ANGLICAN RECOLLECT PRIEST AFFIRMS THE CATHOLIC FAITH
An Anglican Recollect priest
at the church Sant Ildefonso e Tomasso Villanova, in Rome recently said that he
accepts Vatican Council II and it has the hermeneutic of continuity with
Tradition for him. So for him outside the Church there is no salvation (AG 7,
LG 14, CCC 845,846 etc). Also the three youth with whom I spoke before the SSPX
Mass yesterday morning also said that they affirm the dogma outside the Church
there is no salvation. They accepted it. But the confusion for them, I noticed,
as it is for the main line Novus Ordo church, here is on LG 8, 14 and 16. Are
they visible or invisible cases? The answer determines if the theology is old
or new.
CATHOLIC YOUTH AT SSPX PALM SUNDAY MASS AFFIRM EENS
These Catholic youth now know
that LG 8 etc are invisible cases. For the first time in their life somebody
told them about it and it was not at the Latin Mass. They are also invisible
cases for the Augustinian Recollect priest and they do not talk about it at
Mass in Italian. Yes they are invisible people say.Everyone agrees with me.
They they say and that this is something obvious. They can only be invisible
cases.
VATICAN COUNCIL II AND THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SHOULD NOT BE A BREAK WITH TRADITION FOR THE SSPX YOUTH
So for the SSPX youth the
Catechism of the Catholic Church and Vatican Council II should not be a break
with Tradition. For every priest, bishop,
cardinal and pope LG 8, 14 and 16 should not be a break with the
dogma EENS and the Athanasius Creed. Since LG 8 etc can only be invisible in
our reality. This is a given. There is no other choice. Only God can
see someone saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) or the baptism of desire(BOD),
or in imperfect communion with the Church (UR 3), or outside the Church where
salvation subsists (LG 8), or where and when, God is not limited to the
Sacraments (CCC1257).
POPE BENEDICT CHOSE IRRATIONALITY AND SAID THERE WAS A HERMENEUTIC OF CONTINUITY WITH TRADITION.
But there is confusion in the
Catholic Church. Even Pope Benedict said Vatican Council II has the
hermeneutic of continuity with the past. He meant that the Council interpreted
irrationally, with the false premise, was in harmony with the 1949
Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston, which also
interprets the BOD and I.I irrationally.
So there was a rupture for
Pope Benedict, with the dogma ENS according to Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston and
the St. Benedict Center of his time. Pope Benedict would say that EENS today
after Vatican Council II is no more like it was for the missionaries in the 16th century.
For him there was a rupture with the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) of Pope
Honorius III and St.Dominc Guzman.
For Pope Benedict, with the false
premise and inference in the interpretation of Vatican Council II there was
also a rupture with the Council of Florence (1442).It defined the dogma EENS
without mentioning BOD and I.I as being exceptions.
So the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,
Vatican today interprets Vatican Council II irrationally as it did in the 1949
Letter of the Holy Office (LOHO) which it issued during the time of Pope Pius
XII.
YOUTH AFFIRM EENS BUT NEGATE IT WITH VATICAN COUNCIL II
The SSPX
also interprets Vatican Council II irrationally like the popes from Paul VI to Francis.
They interpret EENS irrationally like the popes from Pius XII to Francis. So the three youth
would be affirming traditional EENS according to the old Councils and
Catechisms but would be negating it with the SSPX interpretation of Vatican
Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
NON CHRISTIAN LAITY IMPORTANT
The SSPX priest understood
what was happening yesterday morning when I was speaking to the three youth. He
said he would not speak to me. He told the youth not to speak to me. If they
affirmed EENS with no exceptions, as they did, but also in harmony with Vatican
Council II’s invisible cases, the non Catholic police in Rome would object
and so would the non Catholic laity.
So the SSPX denies the faith by projecting LG 8, 14 and 16, UR 3 etc as not being invisible but visible people saved outside the Church.This is political and convenient.- Lionel Andrades
