Why should the traditionalists interpret Vatican Council II like
the Lefebvrists and not like me ? If they interpret Vatican Council II like I
do, they can still follow the same
Tradition but without rejecting the Council.
But with a rational interpretation of Vatican Council II it
would mean having to reject the New Ecumenism, New Theology, New Ecclesiology
etc. Since with Vatican Council II interpreted rationally there is no known
salvation outside the Catholic Church. The New Ecumenism, for example, assumes
that Unitatius Redintigratio 3 refers to known,visible, seen in the flesh non
Christians saved outside the Church and
so are exceptions for EENS.
With Vatican Council II interpreted rationally, UR 3 is seen as
only a hypothetical case in 1965-2021. So hypothetical cases of LG 8, LG 14, LG
16, UR 3, NA 2 etc do not contradict
the past ecclesiology of the Catholic Church.
DIJONE, FRANCE
So the ‘Latin laity’ in Dijone, France can still go for the
Latin Mass, now offered by the diocesan priests , but interpret Vatican
Council according to Lionel Andrades and
not Bishop Roland Minnerath. Thne there cannot be ‘ a theology of religions’
according to Vatican Council II. They can affirm traditional Catholic Mission
based upon the strict interpretation of EENS which is not contradicted by
Vatican Council II.So there is no theological break with the Catholic Church
over the centuries. Vatican Council II is dogmatic on extra ecclesiam nulla
salus(EENS) and the Syllabus of Errors and supports Tradition.
We now do not have to accept Vatican Council II like Archbishop
Lefebvre and Pope Paul VI. Choose to interpret Vatican Council II like Lionel
Andrades and then the Council is no more a hurdle for traditionalist and
conservative Catholics.-Lionel Andrades
