Like Roberto dei Mattei, Scott Hahn and Ralph Martin, liberals, interpret Vatican Council II with a false premise.Liberals and traditionalists are in the same error. It is because Mattei uses the false premise that he overlooks the liberalism of Martin and Scott.

So Lumen Gentium 16 becomes for them, an exception to the strict interpretation of extra ecclesima nulla salus of St.Thomas Aquinas. 

They do not affirm EENS according to St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine, since there are exceptions. Hypothetical and theoretical cases like LG 16, LG 8 etc are practical exceptions to the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Catholic Church for them.

They  make the same objective mistake as the Letter of the Holy Office 1949(LOHO).It assumed unknown cases of the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance were  objective exceptions to Feeneyite EENS. So LOHO concludes that it is not always necessary to be a member of the Catholic Church contradicting the Athanasius Creed, Syllabus of Errors of Pius IX, the Catechism of Pope Pius X ( 24Q, 27Q).This was the creation of a New Theology, based upon a false premise.It says outside the Church there is salvation. -Lionel Andrades
