Bishop Athanasius Schneider and priests who offer the Traditional Latin Mass in Engand : two questions

  1. Pontifical Institute of Liturgy, University of San Anselm , Rome Benedictine priest-professors, offer Holy Mass. According to their website .
    'The Institute was canonically established by the Apostolic See as a faculty of Sacred Liturgy of the Pontifical University of St.Anselm in order to promote liturgical science through research and teaching.' According to a brochure of the Institute ' it is empowered to grant, in the name of the Holy Father, the academic degrees of License and Doctorate in liturgy (Statutes 127). The programme of studies considers the Eucharistic(sic), the sacraments and sacramentals , the liturgy of the Hours and the Liturgical year under their theological, historical , spiritual and political aspects.'

    So they promote a theological understanding of the Holy Mass.

    I spoke to the Dean of Theology 1 and he answered the following TWO QUESTIONS:

    1) Do we personally know the dead now saved in invincible ignorance, a good conscience (LG 16) etc,can we see them, are they physically visible to us in 2014 ? YES or NO
    2) Since we do not know any of these cases, in real life, they are not visible for us, there are no known exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, or Ad Gentes 7 which states 'all' need 'faith and baptism' for salvation ? THERE ARE NO KNOWN EXCEPTIONS OR YES THERE ARE KNOWN EXCEPTIONS TO EXTRA ECCLESIAM NULLA SALUS.


    How would Bishop Athanasius Schneider and the priests who offer the Traditional Latin Mass in England answer the two questions?

On May 24,2014 Bishop Schneider will be speaking at a conference in London.2 Another speaker is Professor Thomas Pink a  Lecturer at King's College, London, where the professors would not like to answer the two questions. 
 
The two questions are not being answered by Joseph Shaw the Chairman of the Latin Mass Society in England. He is a Tutor in Philosophy at St Benet's Hall, a Permanent Private Hall of Oxford University and a  member of the Philosophy Faculty.He teaches and lectures in the University. He also gives talks outside the University to a variety of groups on a variety of subjects.3
