Tradition Under Fire: Franciscans of the Immaculate vs. the Vatican



They are criticizing Vatican Council II  , with the false inference and are not aware that there is a Vatican Council II without the irrational inference.
Similarly the Franciscans of the Immaculate do not realize that there can be a Vatican Council II which is not ambiguous when the false premise is not used.They can affirm Vatican Council II without inferring that Nostra Aetate 2 is an explicit exception to the dogma on salvation.
The speakers are not aware that Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre wrongly assumed that the baptism of desire was an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Then he concluded that Nostra Aetate 2 was an exception to the literal interpretation of the dogma according to Fr.Leonard Feeney.
Both the speakers above, like the SSPX bishops, have assumed all these years that the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance are an explicit exception to the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Once they realize this fundamental error, they change the  entire scene on Vatican Council II. They can still admit that Vatican  Council II with the false premise used by Fr.Fidenzio Volpi must  be rejected.However they can  show the Commissioner of the Franciscans of the Immaculate , that Vatican Council II without the inference can be in accord with Catholic Tradition and  the teachings of the Church.The teachings of the Catholic Church  are the same before and after Vatican Council II.
The media must realize that the Vatican Curia, is interpreting Vatican Council II with the inference of there being dead people who are living on earth and that these cases are exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This is irrational and unreal. Yet this is the basis for the interpretation of Vatican Council II by the two traditionalists above and Catholics in general. Once the traditionalists understand this they can correct the error among Catholics at large.
The Vatican Curia may not want to accept Vatican Council II without the false premise but at least they cannot penalize any Catholic or Catholic community by saying 'You must accept Vatican Council(with the false inference)'.This is what Fr.Volpi is doing with the Franciscans of the Immaculate and Michael Matt and Christopher Ferrara don't have a clue.We can accept Vatican Council II without  the common false inference.There is a choice.
The Vatican Council II which Matt and Ferrara are criticizing is the irrational one.
The Holy Spirit cannot expect  any of us to accept an irrational inference. Yet an irrational inference has been used by  Archbishop Lefebvre, the SSPX , the two speakers above along with cardinals and bishops.The progressivists and traditionalists in the Church are making the same error.Remove the premise and Vatican Council II is traditional.
