Like the bishops and priests of the Society of
St. Pius X (SSPX),Terrance Berris, a retired Catholic lawyer in Wisconsin, USA
depends upon a fake premise to interpret Vatican Council II and so create a
rupture with the Athanasius Creed, the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and
the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX.He does not deny this on his blog The
Badger Catholic.
He is supported by Fr. John Kartje, the former Rector of Mundalein Seminary, Chicago and a correspondent of the Badger Catholic.
Berris
uses a false premise to interpret LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in
Vatican Council II. For him these are physically invisible cases in 1965-2021 which he
projects as physically visible examples of salvation outside the Church and so
they become for him, practical exceptions to Feeneyite EENS and the past
ecclesiocentrism of the Catholic Church.
For me
LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc are not a rupture with Tradition
(EENS etc) but for him they are.So to support his irrational use of the false
premise to make the Council a break with Tradition, he cites the SSPX U.S
website Fr. Feeney and Catholic doctrine
Just imagine it! Liberals from Chicago and Mundelein seminary need the SSPX for support with the New Theology. They both use, the New Theology of Rahner and Ratzinger, which has its
foundation on the fake premise.
Terrance Berris and I are in the
same Catholic Church but our Profession of Faith would be different.Since our
premises are different the conclusions too would have to be different.
With the false premise, he the SSPX
and Fr. Kartje are modernists. I am not.
Berris is implying that non
Catholics who are dead and are now in Heaven and also visible on earth to be
exceptions to EENS, the Athanasius Creed etc.How can people be in two places at
the same time?
How can he see people in Heaven and
also on earth for them to be exceptions for the traditional ecclesiocentrism of
the Church.
Yet this is also the reasoning of
other Catholic lawyers e.g John Salza, Chris Ferrara, Christine Niles. When
Ferrara wrote his book EWTN a Network Gone Wrong he did not know that he and the EWTN Management and apologists, were
interpreting Vatican Council II and EENS, with a fake premise which was
officially approved by the popes .
When Christine Niles on the M’ced
Up program for Church Militant TV did a program on extra ecclesiam nulla salus
she made the same error when she quoted the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 and
projected unknown cases of the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance as
being known exceptions to the dogma EENS according to Cantate Domino, Council
of Florence which she quoted on that program.Neither did she or Charles
Coulombe, whom she interviewed on that program say that Vatican Council II and
EENS could be interpreted with the rational premise and so there would be no
rupture with Catholic Tradition( Athanasius Creed etc).-Lionel Andrades
