AVE MARIA UNIVERSITY AND FISCHER MORE COLLEGE : THE DOCTRINAL DIVIDE

It is the Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error which divides the Ave Maria University Fl and the Fischer More College, Fort Worth USA from offering the same traditional syllabus.

The Fischer More College is a traditional Catholic educational institution which interprets Vatican Council II and other magisterial documents using the Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error. The result is a break with Tradition. So they put aside Vatican Council II and follow Tradition before the Council, including the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the Syllabus of Errors.

The Ave Maria University  whose founder-Chancellor is Tom Monaghan like the FMC interprets Vatican Council II and other magisterial documetns using the Cushing-Jesuit  Factual Error.The result is a break with Tradition.They instead accept Vatican Council II and reject the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. On many other aspects of the Catholic Faith they are traditional and Catholic.


Dr. Michael Dauphinais is the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty, Associate Professor of Theology, at the Ave Maria University Fl.  and is in a position to clarify the doctrinal error in the Syllabus. This error is part of the teaching of the faculty in the Theology and Catechetical departments of the university.The Chancellor Tom Mohniyan can correct the error in the university and its affiliates.
 
Similarly Mr.Michael King the President of Fischer More College is also in a position to clarify the same doctrinal error in the FMC Syllabus.
 
Once these two Catholic  institutions agree that they can interpret Vatican Council II, the Letter of the Holy Office 1949, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Dominus Iesus, Redemptoris Missio etc without using the false premise of being able to see the dead who are exceptions to the traditional teaching on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church, then they both have a common educational approach, which, is also rational.
 
May be the Chancellor of the Ave Maria University could held the FMC to stabilise itself since they will both be interpreting magisterial documents according to Catholic Tradition.

The first step is to identify the Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error.Then decide not to use it.
