The Balamand Declaration and the Joint Declaration on Justification with the Lutherans was based upon an irrational premise, inference and conclusion in the interpretation of Vatican Council II, by Cardinal Ratzinger.

 
 

If Vatican Council II was interpreted with the rational premise, inference and conclusion then the Lutherans and Orthodox Christians would be outside the Catholic Church and on the way to Hell. Since there would be nothing in the Council-text to contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church.
