With all due respect to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger...

in response to Lionel Andrades:
Michael B Rooke It might be noted INTERNATIONAL THEOLOGICAL COMMISSION CHRISTIANITY AND THE WORLD RELIGIONS (1997) PRELIMINARY NOTE The study of the theme “Christianity and the World Religions” was adopted for study by a large majority of the members of the International Theological Commission. …..The present text was approved “in forma specifica” by vote of [...]
The term ‘Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error’ appears to have been invented by Lionel Andrades in 2009.
Lionel:
The term refers to an objective, factual error that is widespread in the Catholic Church.It is an error which can be observed by any person, one does not have to be a Catholic or a theologian to notice it.It would be obvious to a non Catholic too since the subject is common knowledge.No one can claim that human beings in general can see the dead who are now in Heaven. This is fantasy. Then to claim that these deceased cases are exceptions to all needing to enter the Catholic Church , as it was traditionalally taught, is fantasy theology.This mistake has come into the Church from the 1940's and it is not part of the Deposit of the Faith. I have been  calling it the Richard Cushing Error, Cushingism, the Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error or the dead man walking theory.
Michael B Rooke
Under that title Lionel Andrades has written a book and blogged on many sites both against the Society of St Pius X and against the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Lionel:I have not written a book. However I keep pointing out this error whenever I notice it. It is there on the official website of the Society of St.Pius X and it can be read on line on the International Theological Commission website on two theological papers.
Michael B Rooke
Lionel then makes an attack on Cardinal Ratzinger.
Lionel:
With all due respect to Cardinal Ratzinger but the mistake is objectively verifiable on the ITC Vatican website.
Michael B Rooke


“The study of the theme “Christianity and the World Religions” was adopted for study by a large majority of the members of the International Theological Commission. …..The present text was approved “in forma specifica” by vote of the commission on 30 September 1996 and was submitted to its president, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who has given his approval for its publication.
Lionel:They unknowingly used the Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error.”
Lionel:It is a factual mistake which is there on line and it can be corrected by the ITC. It is a specific mistake.
 Michael B Rooke
My view as a mere voice from the pew is that Lionel Andrades is unwittingly or deliberately spreading confusion.
Lionel :
My view is also a mere voice from the pew and I am pointing out to confusion, which is also not part of the Deposit of the Faith and which needs to be acknowledged. It is a fact of life that we cannot see the dead and neither does the Holy Spirit teach this irrationality and new doctrine.-Lionel Andrades
