The Decree of Precepts and Prohibitions still weighs upon the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the St. Benedict Center, Richmond, New Hampshire, USA. It has been placed upon them by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican and the Diocese of Manchester in New Hampshire, USA.
The St.Benedict Center could contact about four or
five heads of secular organizations in New Hampshire, and get simple statements
from them saying that they believe; they hold, that: LG 8, 14, 15, 16, UR 3, NA 2,
GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II always refer to only hypothetical cases for us
human beings. We humans cannot physically see anyone saved as such on earth or
in Heaven. If someone is saved as such it would only be known to God. So they
do not exist in our visible reality.
- Does LG 8, 14, 15, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to physically invisible cases in your reality ?
- Everyone who is asked will agree. Their answer will be Yes.
Then they need to contact a few Superiors of religious
organizations in New Hampshire including that of the CMRI. Again they will
respond with YES.
Some may think , “Yes, of course, this is common sense”.
Then the SBC should inform Bishop Peter Libasci, the
bishop of Manchester in New Hampshire, about the response. Ask him, his
Chancellor and Judicial Vicar, the same question.
Then clarify this issue with the Apostolic Signatura, the Supreme Tribunal at the Vatican. Personally ask the judges the same question.They too will have to answer in the affirmative.
Then ask the secular judges, who are Catholic, in New
Hampshire, the same question and ask them to contact Bishop Peter Libasci. The Decree
of Precepts and Prohibitions is a legal document which places restrictions on
the St. Benedict Center, since the SBC affirms Feeneyite extra ecclesiam nulla
salus(EENS). EENS is in harmony with Vatican Council II interpreted rationally (LG 8,
14, 16 etc are invisible only) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church also
interpreted rationally (CCC 847-848 refer to invisible cases always and so they
do not contradict Feeneyite EENS).
So the theological and philosophical position of the
Bishop of Manchester and Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican, is untenable.
With the Decree they cannot coerce the SBC to interpret Vatican Council II and
the Catechism of the Catholic Church, dishonestly. Instead it is Bishop Libasci
and the Vatican cardinals, bishops and Pope Francis, who must affirm Feeneyite
EENS i.e. EENS according to the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) which did not
mention any exceptions.
The Judiciary in New Hampshire must ask Bishop Libasci
, to clarify that he is normal like
everyone else and cannot physically see non Catholics saved outside the
Catholic Church in the present times (1965-2023).
If the bishop does not affirm Feeneyite EENS, it means
he is projecting invisible cases of LG 8, 14, 15, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, in
Vatican Council II, as being exceptions. There is ‘a development of doctrine’
with the irrational premise (invisible people are visible) and irrational
inference (Vatican Council II has exceptions for traditional EENS) and false
conclusion (Vatican Council II has the hermeneutic of rupture with Tradition).
Instead they bishop must choose the rational premise (invisible cases are invisible, LG 16 refers to an invisible case), rational inference (there are no practical exceptions in Vatican Council II for traditional EENS) and rational and traditional conclusion (Vatican Council II has the hermeneutic of continuity with Tradition).
