 If Pope Benedict or a cardinal announced that Vatican Council II could be interpreted without the false premise it will burst the ecumenical bubble of the Lutheran-Catholic Declaration on Justification.It will mean, according to extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) all Lutherans are oriented to Hell and there are no practical exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II. It will also mean that all need Catholic faith and the baptism of water for salvation(AG 7, Vatican Council II) and the baptism of desire(BBOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and invincible ignorance(I.I) are not objective exceptions in 2021, to Ad Gentes 7. BOD, BOB and I.I would also not contradict EENS as it was interpreted during the Middle Ages. Vatican Council II would be in harmony with the Council of Trent.-Lionel Andrades
