I accept Vatican Council II as a legitimate Council for me. The Council supports the strict interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) and the rest of Tradition. I interpret LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA2, GS 22 etc, as being only hypothetical.

 

I accept Vatican Council II as a legitimate Council. The Council supports the strict interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) and the rest of Tradition. I interpret LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA2, GS 22 etc, in Vatican Council II, as being only hypothetical. They cannot be objective examples of salvation for us humans in 2023.So Vatican Council Ii supports Tradition. It has the hermeneutic of continuity with the Syllabus of Errors and the Catechisms of Trent and Pius X. The ecclesiology of the Church, before and after Vatican Council II is the same. There is no new revelation or development of doctrine and dogma, when LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to speculative cases only.Speculative cases cannot be objective exceptions for the past ecclesiocentrism of the Catholic Church. They are not practical exceptions for the Athanasius Creed and the Great Commission.- Lionel Andrades
