How can the Gregorian University cite Vatican Council II as a rupture with Tradition and the Jesuits of the 16th century?

Per consultare l'ultimo numero del periodico La Gregoriana
Yesterday I came across a 2017-2018 issue of La Gregoriana, the magazine of the Pontifical University Gregorian, Rome.Nearly  every article mentions Vatican Council II.
But Vatican Council II interpreted rationally supports the old exclusivist ecclesiology with Ad Gentes 7 saying all need faith and baptism for salvation and LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc not being exceptions to AG 7.
The professors and students there would agree with me.
So how can they cite Vatican Council II as a rupture with Tradition and the Jesuits of the 16th century?

Today for many of us, Vatican Council II, has no development of doctrine and supports the ecclesiology of the Syllabus of Errors, Athanasius Creed and the Catechism of Pope Pius X.The  theological basis  for mission is the same as in 1551 when the university was founded.Ad Gentes 7 affirms the old ecclesiolgy and Lumen Gentium and Nostra Aetate do not mention any literal and practical exceptions.

All this was probably realised by correspondents of the National Catholic Reporter, whom I e-mailed. I referred to a report by Michael Sean Winters revewing a book on Vatican Council II, written by a Jesuit.1 I wrote a post mentioning that there are no exceptions in Vatican Council II to Tradition.
LG 8 etc refer to hypothetical cases only. They are not known non Catholics saved outside the Church this year.There is no contradiction or denial from the NCR.
They agree with me. LG 8 etc refers to theoretical cases only in 2019.This is something obvious. They cannot deny it.
The Council does not contradict the traditional Syllabus of Errors i.e most people are oriented to Hell.
The Council says all need faith and baptism for salvation and so mission is needed based on the old ecclesiology and old ecumenism which Vatican Council II supports.
All need to be members of the Catholic Church to avoid Hell.All need to accept Jesus in the Catholic Church as the Jesuits proclaimed in 1551 at this university.
The new evangelisation, new missiology,the new  theology, the Cardinal Bea Center and the Department for Doctrine Theology at the Gregorian,  interpret Vatican Council II  according to the 'old way'.It was the 'old way', with a false premise, that Pope Paul VI and cardinals Ottaviani and Ratzinger, Prefects of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
This is now the old propaganda.
The new ecclesiology is based upon Lumen Gentium being an exception to the past ecclesiology. This is why there is no critical comment and objections to what I write,from the NCR, Crux, Tablet etc and the professors at the Jesuit universities and seminaries.
