Then it states theology must follow the magisterium-but the present magisterium has made an objective, factual mistake in the interpretation of Vatican Council II with the Richard Cushing Error.
The encyclical Lumen Fidei states faith is ecclesial but refers to 'Christians' instead of 'Catholics'.
Are the popes Benedict and Francis assuming that Christians, Orthodox Christians, Protestants and others, are in general in the Catholic Church or that some of them are visible to us members of the Catholic Church?
Are those Christians saved in imperfect communion with the Church (UR 3), seeds of the Word (AG 11) and elements of sanctification and grace(LG 8) visible for the popes, so their theology also suggests that they are visible ?
Ecclesial faith must refer to 'faith and baptism' (AG 7). Catholic Faith and the baptism of water and not the Christian faith of the Lutherans, Jehovah Witnesses and Christian Scientologists. Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church refer to all needing to enter the Church as through a door. So the word faith cannot refer to the faith of all Christians.
The magisterium has made a mistake. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,(CDF) Vatican archbishops and cardinal have in public assumed that there are known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Archbishop Gerhard Muller and Augustine Di Noia have made the errors in interviews with the National Catholic Register and Cardinal Luiz Ladaraia S.J in two theological papers of the International Theological Commission approved by Pope Benedict XVI.They imply that invisible cases now in Heaven in the present times are an exception to the interpretation of Fr.Leonard Feeney. They do theology assuming that these invisible cases are visible.What is possible in principle is assumed to be defacto and known to us.
Pope Benedict XVI has made the same error in Light of the World- Conversations with Peter Seewald (Ignatius Press).This was the original error of the Archbishop of Boston Cardinal Richard Cushing in the Fr.Leonard Feeney case.
For Archbishop Cushing faith was not ecclesial since there could be known exceptions 'outside the Church'. As if he could name them.This oversight was never corrected clearly by Pope Pius XII or any of the following popes.
The same error is extended to Vatican Council II and the CDF now expects the Society of St.Pius X to endorse this error for canonical status. There can be two interpretations of Vatican Council – with or without the Richard Cushing Error. The present magisterium is using the error. They assume we can see the dead. This is an objective error. It is a fact that we cannot physically see the dead in Heaven or meet them personally.So how can whom we do not know be an exception to all needing to become visible members of the Catholic Church for salvation. If the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 criticized Fr.Leonard Feeney for saying every one needs to be a visible member of the Church for salvation then the cardinal who issued the Letter made a mistake. How can a cardinal contradict Vatican Council II (AG 7), the Catechism of the Catholic Church(846) and the defined dogma on salvation.
However there is nothing in the Letter which contradicts the traditional teaching on salvation unless one is using the Richard Cushing Error. There is nothing in Vatican Council II which contradicts extra ecclesiam nulla salus.So 'ecclesial faith' must refer exclusively for the Catholic Church and not Christians in general.
To assume only faith is Jesus is needed without the necessity of the Church is a false faith. It is a faith based on a falsehood. It is irrational. The Holy Spirit cannot teach an irrationality.
