Pope Francis' statement has no theological foundation in Vatican Council II, interpreted rationally and so honestly.

 

With Pope Francis saying all religions are paths to salvation it is asked if Catholic Tradition is obsolete, in particolar the proclamation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

When I cite the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the past ecclesiocentrism of the Church I affirm Magisterial Documents, including Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, interpreted only rationally. So I affirm the Apostolic teachings of the Church expressed in the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms which do not change.

I am supported by the writings of Pope John Paul II which opposed indifferentism, Pope Pius X and the popes over the centuries. I am supported by the missionaries and Magisterium of the 16^th century but also the Church Fathers and the Apostles. Pope Francis cannot say the same. He is not in communion with Jesus and His Church. This is a scandal. It is the non separation of the Leftist Vatican State with the leftist government of Sergio Mattarella the President of Italy.

There will be a visitation of the religous community FSSP. It will be based upon Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. So the pope has not rejected these Church Documents. However the visitation will interpret these Church Documents irrationally to produce a non traditional conclusion.It will be the common foregn liberalism of the Church. I return to Tradition when I interpret these same Documents rationally.

So irrespective of what Congar, Rahner and Ratzinger did in 1965, when I interpret Vatican Council II rationally, it is a return to Tradition.

Irrespective of what Pope Francis says and does when I interpret these Documents rationally, it is a return to Tradition.It also makes the  liberalism of the pope obsolete. Pope Francis' statement has no theological foundation in  Vatican Council II, interpreted rationally and so honestly. -Lionel Andrades
