There are two important points in my writing

 There are two important points in my writing 1) I cite Ad Gentes 7 ( all need faith and baptism for salvation ) to bring Vatican Council II in harmony with traditional exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church. 2) I interpret LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II, as referring to hypothetical cases only. So they are not objective exceptions to Ad Gentes 7. Neither does Vatican Council II contradict extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS), the Athanasius Creed ( all need Catholic faith for salvation) and the Catechism of of Pope Pius X ( 24Q, 27Q).

The result is that there is no theological opening for the New Ecumenism, New Theology, New Ecclesiology etc since there is no known salvation outside the Church mentioned in Vatican Council II while Ad Gentes 7 is in harmony with the traditional exclusivist ecclesiology. The Church is still ecclesiocentric while remaining Christocentric.

Since we are back to the old ecclesiology, without rejecting Vatican Council II, we can affirm the Social Reign of Christ the King in all political legislation. This is a priority to save souls from going to Hell since outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation.It is necessary that the Catholic Church, in its traditional teachings, and the State not be separated. -Lionel Andrades
