The report Fr.Feeney and Catholic Doctrine on the Society of St.Pius X seminary it is learnt had the approval of Bishop Richard Williamson.
The Jewish Left media have all praise for Archbishop Richard Cushing and condemn Fr. Leonard Feeney. So does the SSPX bishop.
Yet here is the ex cathedra dogma which does not say that those who have the Baptism of desire or are in invincible ignorance do not have to enter the Catholic Church.
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, 302.). 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 CatholicChurch.” -(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: http://nosalvationoutsideofthecatholicchurch.blogspot.com/
So Fr.Leonard Feeney affirmed the above dogma so how could he be in heresy ?
So Bishop Richard Williamson and the SSPX have just accepted the propaganda on Wikipedia etc.
The emphasis in blue says one has to be an explicit, visible member of the Catholic Church for salvation. This has been the teaching of Fr.Leonard Feeney and this is being criticized by the SSPX website report.
It is the secular which has been repeatedly been saying that no more does one have to become a visible member of the Catholic Church . The SPPX repeats the error.
The media says that Fr.Feeney was excommunicated for saying that everyone with no exception needs to be a member of the Catholic
Church. The dogma says that and so how could be be excommunicated for heresy. One has to be an explicit member of the Catholic Church, according to the infallible teaching above , to be saved from Hell.
Bishops Williamson and Fellay have been saying all non Catholics need to convert into the Catholic Church for salvation but the SSPX had also been using the mantra ‘except for those in invincible ignorance
and with the baptism of desire’. So they are vague on this subeject.
The media emphasize this exception as if it refers to explicit salvation like the baptism of water. This is false since the Baptism of Desire is not explicit like the Baptism of water. So how can it contradict the ex cathedra dogma ?
The media projects Fr.Feeney as in heresy instead of Archbishop Richard Cushing and the Jesuits. In the Boston Case the archbishop and the Jesuits considered the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance as explicit, knowable, and judgable and an exception to the infallible teaching.
The media says the archbishop was correct to place a ban on St.Benedict Center since Fr.leonard Feeney was teaching false doctrine.
Richard J. Cushing, Archbishop of Boston – Decree Regarding Leonard Feeney, April 18, 1949
Rev. Leonard Feeney, S.J., because of grave offense against the laws of the Catholic Church has lost the right to perform any priestly function, including preaching and teaching of religion...
Any Catholics who frequent St. Benedict’s Center, or who in any way take part in or assist its activities forfeit the right to receive the Sacrament of Penance and Holy Eucharist. (Emphais added)
Yet the dogma above shows us that Fr. Feeney was not in heresy and instead it was the Archbishop Cushing who was giving us a new doctrine.He was tacitly saying implicit baptism of desire was explicit like the baptism of water. This is heretical since it contradicted an infallible teaching.
The media suggests Lumen Gentium 16,Vatican Council II refers to de jure, implicit salvation.This is the Fr.Hans Kung Deception. This is a follow up of the Cushing Doctrine an error accepted by the SSPX
members including their bishops since the 1960s.
It would be rational to say everybody(all non Catholics) with no exception need to enter the Catholic Church for salvation (to avoid Hell) and those who are in invincible ignorance or have the baptism of desire known only to God and He only will judge them.
So the Letter of the Holy Office was endorsing the infallible teaching as it is and so was Fr.Leonard Feeney.
The Letter indicates that all Jews in Boston need to convert to avoid Hell. The media avoids it. Vatican Council II, Ad Gentes 7 indicates all Jews and Muslims in Rome are on the way to Hell, since they know about Jesus and the Catholic Church and yet do not enter. The media blacks it out. There is no mention of this on the SSPX website too.
It is said that Fr. Leonard Feeney rejected the baptism of desire and so was a heretic. He was saying that there is no baptism of desire that one can know of explicitly. Explicit baptism of desire is the Richard Cushing heresy. It is contrary to the principle of non contradiction.
