The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith(CDF) and Bishop Peter Libasci, the bishop of Manchester, USA have interpeted Vatican Council II with a false premise. They did not know that the Council can be interpreted without the irrationality and it would be in harmony with Feeneynite extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS), according to the St.Benedict Center (SBC), in Richmond, New Hampshire.
They made a mistake. There is no correction from them.
Instead they have announced Precepts of Prohibition. 1
The media is still not reporting on it. The Jesuit magazine America , for 55 years interpreted Vatican Council II with the false premise and not without it.This was a mistake. Simcha Fischer , who lives in New Hampshire and writes for America, does not comment on this issue.Also John Allen Jr., Massimo Faggioli, Michael Sean Winters and Joshua McElwee have been informed a long time back.
This is big news.The entire Church made a mistake in Vatican Council II and they can correct the error taking the Church back to the 1930's theology and doctrine on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church.
But there was a hit piece against the St. Benedict Center, in the Catholic Herald, England, under their former editor, which did not review how Vatican Council II does not contradict the strict interpretation of EENS and that the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 made an objective error, when it assumed unknown and invisible cases of the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance, were exceptions to the traditional strict interpretation of EENS.
Similarly Simcha Fischer and her husband have reports on the Internet criticizing the St. Benedict Center and not mentioning the objective error made by Bishop Peter Libasci and the CDF on Vatican Council II and EENS.-Lionel Andrades

What is the status of the Saint Benedict Center and the “Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary”?
The individuals who work and reside at Saint Benedict Center in Richmond, NH, are men and women who have chosen to live in community having adopted and following their own set of rules. Neither Saint Benedict Center, the Immaculate Heart of Mary School, nor the self-referenced “Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary,” enjoy any recognition, canonical or otherwise, in the Universal Roman Catholic Church or in the Diocese of Manchester. They are not a Catholic organization (de facto or otherwise,) nor can they, or should they, present themselves in such a way. The Immaculate Heart of Mary School is not a Catholic School, nor can it, or should it, present itself as such, or imply that it offers an education rooted in Catholic Tradition.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome, in April 2016 and again in October 2016, declared “unacceptable,” therefore erroneous and contrary to Church teachings, the manner with which the Saint Benedict Center and the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary interpret the principle “extra ecclesiam nulla salus,” (outside the Church there is no salvation.) Rome pronounced the matter closed, thus no longer open to dialogue or debate.
In the past, the Bishop of Manchester has granted permission for a priest in good standing to offer ministry at the Saint Benedict Center. This fact was manipulated by the Slaves and the Center to imply support or recognition by the Church. To avoid any further misrepresentation of the status of the Saint Benedict Center and the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, beginning 7 January 2019, Catholic priests are now forbidden to celebrate the Sacraments of the Church at the Center.
Consequently, the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, The Saint Benedict Center, The Saint Benedict Center, Inc., and the Immaculate Heart of Mary School, are placed under strict canonical prohibitions and obligations. It is the most sincere hope of the Bishop of Manchester that all those associated with the Saint Benedict Center and its various entities will rediscover full communion with the See of Peter.
Catholics are not permitted, under any circumstances, to receive the sacraments of the Church at the Saint Benedict Center, Richmond, New Hampshire, and its associated locations, nor should they participate in any activity provided by this group, their school and summer camp.
In his pastoral care for the souls of those who work, live at, or reside near the Saint Benedict Center, the Bishop of Manchester has arranged for the celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass (Latin Mass) at Saint Stanislaus, 80 Richmond St., Winchester, NH 03470, on Sundays at 7:45am.
The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Saint Benedict Center in Still River, MA, is not associated or affiliated with the St. Benedict Center in Richmond, New Hampshire or catholicism.org. They are recognized as a Private Association of the Faithful by the Diocese of Worcester, MA.
