Eminent Catholic historian: ‘The Church triumphs when her faithful members fight for her’
In 2014, the International Theological Commission, chaired by
Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, then Prefect of the Congregation for the
Faith, published a study entitled “Sensus fidei in the life of the Church”,[7]which explains that the sensus fidei is
not a reflective knowledge of the mysteries of faith like the knowledge
gained through theology, but a spontaneous intuition, by which the
believer adheres to the true faith or rejects what is opposed to it.[8]The
faith of the faithful, like the doctrine of pastors, is influenced by
the Holy Spirit, and the faithful, through their Christian sense and
profession of faith, contribute to expounding, manifesting and attesting
to Christian truth.
Lionel: Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre interpreted unknown cases of the baptism of desire(BOD),baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) as being known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS). This is a break with the sensus fidei of the popes down the centuries. They acknowledged BOD, BOB and I.I but for them these were only hypothetical cases. They could not be any thing else.
Similarly for Archbishop Lefebvre and Prof. Roberto dei Mattei LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc are exceptions to the Athanasius Creed( outside the Church no salvation), the Syllabus of Errors on an ecumenism of return and the past exclusivist ecclesiology according to the Creeds and Catechism. This is a rupture between faith and reason. How can non existing people be literal and objective exceptions to the past ecclesiology of the Catholic Church? Yet this is the error of the Lefbvrists and it is not being corrected by the speaker.
__________________________________________-
Every baptized member of the faithful has the sensus fidei, and this sensus fidei has
a rational foundation, because the act of faith is, by its very nature,
an act of the intellectual faculty. Today the true notion of faith has
been lost, because it is reduced to sentimental experience, forgetting
that it is an act of reason, which has truth as its object. Fideism was
condemned by the Church. At the First Vatican Council, she instead
defined as dogma the harmony between faith and reason (Denz-H, n. 3017).
Lionel: How can unknown cases of BOD, BOB and I.I be known exceptions to the dogma EENS ? This is a rupture between faith and reason. This is fideism. It is a new theology and new ecclesiology approved by the speaker and the traditionalists of his time.
___________________________________________
Everything that appears irrational and contradictory repels true faith. Therefore, when the sensus fidei highlights
a contrast between certain expressions articulate by ecclesiastical
authorities and the Tradition of the Church, the believer must have
recourse to the good use of logic, enlightened by grace. In such cases,
the believer must reject any ambiguity or counterfeiting of the truth,
relying on the unchangeable Tradition of the Church, which does not
contrast with the Magisterium, but includes it.
Lionel: Exactly, so how can unknown cases of LG 8 etc be practical exceptions to exclusive salvation, as it was known to the missionaries in the 16th century?
Yet Cardinal Muller and Cardinal Burke interpret Vatican Council II as a rupture with Tradition. The Vatican Theological Commission does the same.
__________________________________________
The Vatican Theological Commission stated that: “alerted by their sensus fidei,
individual believers may deny assent even to the teaching of legitimate
pastors if they do not recognise in that teaching the voice of Christ,
the Good Shepherd”[9].
Lionel: Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and the then Fr. Luiz Ladaria sj, approved two papers of the International Theological Commission which considered LG 16 and GS 22 as exceptions to Feeneyite EENS.Is this rational? A new senus fidei?
This error was also repeated by Cardinal Muller and Archbishop Augustine di Noia in an interview with Edward Pentin when they were asked about extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
_________________________________________
For this reason, the sensus fidei can
lead the faithful, in some cases, to refuse their assent to certain
ecclesiastical documents and to place themselves, before the supreme
authorities, in a situation of resistance or apparent disobedience. Such
disobedience is only apparent because in these cases of legitimate
resistance the Gospel principle applies that one must obey God rather
than men (Acts 5: 29).
Confronted with a proposition that contradicts faith or morals, we
have a moral obligation to follow our conscience which opposes it, for
as St. Cardinal Newman says, “conscience is the aboriginal vicar of
Christ.”[10]
Today those who, following their conscience, resist the words or acts
of ecclesiastical authority which diverge from the Tradition of the
Church are sometimes accused of being “enemies of the Pope,” or even
“schismatics.” But these words must be weighed. The most serious faults
for a Catholic are opposition to the doctrine of Christ, or separation
from the Church that Christ founded. In the first case one is heretical,
in the second case one is schismatic.
Lionel: For Prof. Roberto dei Mattei to interpret Vatican Council II as a rupture with EENS and then to not interpret Vatican Council II without the irrational premise is heresy. For him not to affirm Vatican Council II in harmony with the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Catholic Church is heretical. It is a schism on EENS etc with the past popes over the centuries.
It is a schism and heresy shared also by the present two popes and the cardinals and bishops in general. This is a heresy in the Church which is widespread like the Arian heresy of the past.
____________________________________
We are not heretics, for heresy repels us: we believe in the doctrine of Christ as it has been taught always and everywhere.
Lionel: The doctrine of Christ was never separated from exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church with no known exceptions. This was the teaching of the Church until about the 1930's.
____________________________________
We are not schismatics, for schism repels us: we firmly believe in
the papacy, which is today represented by Pope Francis whose supreme
authority we recognize.
Lionel: Whoever the 'we' is, also affirms a heretical interpretation of Vatican Council II which is a rupture with the ecclesiology of the Traditional Latin Mass in the 16th century.There is a break between faith and reason creating a new fantasy theology. There is break with the sensus fidei of the Church. It is a common heresy of the liberals and the traditionalists, who are part of the Cushingite Conciliar Church. I am not one of them.
I affirm the Feeneyite Conciliar Church. I accept Vatican Council II( Feeneyite) which is not a rupture with EENS( Feeneyite) or the Creeds and Catechisms interpreted without the false premise and inference.The speaker can do the same as me even if it means he has to accept some privations. -Lionel Andrades
