Bishop Bernard Fellay the Superior General of the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) has made an objective error in the Letter to Friends and Benefactors no. 82. He infers subtly that what is invisible for us is visible in real life. So there are real, objective exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Syllabus of Errors, Catechism of Pope Pius XII etc. These exceptions are there for him in Vatican Council II .So the Council becomes a rupture with the past.
When I interpret Vatican Council II there are no known exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.Either Bishop Fellay or I am wrong.
The SSPX bishops, like Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, are making an irrational inference in the interpretation of Vatican Council II and they are not denying it.Neither are they refuting my interpretation of Vatican Council II.
For me Vatican Council II is in agreement with Fr.Leonard Feeney's traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.For them it is a break.
