Since the Catechism of the Catholic Church(CCC) supports Fr. Leonard Feeney on extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) we have magisterial documents including Vatican Council II saying there are only Catholics in Heaven and outside the Catholic Church there is no personally known salvation.So we are back to traditional Mission and salvation as it was known to St.Robert Bellarmine, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier and St. Peter Faber.This was how it was with St.Francis of Assisi, St.Bonaventure and St. Athony of Padua.The Carmelites Saints Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross also supported exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church.
There are only Catholics in Heaven is the teaching of the Catholic Church ( CCC 846, 1257 etc) when we look at being saved in invincible ignorance, 'through no fault of one's own', as referring to only a theoretical case in 2019,for us humans on earth.
It is Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church which tell us that there are only Catholics in Heaven.It is not only the saints.
This would not be acceptable for Bishop Peter Libasci, the bishop of Manchester, USA and Cardinal Luiz Ladaria sj, Prefect of the CDF.They look at being saved in invincible ignorance as referring to known non Catholics saved outside the Church ; practical exceptions to Feeneyite EENS.If they were not know there would not be exceptions to EENS.
With political pressure from the Left who often represents Satan, the cardinal and bishop sustains division in the Catholic Church.
We now have identified their theology which divides and can correct it.To use a false premise to create a non traditional, heretical and irrational conclusion, would not be the work of the Holy Spirit.So in this sense they are not magisterial.We simply avoid the false premise when we interpret magisterial documents.The Church would then still say that there are only Catholics in Heaven.-Lionel Andrades
