Archbishop
Bruno Forte, like Pope Benedict and others says Jews do not need to convert.
The say this based upon Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally and not
rationally.
When Vatican
Council II is interpreted irrationally then LG 8,LG 14,LG 16, UR 3,NA 2, GS 22
etc, refer to visible and known people, saved outside the Church. They are
saved without faith and the baptism of water.So there are alleged practical
exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed, the
Syllabus of Errors etc. In this way the Vatican Council II becomes a break with
the past ecclesiocentrism of the Catholic Church.
So since
there is alleged known salvation outside the Church Pope Benedict and Cardinal
Kasper would say outside the Church there is known salvation and so Jews can be
saved.
Bishop Robert
Barron said the same when he quoted Lumen Gentium 16 as being a known case of
someone saved outside the Church.
So he told
Ben Shapiro that he did not have to convert. He cited Vatican Council II (irrational)
openly.He was referring to an exception and that too interpreted irrationally.
For me LG 8
etc refer to hypothetical cases and invisible people in 2023. So LG 8, LG 14,
LG 16 etc are not practical exceptions for the dogma EENS, the Athanasius
Creed, the Syllabus of Errors etc. The Council, for me, does not contradict the
past ecclesiocentrism. The Council in Ad Gentes 7 says all need faith and baptism.
This includes the Jews. There are no known exceptions for us human beings in
real life. There are no exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II for me.
This is not
just a personal opinion.Vatican Council II must only be interpreted rationally.
This is the moral thing to do. There is no choice.
So we cannot
blame Archbishop Bruno Forte only when John Henry Weston and Mother Miriam
interpret Vatican Council II with the irrational and not rational premise.
So I
interpret Vatican Council II rationally. If the Jewish Left use the Anti
Semitism weapon, its too bad. But this is my Catholic faith in harmony with de
fide teachings of the Church. -Lionel Andrades
