ARCHBISHOP LAWRENCE SALDHANA THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OFFICIALLY TEACHES THAT THE MUSLIM SUICIDE BOMBERS ARE ON THE WAY TO HELL


Lahore, Pakistan, Feb 1, 2011 / 12:55 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Pakistan's top Catholic leader, Archbishop Lawrence J. Saldanha of Lahore, says it is time for the "silent majority" to speak out against the growing influence of radical Islam, particularly among Pakistan's youth.

“We face a dark future, if the radicals take over power and impose their brand of the Islamic way of life,” the archbishop told CNA. “It is time for the 'silent majority' to wake up and take action. Otherwise, they will be pushed back into the dark shadows of medieval times.”

The archbishop offered his reflections while preparing for a national “Day of Prayer, Fasting and Penance” that took place on Jan. 30…

In a troubling sign, some Islamic groups – including prominent youth movements – have hailed the assassin as a national hero. Archbishop Saldanha explained that many Pakistani Muslims were conditioned to take the side of anyone claiming to act in the defense of Islam.

“Anyone doing a deed for the Muslim cause is applauded,” he said. “This explains why Mumtaz Qadri was given a hero’s welcome.”

According to the archbishop, these attitudes can easily prevail in an environment of corruption, poverty, and lack of education. The madrassas – private religious schools imparting a strict vision of Islam – are multiplying. Even public schools often promote hostile attitudes toward non-Muslims, following the lead of many radical clerics.

“From these ranks, suicide bombers are recruited and trained,” Archbishop Saldanha explained. “Young boys from age 10 to 18 are prepared to die for Islam and attain glory in heaven. They join militant extremist organizations that promote jihad.”…-Catholic News Agency, Top Church leader calls for 'silent majority' to oppose radical Islam in Pakistan by Benjamin Mann

Is it posible for the Catholic Church to proclaim the Faith and inform the suicide bombers that they are going to Hell according to the teachings of the Church? Instead it is taught in Pakistan that the Church no more teaches extra ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the church there is no salvation).They cite Vatican Council II, Lumen Gentium 16.
We need to apply the Three Common Sense Points.

1. There is no way that we can know of a particular person saved in invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire because of its very nature. It is known only to God.

2. There is no text in Vatican Council II or the Catechism which claims we know of any such case.

3. So Vatican Council II and the Catechism do not contradict the ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(1)-The Three Common Sense Points

The baptism of desire is a gift of God. We cannot claim that someone has received the Baptism of Desire this month. We cannot claim to know the Mind of God. Observe the common error. They postulate that since it is possible to be saved in invincible ignorance we know of such cases in real life. Then they assume this contradicts the dogma which says everyone needs to enter the Church for salvation.

The Magisterium texts officially teach that all non Catholics are on the path to Hell unless they convert into the Catholic Church.This would include the Muslim suicide bombers.

Can the Archbishop announce that the Catholic Church teaches that the Muslim suicide bombers are on the way to Hell unless they enter the Catholic Church?

This too would be an education.

It would also be a testimony of the Faith.

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.)

CANADIAN AUXILIARY BISHOP DOES NOT DENY OR AFFIRM REPORT

All he wants is to have nothing to do with all this according to an e mail received.

The Auxiliary Bishop of London, Ontario was sent the following report:

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2011
REPORT IS AN EXPOSE OF APOSTASY AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE CHURCH-ROBERT SUNGENIS

Bishop Robert Daniels does not deny that the pope is in first class heresy and should not offer Mass. Neither does he correct me and support the pope.

This is an unpleasant subject. It’s a terrible subject. I am aware that the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI’s knowledge and experience is far superior than mine, there is no comparision. I’m just al ayman who wants someone to prove me wrong. And if I am right, than before God, admit it.


Robert Anthony Daniels (born June 18, 1957) is a Roman Catholic Auxiliary Bishop in the Diocese of London, Ontario, Canada. Bishop Daniels is the titular bishop of Scebatiana. The Most Reverend R. Anthony Daniels was ordained to the episcopate on Tuesday, November 9, 2004, at St. Peter’s Cathedral in London. Bishop Daniels was appointed by His Holiness Pope John Paul II to be Auxiliary Bishop in the Diocese of London and Titular Bishop of Scebatiana. The Holy Father made this announcement on September 21, 2004.-Wikipedia
