The Catholic New Agency in their political-left report against the St.
Benedict Center has still not clarified that Pope Paul VI interpreted the
baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance and also Vatican Council II- with an Irrational Premise.This could not be Magisterial.The Slaves
of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the St. Benedict Center,New Hampshire
avoid this error with the Rational Premise.So they are being punished by the
Diocese of Manchester and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,
Vatican.
The popes from Pius XII to Paul VI
accepted the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 which employed an Irrational
Premise.In this way it projected the baptism of desire(BOD) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) as being
objective examples of salvation and so practical exceptions for Feeneyite
EENS.The was a break with the previous Magisterium over the centuries which
projected BOD and I.I with the Rational Premise i.e physically invisible cases
and so not explicit exceptions for EENS.
Also Pope Paul VI projected LG
8,14&16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II, as explicit examples
of salvation outside the Church and so visible exceptions for Feeneyite EENS,
the Syllabus of Errors, the Athanasius Creed, the Catechism of Pope Pius X ( 24Q,27Q),
the Catechism of the Council of Trent ( visible cases of ‘the desire therof’
etc).The Council was presented as a rupture with the past ecclesiocentrism of
the Catholic Church. There was no more the past exclusivist ecclesiology. There
were new versions of the Creeds and Catechisms.
But the religious community, Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the St. Benedict Center, NH interpret the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance and Vatican Council II in general, rationally.They choose the the Rational Premise.They are in harmony with the Magisterium over the centuries.They were not irrational like the CDF and the Diocese of Manchester.
The Catholic News Agency states:
The Diocese of Manchester had placed the group under precepts of prohibition, effective Jan. 7, 2019, because of obstinacy in their theological position regarding the principle that there is no salvation outside the Church.
The CNA wants the St. Benedict Center
to use the False Premise to interpret the baptism of desire and being saved in
invincible ignorance and also Vatican Council II ( LG 8 etc). This will be the
acceptable 'theological position'.
The CNA did not contact Brother Andre Marie, MICM, the Prior of the SBC.
The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart appealed the prohibitions to the CDF, but “Rome chose not to consider the appeal,” Fr. Georges de Laire, judicial vicar of the Diocese of Manchester, said, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Fr.Georges de Laire,Judicial Vicar
and the correspondents of the Union Leader New Hampshire in Manchester- Damien
Fischer and Mark Hayward, have all been interpreting Vatican Council II and the
baptism of desire and invincible ignorance with the Fake Premise. Then they
have been calling the SBC a sect for not doing the same.
The St. Benedict Center accepts the baptism of desire.The baptism of desire is always hypothetical and not physically visible. So it is not an issue for them. It does not contradict Feeneyite EENS.
That membership in the Church is necessary for all men for salvation is a truth of revelation; however, actual membership can, in special circumstances, be replaced by a desire, even implicit, for this membership.
When actual membership can be
replaced with a desire, is also a theoretical case.We humans cannot know of any particular case. We cannot say that there were 20 such people last year or 25 the year before. Invisible cases do not contradict
Feeneyite EENS. So it is never was an issue for the SBC.
The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Richmond are not affiliated in any way with the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary located in Still River, Mass. That community, also rooted in an order first founded by Fr. Feeney, was refounded in 1976, and was regularized by the Bishop of Worcester in 2002.
The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in Still
River, Mass, also interpret the baptism of desire and being saved in
invincible ignorance, with the Rational Premise
and so are Feeneyite on EENS. But they re-interpret Vatican Council II
with the common False Premise and have been granted full canonical status.So the Council contradicts Feeneyite EENS for them, as it does for Bishop Robert McManus, the bishop of the diocese of Worcester.
In October 2016 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith wrote to Brother Andre Marie, leader of the group based in Richmond, that the position he retains - that articles from the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Dominus Iesus on the principle ‘outside the Church there is no salvation’ have been given different readings that are contrary to one another, and it is permissible to hold the position that these articles contradict previous Church teaching - is unacceptable.
It was Brother Andre Marie MICM
who clarified that the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Dominus Iesus do
not ‘contradict previous Church teaching’. Since with the Rational Premise, CCC
847-848 ( invincible ignorance) are not visible exceptions for CCC 846( Outside the Church
there is no salvation) or the dogma EENS ( Cantate Domino, Council of Florence
1441).However for the CDF and the Diocese of Manchester, CCC 847-848 it would contradict
de fide teachings.Since with the False Premise employed by the CDF, the BOD and I.I refer to visible examples of salvation outside the
Church.
This reasoning of the CDF is irrational and unethical. It is politically correct with the Left.Catholics in good conscience are not obliged to follow it.
The CNA posted this report without contacting the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in New Hampshire. This was deceptive and political.They have not been responding to appeals for a clarification or correction.-Lionel Andrades
Vatican upholds prohibitions placed on Feeneyite group by
diocese in New Hampshire
Manchester, N.H., Feb 4, 2021 / 09:01 pm MT (CNA).-
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has declined to consider an
appeal by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary located in New Hampshire
against prohibitions placed on them by the Diocese of Manchester.
The group, located in Richmond, N.H.,
about 60 miles southwest of Manchester, has roots in an order originally
founded by Fr. Leonard Feeney.
The Diocese of Manchester had placed the
group under precepts of prohibition, effective Jan. 7, 2019, because of obstinacy
in their theological position regarding the principle that there is no
salvation outside the Church. They were prohibited from referring to themselves
as an association of the faithful in the Church and having sacraments
celebrated at their property, among other things.
The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart
appealed the prohibitions to the CDF, but “Rome chose not to consider the
appeal,” Fr. Georges de Laire, judicial vicar of the Diocese of Manchester,
said, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
“The decision from CDF says that it was
rejected because it fell outside the statute of limitations,” Fr. de Laire
said.
He told the Union Leader that the diocese is “now engaged in an effort to dialogue” with
the group and to encourage them to observe the prohibitions, and that the
diocese has a “complicated relationship” with the Slaves.
Bishop Peter Libasci of Manchester
“remains hopeful that a solution can be identified,” Fr. de Laire said. “The
bishop is committed to the Slaves and their supporters, as they are members of
the Church and he owes them ministry.”
That membership in the Church is necessary
for all men for salvation is a truth of revelation; however, actual membership
can, in special circumstances, be replaced by a desire, even implicit, for this
membership.
The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of
Mary in Richmond are not affiliated in any way with the Slaves of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary located in Still River, Mass. That community, also
rooted in an order first founded by Fr. Feeney, was refounded in 1976, and was
regularized by the Bishop of Worcester in 2002.
In October 2016 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith wrote
to Brother Andre Marie, leader of the group
based in Richmond, that the position he retains - that articles from the
Catechism of the Catholic Church and Dominus Iesus on
the principle ‘outside the Church there is no salvation’ have been given
different readings that are contrary to one another, and it is permissible to
hold the position that these articles contradict previous Church teaching - is
unacceptable.
