When Cardinal John Henry Newman mentioned the development of doctrine he was referring to a development of a doctrine before it was defined. After a doctrine becomes a defined dogma it cannot be developed. It definitely cannot be developed by using a false premise.
There cannot be a New Ecumenism by citing Cardinal Newman and Vatican Council II, since UR 3 ( Decree on Ecumenism) does not contradict the old ecumenism of return and extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).
There cannot be an exception to outside the Church there is no salvation, since LG 8, LG 14 and LG 16 are not exceptions to the old ecclesiocentric ecclesiology of the Catholic Church.
Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald needs to express this reality at talks at PISAI and the Lay Centre of Donna Orsutu in Rome, when he mentions the Islamic religion. There is nothing in Vatican Council II to contradict St.John Bosco and the Salesian and Redemptorist view, over the centuries, on the religion of Mohammad.-Lionel Andrades
