Cardinal Michael L. Fitzgerald who is unable to affirm Ad Gentes 7 in Vatican Council II nor interpret the Council rationally for political reasons has been granted an award according to PISAI. 1
A papal nuncio to Egypt and delegate to the Arab League he headed the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue(PCID) from 2002 to 2006.He always interpreted Vatican Council II with the false premise. Pope Francis made him a cardinal last year.
Upon ordination in 1961 he studied Dogmatic Theology( based upon the false premise) at the Jesuit Gregorian University.He attended lectures by Fr.Karl Rahner Sj and Fr.Yves Congar OP who also chose to interpret Vatican Council II with the false premise instead of without it.2
In inter religious dialogue he does not proclaim the necessity of believing in Jesus in the Catholic Church for salvation.
Like the other English bishops, known for their pro-Masonic slant, he proclaims Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour but this does not mean that non Christians cannot be saved outside the Church, for him, even when they do not believe in Jesus.
So there is a vague proclamation of Jesus which accomodates salvation in other Christian communities even when they propose mortal sins of faith( abortion, sodomy etc).
According to Vatican Council II 'the Catholic Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in other religions' (NA 2) but does not consider other religions as paths to salvation(AG 7).The Council Fathers, some of them, accepted the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 which wrongly assumed hypothetical and theoretical possibilities were known examples of salvation outside the Church.So what existed only in their mind were objective exceptions to the strict interpretation of outside the Church there is no salvation.They gave us Nostra Aetate. Without this irrationality, Cardinal Michael L. Fitzgerald would not be able to hold his liberalism on other religions and his rejection of traditional Catholic teachings.-Lionel Andrades
