The two different
young foreign priests whom I met this week on Via 20 Settembre understood
immediately what I was saying and agreed with me. They saw that the red
hypothetical passages which referred to physically invisible cases in
1949-2023, could not be practical exceptions for the orthodox blue passages in
Vatican Council II, which support the dogma extra
ecclesiam nulla salus and the past exclusivist ecclesiology.
So the Council
had the hermeneutic of continuity with Tradition for them too. It was too
obvious.
They did
not have to throw out Vatican Council II and neither Tradition. They did not
have to choose from the two.They simply had to interpret the ‘red passages’
rationally and honestly and they were secure within Tradition.
The
religious superiors of these two priests, also would have to agree with them. Since the ‘red passages’ are always only theoretical and speculative. For there to be exceptions
for the Council of Florence and the Fourth Lateran Council on EENS, there would
have to be real cases, known people, saved outside the Church. But we know that
if anyone is saved outside the Catholic Church, it can only be known to God.
Even Pope Francis and all the cardinals cannot physically view any exception in
Heaven or on earth.So there are no exceptions, is the bottom line.
How can
Pope Francis justify homosexual unions in the name of a Vatican Council II, in
which the red hypothetical passages are alleged practical exceptions for the
dogma outside the Church there is no salvation, which has been defined by three
Church Councils ? Invisible cases are visible for him and so there is a New Theology,
which says outside the Church there is known salvation.But if there are no
exceptions then how can there be a New Ecumenism? A new ecclesiology also
depends upon visible exceptions.
How can
Cardinal Arthur Roche support Traditionis
Custode which was based upon the red passages being exceptions for the blue
orthodox passages and the rest of Tradition?
How could
Cardinal Walter Kasper support Amoris
Letitia when the ecclesiology of the Church does not change when ‘the red
is not an exception for the blue’? There is no new ecclesiology in Vatican
Council II, for me.
There is
no liberalism for the Synod-Cardinals Hollerich etc and also for the dubbia
cardinals Burke etc, when they stop interpreting ‘the red as being as exception
for the blue’.
This
would be clear to the two priests I spoke to this week. I told one of them who offers
the Latin Mass and is with the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest,
that Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre made a mistake. He interpreted Vatican Council II as a break with
Tradition. The red was an exception for the blue for him and the SSPX bishops.
For this
priest there was a hermeneutic of continuity with Tradition.
GERMAN THEOLOGICAL JOURNALS
We now know that all the theological journals, Catholic and non Catholic, coming out of Germany still interpret Vatican Council II with ‘the red being an exception for the blue’. Of course, this is ignorance. We cannot blame them. - Lionel Andrades
