The SSPX rejects the Jewish Left, Masonic interpretation of Vatican Council II,including that of the ADL

When the ADL calls the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) a sect it is false. Since the SSPX are Catholics who reject Vatican Council II with the false premise of being able to see the dead saved which is supposedly an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. The SSPX rejects the Jewish Left, Masonic interpretation of Vatican Council II,including that of the ADL, which used an irrational premise and so the Council emerges modernist.

The ADL website says 'During his December 28 speech in Ontario, Canada, Bishop Fellay made clear that SSPX would never accept the historic reforms of the 1965 Second Vatican Council, which declared anti-Semitism a sin, affirmed God's irrevocable Covenant with the Jewish people, and fostered historic positive and productive dialogue between the Catholic Church and Jews.'

By 'the historic reforms' ADL refers to an interpretation of Vatican Council II which uses the the premise of the dead being saved and walking on the earth. So this would mean, for the ADL, Lumen Gentium 16 refers to those saved in invincible ignorance and a good conscience and who are visible to us on earth. Since they are visible to us they are an exception to the traditional teaching of the Catholic Church which says all Jews and other non Catholics need to convert into the Church for salvation. Without this irrational premise, Vatican Council II would agree with the SSPX position on Jews and other religions.So one can hardly call the SSPX a sect only for rejecting a new interpretation of the Council.

Vatican Council II  in Nostra Aetate 4 states that Catholics are the new people of God. Catholics are the Chosen People. The Jews were the Chosen People.While Ad Gentes 7 states all need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water for salvation.This is an affirmation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.There are no exceptions in Vatican Council II to Ad Gentes 7 and the dogma on exclusive salvation.Nostra Aetate and Ad Gentes agrees with the SSPX position on other religions and ecumenism.It is contrary to the Jewish Left propaganda repeated on the ADL website.
