After the Regensburg Address when Pope Benedict cited Nostra Aetate, he should also have quoted Ad Gentes 7.

 


27 Q. Can one be saved outside the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church?
A. No, no one can be saved outside the Catholic, Apostolic Roman Church, just as no one could be saved from the flood outside the Ark of Noah, which was a figure of the Church.-Catechism of Pope  Pius X.

The Catholic Church is saying that in general Muslims are lost without Catholic faith and the baptism of water. It is the same for Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists etc. It is the same for other Christian denominations. If anyone is saved in another religion, in Heaven, he or she is a Catholic. In Heaven there are only Catholics (Ad Gentes 7-all need faith and baptism for salvation), who are there without mortal sin on their soul. Mohammad, the Muslim prophet, died without faith and the baptism of water. According to the Catholic Church, in Vatican Council II, interpreted rationally, he is lost forever. Vatican Council II also says that those who know about Jesus and the Church and yet do not enter cannot be saved. 

Outside the Church there is no salvation- Catechism of the Catholic Church 846.


Mohammad knew, and yet he founded a new religion. Dante saw him suffering in Inferno.

We can no more cite the red hypothetical passages in Vatican Council II , to suggest that Mohammad was a known exception, for the exclusivist-salvation teaching.There are no known exceptions in 1965-2023 for  Ad Gentes 7, which is in harmony with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) and the Council of Florence (1442).

This is the official teaching of the Catholic Church in Magisterial Documents interpreted rationally, i.e. 'the red is not an exception for the blue'. This has been the teaching of the popes and saints over the centuries who affirmed the traditional strict interpretation of the dogma EENS. They interpreted the baptism of desire (BOD) and being saved in invincible ignorance (I.I), as being only invisible. So BOD and I.I did not contradict the dogma EENS for St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Anthony Marie Claret…This has been the Biblical teaching ( John 3:5, Mark 16:16), now corroborated by Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church  and all the other Catechisms, interpreted rationally only.

This is the official teaching of the Catholic Church however the political interpretation of Vatican Council II, approved by the Jewish Left (ADL, SPLC etc), is to cite Nostra Aetate-but, we know Nostra Aetate nowhere contradicts Ad Gentes 7 and the Fourth Lateran Council. 



Are all religions, with their respective forms of worship, equally pleasing to God?

No. Only the religion established by God and fulfilled in Christ, with its divinely revealed worship, is supernatural, holy, and pleasing to God. All other religions are inherently false, and their forms of worship pernicious, or at least unavailing for eternal life.- Credo, Catechism of Bishop Athanasius Schneider

So after the Regensburg Address when Pope Benedict cited Nostra Aetate, he should also have quoted Ad Gentes 7.

Nostra Aetate acknowledges the good and holy things in other religions, the ‘great religions’, whose adherents must be respected. However Ad Gentes 7, Lumen Gentium 14 and the Catechism of the Catholic Church 845, 846, 1257 tell us that their religions are not paths to salvation.- Lionel Andrades

My Parish Priest Fr. Paolo Boumis at the church Sant Agapito, Rome, is Feeneyite on extra ecclesiam nulla salus and so are the Missionaries of Charity of Mother Teresa , the Auxiliary Bishops of Rome and the theologians at the Ecclesia Mater, of the Rome Vicariate- since they all agree that LG 8,14,15,16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, in Vatican Council II refer to hypothetical cases only, they are always invisible and theoretical cases only in 2023. So they are not practical exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and neither for Ad Gentes 7, which says all need faith and baptism for salvation

So they are saying that the orthodox passages in Vatican Council II (blue passages) support the dogma EENS according to the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), while the hypothetical, red passages, are not exceptions. So we are left with only the orthodox, pro-Feeneyite passages in Vatican Council II which have the hermeneutic of continuity with Tradition. –Lionel Andrades

Even the St. Benedict Centers in the USA were interpreting Vatican Council II irrationally -just as I did once upon a time.

 

Even the Feeneyites were interpreting Vatican Council II irrationally - just as I did once upon a time.Then I discovered that LG 8,14,15,16,UR 3, NA 2, GS etc were always invisible and hypothetical cases. They never were practical exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed and the Syllabus of Errors of Pope  Pius IX -Lionel Andrades
