The Sant Agapito Experience and Apologetics is not based upon the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus or the Latin Mass but Vatican Council II interpreted rationally.There are many good apologetic books and resources but they all interpret Vatican Council II irrationally.
There is Fr. William Most, a good
apologist. I would recommend him. One of his books was translated into Italian
by Fr. Stefano Mannelli f.i, the Founder of the Franciscans of the Immaculate.
But Fr. Most interpreted Vatican Council II irrationally and did not correct
the mistake in the 1949 Letter of the Holy Office.
There is Mons. Joseph Clifford Fenton
and the SSPX priests. Their apologetics is fine but they interpreted the Council
irrationally, like the liberals and the Masons. The same error is there in Ludwig Ott's in Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma. The books on ecclesiology of Cardinal Kasper, Semeraro and other liberals are obsolete.They interpreted the Council irrationally and then went into a spin. There was no checking their liberalism. The extreme liberalism can be seen in the Synods.
When I would walk with my colorful
message on the front of my coat I was affirming the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla
salus but with Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
So the message now, directly, is not
extra ecclesiam nulla salus but Vatican Council II. The Sant Agapito Experience
for me was with Vatican Council II interpreted rationally and not EENS. I was not directly projecting Tradition but the Council and the Catechism.
Vatican Council II rational is my
principal resource. I could begin the apologetics from the Council with LG 8,
14, 15, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc being only hypothetical cases always.
So any one can use this approach. He has
the whole Catholic Tradition to draw from since Vatican Council II (irrational)
is now out of the way. He or she can also check the priests and catechists when
they choose to use Vatican Council II irrational to create a fake break with
Tradition.
In this way the parish can be made
missionary. This will be opposed by some Muslims here since in the Islamic countries
the media constantly criticizes other religions. This is based upon the Quran
and their Tradition ( hadees). So they are told that others need to accept
Mohammad for salvation. It is not enough to believe in God.People of other religions are lesser people even legally. We do not say this. There are good things in other religions Vatican Council II tells us but the religions are not paths to salvation( AG 7, LG 14). The norm for salvation is faith and baptism (AG 7) and not the baptism of desire, baptism of blood, imperfect communion with the Church ( UR 3 ) etc.
So proclaiming ones faith on the streets
means willing to talk to others about Vatican Council II and how it supports
the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church. We are back to traditional mission based upon
there being exclusive salvation in only the Catholic Church.
So when I am on the streets I am
following the teachings of the Catholic Church according to Vatican Council II
and the Catechism of the Catholic Church and I am in Italy. - Lionel Andrades
