It's the false premise which creates the theology which makes the Novus Ordo Mass 'evil' for Bishop Fellay

Bishop Bernard Fellay has once again mentioned that the Novus Ordo Mass is valid  but has said that the liturgy is 'evil', it is reported.It the past there was a clarification from the SSPX(USA)  that they accept the Novus Ordo Mass as the Sacrifice of Jesus.
 
Bishop Fellay will continue making these statements until someone corrects him and shows him that  there is a false premise being used in his understanding of Vatican Council II and the theology of the Novus Ordo Mass.
 
Once this false premise is identified the Novus Ordo Mass , which is not political, becomes traditional in its ecclesiology.
 
 The Traditional Latin Mass(TLM) retains the old ecclesiology so it is criticized by the Left and considered ideological by Pope Francis. It predates the 1940's when Cardinal Richard Cushing  and the Jesuits in Boston  introduced the false premise  into the Catholic Church. They consolidated the error right through the 1970's and 1980's.
 
Since this false premise is being used by Bishop Fellay - and nobody corrects
him,  the Novus Ordo  Mass and Vatican Council II comes across , for the bishop, as liberal and heretical, a complete break with Tradition .No wonder he uses the word 'evil'.
 
 The SSPX bishops have also interpreted  Archbishop Lefebvre 's 'Hindu in Tibet  saved in his religion by Christ' as referring to known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This is Cushingism. No one corrected the four bishops.
 
 The priest who offers the Novus Ordo Mass  also assumes there are known exceptions to the dogma on salvation. So these known exceptions are assumed to be there also in Vatican Council II (LG 16,LG 8,AG 11 etc). This is the understanding of the Vatican Curia.So possibly  also for Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre Vatican Council II contradicted the traditional teachings on other religions and Christian communities.
 

There are non-SSPX priests who offer the Novus Ordo Mass (reported on this blog) who know there are no known exceptions to Tradition in the present times.  So for them the Novus Ordo Mass is as traditional as the TLM.They are traditional on the subjects of other religions, ecumenism and religious liberty. They have the traditional ecclesiology which is independent of the liturgy.
 
This is not acknowledged by the SSPX, the communities of Fr.Leonard Feeney and other traditionalists. They could  accept implicit salvation known only to God along with the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and there is no contradiction.
 
This is being done by priests, who offer the Novus Ordo Mass, interpret Vatican Council II  without the false premise and also accept the traditional interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
 
I am still banned on pro-SSPX Internet forums since they say Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre said a Hindu can be saved in his religion. The traditionalists on these forums are unaware  that they are using the false premise and that there is an alternative interpretation for the Hindu in Tibet being saved. If there are no known exceptions then the Hindu saved in his religion is not an exception to the literal interpretation of the dogma on salvation by Fr.Leonard Feeney.
