Will the Most Reverend W. Francis Malooly, D.D the Archbishop of Wilmington,USA in this dialogue tell the Muslims that the Catholic Church interprets Vatican Council II with the YELLOW or RED column ?
One response is a lie.
The Delaware Catholics could tell the Muslims that the Catholic Church teaches in Vatican Council II that they need faith and baptism to go to Heaven and avoid Hell.There are no known exceptions in Delaware.
This would be the teaching of the Catholic Church according to Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7).
Or the Delware Catholics could tell the Muslims there that they do not need to convert since there are known exceptions to Ad Gentes 7 in Vatican Council II (LG 16 etc) They know of cases in Delaware of Muslims who are now saved in Heaven without faith and baptism.
This would be a lie.
If there are exceptions to Ad Gentes 7 and the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus then Bishop Malooly is using the red values.
implicit or explicit for us.
hypothetical or known in reality.
invisible or visible in the flesh.
dejure ( in principle) or defacto (in fact).
subjective or objective.
The use of the red column to interpret Vatican Council II results in misinformation.It is likely that the teenagers and parents who will be visiting the local mosque will be there with misinformation about the Catholic Church, especially Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
If they interpret Vatican Council II with the yellow values Vatican Council II would be traditional on the issue of other religions, including Islam. -Lionel Andrades
