Cushingite Franciscan supports the innovation

 

This is a Cushingite Franciscan. At 4.31 on the video he says invincible ignorance is not a new concept.True. But he has interpreted invincible ignorance as referring to known non Catholics saved outside the Church. This is a new concept.In this way there are exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).
He has interpreted the popes and saints( when they refer to invincible ignorance) as referring to literal cases, known to be saved outside the Church.So the popes and saints become a rupture with traditional EENS, or Feeneyite EENS.
Only in this way does invincible ignorance become an exception to the old concept of outside the Church there is no salvation.
It is only with this innovation that Vatican Council II becomes a rupture with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus as it was interpreted over the centuries.There is also a rupture with the Syllabus of Errors. 
For Cardinal Richard Cushing and the Jesuits of his time hypothetical and invisible cases of being saved in invincible ignorance were exceptions to traditional EENS.
For Fr.Leonard  Feeney and the St.Benedict Center these  were only hypothetical cases and literally there were no such cases personally known.So invincible ignorance, the baptism of desire etc  could not be practical exceptions to traditional EENS.
This is the point this  young Franciscan who is a Cushingite misses out. 
Cushingism is the basis of the New Theology. It creates a hermeneutic of rupture with EENS, Syllabus of Errors, ecumenism of return etc.
Vatican Council II can be interpreted with Cushingism or Feeneyism( according to L.A) and the conclusion will be different.
