Cardinals and bishops who affirm Vatican Council II ( Feeneyite) and not Vatican Council II( Cushingite) would be considered rational and traditional but also politically incorrect with the Left

 Question : What is EENS?

Answer :

EENS = extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

It is Latin for outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation and there are no known exceptions.

Now there is EENS Feeneyite and EENS Cushingite.

EENS Cushingite says outside the Church there is no salvation but there are also known exceptions.This is contradictory but it is the common interpretation in the Church.

EENS Feeneyite is the traditional view held by the popes and saints. It was defined by three Church Councils in the extra ordinary Magisterium.

EENS Cushingite emerged with the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 to the Archbishop of Boston relative to the Jesuit priest Fr. Leonard Feeney.

The Council Fathers at Vatican Council II were influenced by the Letter of the Holy Office(LOHO) and attempted to get rid of EENS Feeneyite at the Council.

So like LOHO they interpreted hypothetical cases as being objective examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church and so they inferred that there were known exceptions to EENS Feeneyite. This was irrational .Their premise was wrong. But it was accepted at Vatican Council II.

Now it is realised that if we do not use the false premise, if we do not mix up what is invisible as being invisible then LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc do not contradict EENS Feeneyite. 

So with Vatican Council II interpreted rationally we are back to EENS as it was known to the Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church and there is no schism with the popes of the past. There is no theological division in the Church.

This now is a problem for the present two popes and the liberals since they cannot quote Vatican Council II any more by using the false premise.

It means there is no theological basis for the New Theology, New Ecumenism, New Ecclesiology and New Evangelisation which were based upon there being salvation outside the Church and objective exceptions to EENS. 

It also means that the cardinals and bishops who affirm Vatican Council II ( Feeneyite) and not Vatican Council II( Cushingite) would be considered rational and traditional but also politically incorrect with the Left.-Lionel Andrades
