The Council must be accepted without the irrational premise.
There has been no criticism from Father Angelo Geiger F.I. None was expected.Since I am not presenting a new theology.I am only asking him to make a philosophical observation based on common reason.
It's a fact of life that we cannot see the dead. One does not have to be a theologian or educated to know this.
It is a fact that all salvation in Heaven is visible only to God. So it is ridiculous to imply that those saved in invincible ignorance (LG 16) , seeds of the Word (AG 11) etc are known, visible to us, explicit exceptions to the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Hypothetical cases cannot be exceptions.
So without assuming that we can see the dead ; without the dead man walking and visible theory Vatican Council II is a traditionalist's dream! The Council Fathers did a good job!
Vatican Council II has the 'ideology' of the Traditional Latin Mass(TLM).
The faculty at the Fischer-More College,USA can affirm the Council 'according to tradiitional Catholic spirituality and doctrine'.
The Franciscans of the Immaculate (F.I) can accept Vatican Council II only without the dead man walking theory.
The SSPX must know that there are no known exceptions in Vatican Council II (without the false premise interpertation) to their traditional teachings on other religions and Christans communities.There are no contradictions to Ad Gentes 7, which says all need faith and baptism for salvation.Ad Gentes 7 is included in the Catechism of the Catholic Church under the title Outside the Church No Salvation.
Things couldn't be so good! After some 70 -plus years we realize that the problem exists in one simple statement.Something that was implied and overlooked.
Traditionalists could ask EWTN and Catholic Culture (Jeff Mirus, Trinity Communications) to explain how the baptism of desire can be an exception to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus as interpreted by Fr.Leonard Feeney. That the baptism of desire is an exception, it is implied in the online report Tragic Errors of Fr.Leonard Feeney (EWTN/ Trinity Communications) (1).
The International Theological Commission(ITC) must be asked how can there be a 'theology of religions' based on known salvation outside the visible limits of the Catholic Church.This is the factual error in two of their theological papers, 'Christianity and the World Religions' and 'The Hope of Salvation for Infants who die without baptism'.
The Dominican bishop at Lausanne, Switzerland, and former Secretary of the ITC, must be asked why cannot the SSPX use the churches in his diocese for 'doctrinal reasons', as he says, when Vatican Council II without the dead-saved and visible premise, does not contradict the SSPX traditional position on other religions etc.The Council agrees with traditional doctrine.
Also Fr.Angelo Geiger F.I, and the Apostolic Commissioner of the Franciscans of the Immaculate must be asked to clarify if they accept Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, with or without the false premise.
