DAPHNE MCLEOD AGREES : MICHAEL DAVIS MADE A MISTAKE

He wrote his Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre (1)assuming there are known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
 
We now know that Archbishop Lefebvre's 'hindu saved in his religion in Tibet' (2) is not an exception to the literal interpretation of the dogma on salvation according to Fr.Leonard Feeney. Michael Davis did not know that all salvation mentioned in Vatican Council II is not relevant to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
 
There are no exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus in Vatican Council II. So the traditional teaching on other religions  and ecumenism has not changed.
 
Davis, like Archbishop Lefebvre, assumed that implicit for us salvation is explicit. They mistook  what is invisible for us as being visible. He assumed that the dead now saved in Heaven are  personally known to us. They are  visible in the flesh. So they became exceptions to Tradition.So he criticized Vatican Council II.
 
Daphne McLeod is aware of this factual error in the writings of Michael Davis.It is a fact of life that she cannot see the dead, now existing in Heaven or Hell.

"Consider a Hindu in Tibet who has no knowledge of the Catholic Church. He lives according to his conscience and to the laws which God has put into his heart. He can be in the state of grace, and if he dies in this state of grace, he will go to heaven.” (The Angelus, “A Talk Heard Round the World,” April, 2006, p. 5.)
