John Henry Weston cites Archbishop Bruno Forte on the Jews and does not himself interpret Vatican Council II rationally which would say that Jews need to convert into the Catholic Church for salvation (AG 7), according to Vatican Council II

 

Archbishop Bruno Forte, like Pope Benedict and others says Jews do not need to convert. The say this based upon Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally and not rationally.

When Vatican Council II is interpreted irrationally then LG 8,LG 14,LG 16, UR 3,NA 2, GS 22 etc, refer to visible and known people, saved outside the Church. They are saved without faith and the baptism of water.So there are alleged practical exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed, the Syllabus of Errors etc. In this way the Vatican Council II becomes a break with the past ecclesiocentrism of the Catholic Church.

So since there is alleged known salvation outside the Church Pope Benedict and Cardinal Kasper would say outside the Church there is known salvation and so Jews can be saved.

Bishop Robert Barron said the same when he quoted Lumen Gentium 16 as being a known case of someone saved outside the Church.

So he told Ben Shapiro that he did not have to convert. He cited Vatican Council II (irrational) openly.He was referring to an exception and that too interpreted irrationally.

For me LG 8 etc refer to hypothetical cases and invisible people in 2023. So LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 etc are not practical exceptions for the dogma EENS, the Athanasius Creed, the Syllabus of Errors etc. The Council, for me, does not contradict the past ecclesiocentrism. The Council in Ad Gentes 7 says all need faith and baptism. This includes the Jews. There are no known exceptions for us human beings in real life. There are no exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II for me.

This is not just a personal opinion.Vatican Council II must only be interpreted rationally. This is the moral thing to do. There is no choice.

So we cannot blame Archbishop Bruno Forte only when John Henry Weston and Mother Miriam interpret Vatican Council II with the irrational and not rational premise.

So I interpret Vatican Council II rationally. If the Jewish Left use the Anti Semitism weapon, its too bad. But this is my Catholic faith in harmony with de fide teachings of the Church. -Lionel Andrades
