Peter and Michael Dimond still mulling over question


A few weeks back I received some mail from the Dimond Brothers and I asked them to answer one question and to please give me permission to quote them.The question was: Do we know anyone in 2012 saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire ? (Are these cases visible to us?)

There is no reply. Since they assume that these cases are visible to us in the present times and so are exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. So they reject these cases even in principle.

Since they assume that these cases are explicit and can be an exception to the dogma on salvation and since they reject these cases even in principle, they call any one a heretic who acknowledges the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance.

So for them too Vatican Council II has to be a break from the past.They are using the false premise of being able to see the dead and they assume we can see the dead saved in invincible ignorance etc and so these cases have to be an exception to the dogma.

The fault is not with Vatican Council II but their use of the false premise.
