The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)Secretariate for Divine Worship Associate Director issued a statement yesterday being unaware that it is was heresy, irrational and a new doctrine.It is a common error made by most Catholics.They are unaware of it. I don't think there is any ill will intended.
Fr.Dan Merz, Associate Director, Secretariate of Divine Worship,USCCB in a letter issued yesterday implies 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.
This was the error made by Jem Sullivan's video reflection on the USCCB Daily Mass Readings. She presented Jesus without the necessity of entering the Catholic Church formally for salvation.This is the standard policy of the USCCB and the Vatican.It is a rejection of extra ecclesiam nulla salus because of alleged visibly known cases in the present time who do not defacto need the baptism of water.
Fr.Dan Merz cites the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1260 and infers that the person saved in invincible ignorance, who has not heard the Gospel through no fault of his own, is not a hypothetical posibility but an actual defacto known case in 2014. So for him too this is an exception to all needing the baptism of water for salvation in 2014.This case would have to be visible and known to him, to be an exception.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that the Church knows of no means to eternal beatitude other than the baptism of water (1257) and also mentions that God is not limited to the Sacraments. Fr.Dan Merz implies that those who are saved without Sacramental Baptism ( if this is possible) are explicit, known in the flesh exceptions to all needing the baptism of water in the present times.This is irrational. These cases are known only to God.The deceased-saved are not visible to us.They cannot be objective exceptions to the literal and traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus which the USCCB does not affirm.
This is not only a factual error of the Secretariate for Divine Worship it is also a first class heresy in the hierarchy of truths of Pope John Paul II. The meaning of the Nicene Creed has been changed. The prayer refers to ' one baptism for the forgiveness of sin' and not three. For the USCCB it is ' I believe in three known baptisms for the forgiveness of sin ( water, desire and blood)'.This is false. Since there is only one known baptism for the forgivness of sins for us humans. It is the baptism of water. The baptism of desire is not visible to us and the baptism of blood can only be judged by God. The baptism of desire and blood are not defacto, known baptisms. We cannot meet someone on the street who we know has been saved or will be saved with the baptism of desire or blood.We cannot meet any 'exception'.We cannot name any one who is an 'exception' to all needing the baptism of water to go to Heaven and to avoid Hell.
This is also heresy because it is a denial of the thrice defined dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus which Pope Pius XII called an 'infallible teaching'. It was a teaching of the Extraordinary Magisterium of three Church Councils and is de fide and binding on all Catholics.
IWe have here also a rejection of Vatican Council II ( Ad Gentes 7) which says all need faith and baptism for salvation.Fr.Dan Merz implies some people do not need faith and baptism in the present times.He also implies that there is known salvation outside the visible limits of the Church.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (846) cites Ad Gentes 7 under the sub title Outside the Church No Salvation.The USCCB instead is saying outside the Church there is salvation and infers that there are such cases known to them in the present times.This is a contradiiction of Dominus Iesus 20 which says even though there is universal salvation, which is available for all people, in potential, all need to enter the Church for salvation. The USCCB is saying that this is not true.
