SANDRA MAZZOLINI TO TEACH HERESY AT URBANIANA PONTIFICAL UNIVERSITY ROME IN NEW ACADEMIC YEAR

Sandra Mazzolini who has written a controversial book in Italian on extra ecclesiam nulla salus, based on the writings of Fr. William Most, is to teach at the Urbaniana Pontifical University, Rome in the new academic year 2010-2011.

According to the University Handbook she will conduct a seminar on ‘The development and interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus (MLT 3005 3 credits Second Semester Lo sviluppo e interpretazione dell ‘Extra ecclesiam nulla salus’). There are other courses too which she has been permitted to teach as a lecturer in the department of missiology.

Sandra like Fr. William Most never says that the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus is ex cathedra. They both present a long list of Church Fathers and mix up explicit and implicit means of salvation. They believe that there can be the rigorist interpretation of the dogma and new interpretations. It can be ‘developed’.

They interpret the dogma differently from St. Maximillian Kolbe, St. Francis of Assisi and numerous saints through the centuries. They both tacitly reject the dogma on the infallibility of the pope ex cathedra.

Also the two reasons for their change in the interpretation of the dogma are factually incorrect. They cite Fr. Leonard Feeney and Vatican Council II as the reason for the ‘development’.

1. There is no Church Document which states that Fr. Leonard Feeney of Boston was excommunicated for heresy. The Letter of the Holy Office published in the Denzinger Enchiridion states the excommunication was for disobedience. The ex cathedra dogma indicated, like Fr. Leonard Feeney’s rigorist interpretation, that all Jews in Boston need to convert into the Catholic Church with no exception to avoid Hell.

Here is the ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

1. “There is but one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved.” (Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, 1215). Ex cathedra.

2.“We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.” (Pope Boniface VIII, the Bull Unam Sanctam, 1302.).Ex cathedra.

3.“The most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless before death they are joined with Her; and that so important is the unity of this ecclesiastical body that only those remaining within this unity can profit by the sacraments of the Church unto salvation, and they alone can receive an eternal recompense for their fasts, their almsgivings, their other works of Christian piety and the duties of a Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved, unless he remain within the bosom and the unity of the Catholic Church.” (Pope Eugene IV, the Bull Cantate Domino, 1441.) Ex cathedra – from the website Catholicism.org and “No Salvation outside the Church”: Link List, the Three Dogmatic Statements Regarding EENS

2. Lumen Gentium 16, Vatican Council II cannot contradict the infallible teaching since there is no explicit invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire that we can know of. There are no cases of the baptism of desire which we know of in the present times or the last 100 years. None of us knows whom Jesus will judge as having a good conscience on the Day of Judgement. So if there is anyone with the baptism of desire, invincible ignorance or a good conscience it will be known only to God. For us it is only a concept, something we accept in principle, hypothetical, a possibility known only to God. So if it not explicit how it can contradict the  rigorist interpretation of the ex cathedra dogma which says everyone with no exception, needs to enter the Church to go to Heaven.

So where is the basis of the ‘development’ of extra ecclesiam nulla salus? How can you interpret it differently from the past with no new texts or Church documents to support you? Yet this is what Sandra Mazzolini and the late Fr. William Most do.

There is no Church document which says that the Catholic Church has retracted extra ecclesiam nulla salus, or now, interprets it differently. It still is a Magisterial Document.

It is in accord with Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7), the Catechism of the Catholic Church (N.845,846) and Magisterial Documents (Dominus Iesus 20 etc)

How can a lay, presumably Catholic woman , throw away the ex cathedra teaching ,change its meaning and interpretation and then go forward to receive the Eucharist at Mass? To reject an ex cathedra teaching is grave matter. One of the requirements for mortal sin.

Also how can an ex cathedra teaching be superseded by the ordinary Magisterium (Vatican Council II, Letter of the Holy Office 1949) and that too with a factually false interpretation?

She is faced with the hard truth and she could not like it- it is, all Protestants, Orthodox Christians, Muslims and Jews are on the path to Hell unless they convert into the Catholic Church before they die (Cantate Dominio, Council of Florence, Ex Cathedra). This knowledge for centuries has been the basis of mission.
