According to the Lepanto Foundation Prof. Roberto de Mattei is to speak on April 9 at the Cosmos Club, Washington, DC on “The Second Vatican Council: An Unwritten Story”
'To the ongoing debate Roberto de Mattei offers the contribution not of a theologian but of an historian...' (1)
The Lepanto Foundation (LF) and Roberto Mattei have contributed to the debate as theologians. They have interpreted Vatican Council II as a break with Tradition. A report on the LF website tells the Franciscans of the Immaculate not to sign a statement approving Vatican Council II. Again the issue is theology.
This injunction of the Commissioner implies acceptance of the hermeneutics of discontinuity and of rupture, because by isolating the Second Vatican Council from the whole tradition of the Church, the Council becomes, by implication, the only true Council and one which dissolves all preceding doctrine-Maurizio Grosso (2)
Here the LF, the Apostolic Commissioner and the Franciscans of the Immaculate are making the common error. They assume Lumen Gentium 16 ( being saved in invincible ignorance) refer to cases visible to us. It is with this premise that they interpret Vatican Council II and so the result is 'the hermeneutics of discontinuity'.
They have used the premise of being able to see the dead -saved who are exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus and upon this factual error have built their theology.
This is the theological error of the Lepanto Foundation founded by Roberto Mattei.
The Franciscans of the Immaculate could accept Vatican Council II in which Lumen Gentium 16 ( being saved in invincible ignorance) etc is implicit and known only to God. It is invisible for us. So it is not an exception to extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Ad Gentes 7 ( all need faith and baptism ) affirms the dogma on exclusive salvation.
Vatican Council II does not contradict the traditional teaching on other religions and Christian communities unless like the Lepanto Foundation and others it is assumed that the dead saved referred to in the Council are visible to us on earth.
It is with this error that Roberto Mattei will be giving talks this summer in the USA.
