and also mentions invincible ignorance, it contradicts itself for the SSPX and the CDF.Since for them it refers to personally known non Catholics in the present times(2019) saved outside the Catholic Church.They would have to be personally known, to be exceptions to EENS.

For the SBC the Catechism of Pope Pius X does not contradict itself. This is clarified in the Letter Explaining St.Benedict Center's Doctrinal Stance.Brother Andre Marie MICM,  mentions invincible ignorance, known only to God and unknown to us in personal cases.

Similarly for the SSPX-CDF,the Catechism of the Catholic Church ( n.1257 Necessity of Baptism) would contradict itself when it says the Church knows of no means to eternal beatitude other than the baptism of water but also says God is not limited to the Sacraments.

For the SBC though there is no contradiction since there are no personally known non Catholics saved outside the visible boundaries of the Catholic Church specifically because 'God is not limited to the Sacraments'.

Can the SSPX interpret Vatican Council II like the SBC?

Vatican Council II is a rupture with EENS for the SSPX since unknown and invisible cases are objective examples of salvation outside the Church. For  Brother Andre Marie MICM, Prior at the St.Benedict Center, N.H,USA there is no rupture with Tradition.


There is no rupture with Tradition  for me too but for Fr. Pier Paulo Petrucci , the former District Superior of the SSPX, Italy there is a rupture.He expressed this error at a conference in Rimini, Italy when he interpreted hypothetical cases referenced in Unitatitis Redintigratio 3, as being exceptions to EENS.Also in two interviews with Italian television he projected Vatican Council II as a rupture with Tradition.He never responded to the many reports I e-mailed him  pointing out this error.

Similarly Fr. Davide Pagliarani, the  Superior General of the SSPX when he was the Rector of the SSPX seminary in Argentina,never directly addressed this issue.

Since for him the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood (BOB) and invincible ignorance (I.I) refer to personally known non Catholics saved outside the Church, the Catechism of Pope Pius X would contradict the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX.

There is no contradiction for the SBC and myself . 
We affirm hypothetical cases of BOD, BOB and I.I  and the strict interpretation of EENS in harmony with Vatican Council II (AG 7) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church ( CCC 846).

Hypothetical cases referred to in the Catechism of the Catholic Church n.847 ( those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church) and CCC n. 848 (  those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel ) cannot be practical exceptions to CCC 846( all need faith and  baptism for salvation).Nor can these unknown cases in CCC 847-848 be exceptions to Ad Gentes 7 and Cantate Domino, Council of Florence 1441.

The Superior General of the SSPX, like the CDF, would be re- interpreting the Nicene Creed. It would now mean, " I believe in three or more known baptisms for the forgiveness of sins(BOD, BOB and I.I ) and they exclude the baptism of water in the Catholic Church.So every one does not need the baptism of water for salvation since there are known examples of salvation outside the Church '. The Profession of Faith based on the Nicene Creed would have a different meaning for the CDF-SSPX and the SBC.

Similarly there would be a split over the Apostles Creed and the Athanasius Creed.

This is doctrinal chaos. The SSPX can now correct their doctrinal position.They can bring out the common error they have with the CDF. This can be done by officially commenting on Brother Andre Marie's Letter Explaining Saint Benedict Center’s Doctrinal Stance.
