All these years the main line media in the USA and Europe have criticized Lefebvre and Feeney. What will they now do when they discover that Vatican Council II supports the two traditionalists ?

It was not known to Archbishop Lefebvre, Archbishop Thuc and Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston that LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 etc in Vatican Council II referred to only hypothetical cases  and so were not practical exceptions  to Tradition( EENS, Syllabus of Errors, Athanasius Creed etc). Neither was this known to Brother Thomas Augustine MICM and Brother Andre Marie MICM, Superiors of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, at the St. Benedict Centers in the diocese of Worcester and Manchester, USA.Similarly the bishops and their Curia in these two dioceses were also in ignorance.

Also in ignorance was Cardinal Richard Cushing, former Archbishop of Boston as it is the same today with Cardinal Sean O Malley, the present Archbishop of Boston. Also in ignorance are the auxilary and emeritus bishops in Boston and New England.

So Bishop Peter Libasci, bishop of Manchester, Fr. Georges de Laire, Judicial Vicar, Meredith Cook, Chancellor and the rest of the Curia, were as much in ignorance as Archbishop Giacomo Morandi and Archbishop Augustine di Noia, Secretaries of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith(CDF), Vatican.

The CDF and Bishop Libasci  issued a Decree of Precepts and Prohibitions  against Brother Andre Marie  and the St. Benedict Center, NH, for not interpreting Lumen Gentium 16 and the Catechism of the Catholic Church 847-848 ( invincible ignorance)  as being practical exceptions to 16th century extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS).The Decree can still be read on the website of the Diocese of Manchester.

Like Archbishop Lefebvre, Archbishop Thuc and Fr. Leonard Feeney, the CDF and Bishop Libasci did not know that LG 16 etc in Vatican Council II referred to hypothetical cases only.So they were not practical exceptions to  Feeneyite EENS , has held by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary  at the St. Benedict Center, Richmond,New Hampshire.

Bishop Libasci and his Curia are in agreement with what I write here and so also Cardinal Luiz Ladaria sj, Prefect of the CDF. I keep them all informed via e-mail.  

It is possible that they may not want to comment in public.Since they have to maintain the political Left interpretation of Vatican Council II with the false premise.This creates for them and the Left, the needed rupture with Tradition ( Catechism of Pope Pius X, 24Q, 27Q etc ).Without the false premise they would emerge as traditionalists.The whole Church would support Tradition and liberalism would become obsolete.

Similarly Cardinal Sean Malley would not want to interpret Vatican Council II without the false premise and so disappoint the ADL and the liberal rabbis in the USA.
