The Baroness of Richmond and Chancellor of the University Lady Hale must clarify that the University of Bristol has made a factual and objective error

1.Catholics in general cannot see the dead! This is a falsehood on the video available on the website of the University of Bristol, England.le2. There is no magisterial text including Vatican Council II which states Catholics can see the dead on earth.So this is another falsehood in the video.

3.The video does not cite Ad Gentes 7 of Vatican Council II which says all need faith and baptism. AG 7, Vatican Council II contradicts the video which says all do not need to be Catholic for salvation.In principle a Catholic can be saved in another religion and it would be unknown to us.In fact all in 2014 need faith and baptism for salvation.

4.Nostra Aetate 2 refers to a possibility of salvation for a non Catholic. NA 2 does not say these cases are known to us. The video infers that NA 2 refers to explicit cases which are exceptions to the traditional teaching on other religions and Christian communities.

 

1. So the University of Bristol must not allege that Catholics accept an irrationality, that of being able to see the dead.The Baroness of Richmond and Chancellor of the University, Lady Hale must clarify that an error was made.

2.The university must not allege that there is text in Vatican Council II which contradicts the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.There is no such text. Nostra Aetate does not cite any known exception.

3.The video must cite Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II which says all need faith and baptism for salvation.
