No Statement from SSPX Albano.

 

No Statement from SSPX Albano.

The SSPX at Albano are not going to issue a statement on what I write on this blog and send to them. Since it would bring attention to this subject. They simply have to announce that LG 8,14 and 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to hypothetical cases in 2023. They are not practical exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the Athanasius Creed. The issue here is Vatican Council II. How do you interpret Vatican Council II? Is it a break or continuity with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus ? The main issue here is not EENS.

The SSPX faithful have to believe that Vatican Council II is a break with Tradition. This is the political position of the Vatican and the Left.

The SSPX do not want to be challenged by the Left.

They have stacks of books which interpret Vatican Council II as a break with Tradition. For example, they will complain that LG 16 says a person can be saved in invincible ignorance and there is salvation outside the Church. But this is false. This is their irrational interpretation. Lumen Gentium 16 refers to a hypothetical case. Always. It is always a hypothetical case. This is reality. It is not a practical exception for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This was known to the popes and saints over the centuries.

The mistake was made in the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office and then repeated by Rqahner and Ratzinger at Vatican Councl II.

So if Vatican Council II is interpreted with LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc as all being hypothetical then the Council does not contradict the Athanasius Creed which says all need to be Catholic for salvation.

But if the SSPX Curia interpreted the Council in this way they would be affirming Feeneyite EENS and Tradition. Their priests will be expelled by the SSPX. Since the Jewish Left will protest just as they protested the presence of Bishop Richard Williamson in the SSPX and then in the main line Church.

So the SSPX has to project Vatican Council II as a break with Tradition. They cannot tell Pope Francis to interpret Vatican Council II rationally and so become a traditionalist. Politically it will not be permitted by the Left. So even though the SSPX priests speak of a return to Tradition and affirm Traditionin many aspects, they are denying the faith on this issue. They have the same position on the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance etc, as do the liberals and the Masons.

For them their reputation and status is important as it is for others in the main line Church, who do not want to be expelled as priests and suspended as religious sisters, only for affirming traditional ecclesiocentrism.
