Latin Mass Societies, approved by the local bishop, must identify the Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error and affirm Vatican Council II



Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and President of the Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei", stated on 22 December 2013 that the leaders of the Society are in schism, having departed from communion with the Church, but that the door is open for them if they change their attitude and accept the Catholic Church's conditions and the Pope as the definitive criterion of membership. In another interview on 12 February 2014, he said there is no backdoor for admittance, but only the open door of acceptance of the doctrinal preamble presented to the society in 2012.-Wikipedia on the Society of St.Pius X

 'the leaders of the Society are in schism, having departed from communion with the Church'
The Traditional Latin Mass Societies must identify the Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error being made by Cardinal Gerhard Muller  in the interpretation of Vatican Council II. This was expressed clearly in the interview he gave to Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register, when he was asked about extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Cardinal Muller indicated that in Vatican Council II there were known exceptions to the dogma on exclusive salvation.

This is the same doctrinal error being made by Bishop Bernard Fellay, Superior General of the Society of St.Pius X.
Once this issue is identified the SSPX cannot be considered to be in schism since Vatican Council II would be in agreement with the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

Without the Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error the SSPX is automatically in communion with the Catholic Church and they have a right to canonical status.They would not be in schism since Vatican Council II would not be a break with the past.

Latin  Mass Societies, approved by the local bishop, must identify the Cushing-Jesuit Factual  Error and announce that they affirm Vatican  Council II. They would then be holding the traditional position of the SSPX on other religions and ecumenism, but would not be denying Vatican Council II.
