Ralph Martin is still talking about the New Evangelisation and will not say that there are only Catholics in Heaven and the the Letter of the Holy Office 1949(LOHO) made an objective mistake. It is the same with Robert Fastiggi at the Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, USA.

Ralph Martin is still talking about the New Evangelisation and will not say that there are only Catholics in Heaven and the the  Letter of the Holy Office 1949(LOHO) made an objective mistake. It is the same with Robert Fastiggi at the Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, USA.

They agree that  we cannot see or meet someone  saved outside the Church in 2019 or the last 50 years.But they will not admit that this was the LOHO mistake.

For Ralph Martin and Robert Fastiggi the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and invincible ignorance(I.I) are not visible people saved outside the Church in 2019. So they are not exceptions to the Syllabus of Errors, the past ecclesiology and an ecumenism of return.

But for the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 , BOD, BOB and I.I are exceptions. This was a mistake. It was an error in reasoning.The same error in reasoning was there among the Council  Fathers at Vatican Council II  e.g Cardinal Cushing and the American Jesuits, Fr. Karl Rahner and Fr. Joseph Ratzinger.

So without the error in LOHO and Vatican Council II the Church is without heresy and schism and there is no New Ecumenism. We are back to the Old Ecclesiology with exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church.

So when there is exclusive salvation and an ecumenism of return the Syllabus of Errors is not contradicted. Neither is the Athanasius Creed contradicted when it affirms exclusive salvation and it is understood that there are only Catholics in Heaven.-Lionel Andrades
