BAPTISM OF DESIRE IS NOT AN EXCEPTION TO THE DOGMA SO IF FR.LEONAED FEENEY SAID ‘THIS OR THAT’, AS THEY SAY, IT IS IRRELEVANT


On the Catholic Answers forum Bishop Bernard Fellay is quoted along with Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

So when Bishop Bernard Fellay, Superior General of the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) at a Conference in Denver, Co., Feb. 18, 2006 (1) said  every one does not need to convert into the Church,and mentions a Hindu this case should not be seen as an explicit exception to the dogma.


SSPX founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, "Against the Heresies",p.216 (2)  uses the word ‘implicitly’. The baptism of desire or implicit desire being always implicit does not contradict Fr. Leonard Feeney.



If Fr.Leonard Feeney said ‘this or that’ about the baptism of desire it is irrelevant to his literal interpretation of the dogma on exclusive salvation.-Lionel Andrades

"Consider a Hindu in Tibet who has no knowledge of the Catholic Church. He lives according to his conscience and to the laws which God has put into his heart. He can be in the state of grace, and if he dies in this state of grace, he will go to heaven.” (The Angelus, “A Talk Heard Round the World,” April, 2006, p. 5.)

SSPX founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, "Against the Heresies",p.216
:“Evidently,certain distinctions must be made. Souls can be saved in a religion other than the Catholic*religion*(Protestantism,*Islam,*Buddhism,*etc.), but not by this religion. There may be souls who, not*knowing Our Lord, have by the grace of the good Lord,*good*interior*dispositions,*who*submit*to*God...But*some*of*these* persons make an act of love which implicitly is equivalent to baptism of desire.
It is uniquely by this means that they are able to be saved.”
