USCCB Ecumenism based on misinformation and an irrationality

video-stars-2013-3
Bishop Dennis J. Madden,Chairman of the Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops(USCCB) conducts ecumenism and dialogue while affirming in public that all non Catholics do not need to enter the Catholic Church formally with 'faith and baptism' (AG 7).Since for him there are known exceptions in the present times(2014) to salvation with the baptism of water.
He knows of cases in 2014 who are saved with the baptism of desire or in invincible ignorance who are exceptions to the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
 
"We Catholics no longer embrace a theology of return" says  Fr. John Crossin, O.S.F.S (5:24. See video below)  the Executive Director of the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
 
This policy on ecumenism of the USCCB was affirmed this month by Jem Sullivan in a Daily Mass Reading reflection, on the USCCB video. She affirmed Jesus without the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation.It seems the same with Bishop Dennis Madden and Fr.John Crossin the head of the USCCB  Secretariate for Ecumenism.This could also be the USCCB policy on conversions to the Catholic Church in interreligious dialogue for Jews, Muslims etc.
 
Fr.Dan Merz, Associate Director, Secretariate of Divine Worship,USCCB also implied that being saved in invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire is physically visible in the present times.So all people defacto do not have to enter the Catholic Church for salvation.The USCCB will not correct the Archdiocese of Boston website which states Jews do not have to convert in the present times while the USCCB Doctrinal Committe in a Notification on Fr.Peter C.Phan assumed that being saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire are exceptions to all needing to enter the Church for salvation.
 
In Ecumenism Bishop Madden needs to tell the  Christian communities and churches in the USA that Vatican Council II ( AG 7) states 'all' need 'faith and baptism' for salvation.Christians do not have Catholic Faith which includes the faith and moral teachings of the Church and the Sacraments though which Jesus saves.So according to Vatican Council, though there are good things in non Catholic religions, there members are oriented to Hell unless they enter the Catholic Church.
 
The USCCB ecumenism is based on misinformation about what the Catholic Church really teaches.It is also based on an irrationality. It is assumed that the dead now saved with the baptism of desire etc are visible in the flesh exceptions to Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. This is an objective error in the ecumenism of Bishop Madden and the USCCB.
 
At the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church committed herself irrevocably to following the path of the ecumenical venture….” [Pope John Paul II, Encyclical Letter Ut Unum Sint, #3].The BCEIA and the Secretariat support this vital commitment. In a dozen formal dialogues and in a host of less formal conversations, the BCEIA and the SEIA seek to fulfill this commitment. The commitment is intrinsic to Catholic identity. We are committed to listen to and learn from our neighbors. We hope that in God’s time we will come to full communion with our Christian brothers and sisters. We hope that we will come to a deeper understanding with the members of other religious groups and together build a strong civil community.-Bishop Dennis Madden

' is intrinsic to Catholic identity'? Is  exclusive ecclesiology not part of the Catholic identity ? Where has Vatican Council II said that there are known exceptions to outside the Catholic Church to all needing to enter for salvation.
 
The USCCB like the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales assume that Nostra Aetate 2 'a ray of the Truth' refers to persons personally known in 2014 who are visible exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.The dead-saved are visible exceptions to the Catholic Church's exclusivist identity.This irrational premise is the basis of their theology on ecumenism and a break with the past teachings of the Catholic Church.

So the USCCB  Ecumenism The Nicene Creed is:
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, (who now teaches that outside the Church there is visible salvation in 2014)  the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. (outside of which there is known salvation and so the Church is no more ecclesiocentric) I confess one Baptism ( along with visible for us baptism of desire, being saved in invincible ignorance, visible for us being saved with ' a ray of the Truth' etc.So the baptism of water is not always defacto necessary for salvation.) for the forgiveness of sins  and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.Lionel AndradesSunday, July 20, 2014
