Catholics must appeal to
the Synod voters to interpret Vatican Council II only rationally and ask Pope
Francis and the cardinals and bishops to do the same. It is dishonest to
interpret LG 8,14,15,16,UR 3, NA 2, GS etc, as referring to physically visible
cases in 1965-2023, who are saved outside the Church; without Catholic faith
and the baptism of water. This is irrational. Such cases are
outside our human reality and would only be known to God.
So the liberalism of the
Synod 2023 is obsolete. It has no theological foundation in Vatican Council II
when LG 8, LG 14, LG 15, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, Gs 22 etc, refer to physically
invisible cases, always.
The baptism of desire and
being saved in invincible ignorance never ever were exceptions for Feeneyite
EENS. The 1949 Letter of the Holy Office (CDF/DDF) to the Archbishop of Boston
with reference to Fr. Leonard Feeney made an objective mistake. It confused
what was not there as being there. Then it created a new theology which says
outside the Church there is known salvation, there is visible salvation.
So when Pope Francis chooses to interpret Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church rationally ( LG 16 is an invisible case in 2023),then cardinals Sean O’Malley, Robert McEnroe, Blaise Cupich, Gerhard Muller and all the USCCB bishops must do the same.-Lionel Andrades
