For Brother Andre Marie micm, prior, at the St. Benedict Cener in New Hampshire, there is nothing in Vatican Council II to contradict CCC 845,846 ( Outside the Church there is no salvation) or Ad Gentes 7, which says all need faith and baptism for salvation.He does not confuse invisible cases as being visible. This is the mistake of Fr. Robinson and the SSPX bishops today.

 

At the time 18:21 on this video Fr. Robinson says that one of the signatories of the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston relative to Fr. Leonard Feeney was Cardinal Ottaviani.

Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani was the secretary of the Holy Office (Congregation for the Doctrine of the faith) from 1959 to 1966. He was made a cardinal by Pope Pius XII, in 1953 during whose pontificate the 1949 LOHO was issued, according to Wikipedia..

Cardinal Ottaviani, like the popes from Pius XII and Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre accepted the 1949 LOHO with no correction. They all assumed that invisible cases of the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance were visible exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This was an objective and public mistake .

The same false reasoning was brought to Vatican Council II by Fr. Karl Rahner sj, Fr.Joseph Ratzinger sj, and other Council Fathers. They projected LG 8, 14, 15, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II as being physically visible examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church and so practical exceptions for the past ecclesiocentrism of the Church, which had become obsolete for them.

The SSPX bishops followed this false reasoning and so for them even today, Vatican Council II is a rupture with the dogma EENS, the Athanasius Creed, the Syllabus of Errors and the rest of Tradition.

But for the St. Benedict Center in Richmond, New Hampshire, LG 8,14,15,16 etc refer to invisible and hypothetical cases only in 2024. So they are not exceptions for the dogma EENS, the Feeneyite version, the traditional version. The Council has a continuity with Tradition. Similarly the Catechism of the Catholic Church 846 says outside the Church there is no salvation.
