The Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate must know that Fr. Serafino Lanzetta, Corrado Gnerre,Roberto dei Mattei and Mons. Brunero Gherardino made a mistake on Vatican Council II.

They projected Vatican Council II as a rupture with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS). So, for them, LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2,GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II, refer to physically visible non Catholic cases in the present times. This is a false premise. Since LG 8 etc are always invisible for us human beings.

Then they assumed that there were visible cases of salvation outside the Church and that these were objective exceptions for the dogma EENS (Fourth Lateran Council 1215).This was an irrational inference. So there was a false premise and a false inference with which they interpreted Vatican Council II.

Then they concluded that Vatican Council II rejected EENS and the past ecclesiocentrism. The Athanasius Creed had become obsolete. It says everyone needs to be a member of the Catholic Church for salvation.

This was the way Pope Benedict and the liberal theologians reasoned and Lanzetta, Gnerre, Mattei and Gherardino followed them. It is the same with the new administration of the FFI, which replaces the Commissar.

Now we have a rational choice. We can interpret LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, as being only theoretical and hypothetical. They exist only in our mind. We cannot meet or see someone saved with the baptism of desire (LG 14) or in invincible ignorance(LG 16) or elements of sanctification and truth in other religion (LG 8), or where someone is saved outside the visible boundaries of the Church, where the true Church ‘subsists’ (LG 8) etc.

So when Vatican Council II is no more a break with Tradition the Council should no more be a problem for the Franciscans of the Immaculate. The Council becomes a problem for the liberals. The Council becomes a problem for the new administration of the FFI. They are now dishonestly interpreting the Council with the fake premise and inference and want everyone to do the same for canonical and official recognition.  -Lionel Andrades
