The 'enemies of the Church' are using the false premise: Fr.Arnaud Rostand misses this point


Fr. Arnaud Rostand; USA District Superior

The false premise is " I can see the dead saved in invincible ignorance,seeds of the word, imperfect communion with the Church etc'

The error of the 'enemies of the church' is to presume that implicit salvation is explicit and so is an exception to Tradition.

The Jewish Left is using the false premise in the interpretation of Vatican Council II and Fr. Arnaud Rostand is not identifying it.

Fr.Arnaud Rostand, Superior of the U.S District of the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) has said that Bishop Bernard Fellay was referring to the head of Jewish organisations, Masons and Modernists and not Jews in general.(1)

The point he missed out is that 'the enemies of the Church' like the Jewish Anti Defamation League (ADL) and the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) are using a false premise in the interpretation of Vatican Council II.Without the false premise of the dead saved and visible to us  who are supposedly exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, Vatican Council II would emerge anti Semitic for the Jewish Left.

This is the key doctrinal issue between the SSPX and the Jewish Left and the SSPX and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

How long more before the U.S District Superior acknowledges it?

Fr. Arnaud Rostand could have announced, contrary to the political policy of the SSPX, that there are no known cases on earth of the dead who are saved and who are exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. So there is nothing in Vatican Council II which contradicts the traditional teaching of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre on other religions and ecumenism.

Only when it is assumed that there are dead men walking on the streets, saved in invincible ignorance etc, can it be implied (wrongly) that  Vatican Council II  says there are exceptions to the dogma on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church.

Instead  Ad Gentes 7 says all need faith and baptism for salvation-and we know there are no exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II. Since LG 16 (invincible ignorance and a good conscience) is not an exception to Ad Gentes 7 or to anything.

Vatican Council II is traditional but the secular media projects it as non traditional, while using the false premise.

SSPX says enemies of the Church are the heads of the Jewish organisations, Masons and modernists and not the Jewish people in general


Doctrinally the SSPX is in agreement with Vatican Council II without the false premise: if they don’t genuflect before the Chief Rabbi is another issue
