The 21 new cardinals to be appointed next month only accept the New Missal which is liberal and does not affirm the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS).Since Vatican Council II is interpreted irrationally. This produces alleged exceptions for EENS and the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius X.
But if they interpret Vatican Council II rationally, with Feeneyism i.e. invisible cases are always invisible, then there would be no objective exceptions for the past ecumenism of return to the Church of the Syllabus. The Council would also not contradict the Athanasius Creed which says all need Catholic faith for salvation.
So why should we have new cardinals who accept Vatican Council II interpreted only irrationally and then accept only the new Missal?
Pope Paul VI made a mistake in the interpretation of the Council. He could have chosen to interpret the Council rationally. It would be then in harmony with the 16th century Roman Missal. There would not be any new theology.
The cardinals must clarify that they interpret Vatican Council II rationally and so support only the past exclusivisit ecclesiology of the Roman Missal. Also, they can only elect a future pope who does the same. This is the moral thing for the cardinals to do. -Lionel Andrades
