Theology Fiction or Fantasy theology was the description on Rorate Caeili of the conference on Teilhard di Chardin at the Gregorian University,Rome in which cardinals, bishops and priests participated approvingly.It was called fantasy theology since there was finally no scientific proof for Teilhard's theology. The Piltdown Man, the 'scientific finding' which proved at that time, the link between the ape and man in evolution, was found to be a fake. Even until today, we do not know if the ape devolved from man in a deviant species.There is no proof yet.
However this has not stopped the Catholic magisterium today from approving a theology based on fantasy; the absence of a recognised proof or common reason. This is Piltdown theology the same as that coming officially from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The Secretary of the CDF Cardinal Luiz Ladaria S.J in two of the International Theological Commission papers says the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 of Pope Pius XII criticized Fr.Leonard Feeney for his literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and his denial of the baptism of desire etc. Since there can be cases of persons saved with the baptism of desire and these cases are known to him , the dogma is refuted.Piltdown once again.
He does not know any one on earth saved with the baptism of desire but he assumes that it is a defacto, real exception to the traditional interpretation of the dogma. Based on this error he has created fantasy theology like the 'theology of religions' and the 'ecclesiology of communion'.Welcome to fiction-land in the Vatican!
Recently Archbishop Gerhard Muller , Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican when asked about extra ecclesiam nulla salus in an interview with the National Catholic Register, said there were exceptions.His theology noted the 'exceptions' of those saved in invincible ignorance. The Prefect of the CDF is saying that there are actual, known cases on earth saved with invincible ignorance. This is fantasy. We do not know any such case. Based on this fiction he alleges that there are known exceptions to the dogma on salvation and so every one on earth does not have to convert into the Catholic Church.Shades of Teilhard!
Then Archbishop Augustine Di Noia , Vice President, Ecclesia Dei, CDF when asked about extra ecclesiam nulla salus in the interview with the National Catholic Register, said there were exceptions. Those who are saved with grace are exceptions to the dogma for him. He knows cases on earth, in some new finding, who are saved with grace and so who did not have to convert into the Catholic Church as the dogma taught. This is Piltdown theology. Fake theology with no substantial basis. The stuff of fantasy.
So the CDF assumes that Vatican Council II (LG 16 etc) contradicts the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the Syllabus of Errors. This is assumed based on their fantasy theology.-Lionel Andrades
