Before the National Catholic Reporter, Crux, Commonweal, the Tablet and Catholic News Service publish reports on Vatican Council II or review books on the Council they are informed that LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to hypothetical cases only in 2019. They are not real and known non Catholics saved outside the Church. So Lumen Gentium does not contradict the past ecclesiology, LG 16 and GS 22 are not practical exceptions to Feeneyite extra ecclesiam nulla salus and there is nothing in Unitatis Redintigratio to contradict an ecumenism of return.
Usually the books and reports interpret Vatican Council II irrationally to create an artifical rupture with Tradition. This has been common among the liberals and Lefebvrists.
