Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Bristol is still teaching an irrationality : even after being informed

The Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Bristol is still not clarifying that ' there are no known exceptions in the present times to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and Ad Gentes 7, Vatican Council II ( AG 7 says -all need faith and baptism for salvation.'All' signifies no exceptions).Catholics cannot see the deceased on earth.'

Neither are they answering the TWO QUESTIONS 1 by saying that

1.We personally do not know the dead now saved in invincible ignorance, a good conscience (LG 16) etc, in 2014, we cannot  see them physically.They are not visible to us in 2014 .
2.Since we do not know any of these cases; in real life, since they are not visible for us, there are no known exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, or Ad Gentes 7 which says 'all' need 'faith and baptism' for salvation

Instead Prof. Gavin D'Costa, a professor of Catholic theology at the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Bristol has e-mailed me telling me not to contact them.

The Catholic professor refuses  to explain how can the Department teach this irrationality.It  is as if this is their leftist political position, it is irrational and non traditional, but they will continue to uphold it.

This is the pro-Masonic position for the Catholic Church and it is approved by the Catholic Bishop's Conference of England and Wales. It is a denial of traditional Catholic  teaching with the use of an irrational premise.

 

Prof. Gavin D'costa has written a new book on Vatican Council II with reference to the Jews and Muslims. He has not denied that  he has used the same irrational premise to interpret Vatican Council, which is being taught by the University of Bristol.Even after being informed he is earning money on the book by promoting the irrational error which makes Vatican Council II a break with the past.

Similarly Prof. Joseph Shaw, a professor of theology and philosophy at Oxford University,England will not comment on this issue.He probably also teaches extra ecclesiam nulla salus using the same irrationality. He has never commented on Vatican Council II being interpreted with the false premise which makes the Council a break with the past.

 

Presently the Traditional Latin Mass is being targeted all over the world since the political left assumes that the TLM is associated with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus which is a rejection of Vatican Council  II ( with the premise).

 

Without the irrational premise used in the interpretation, Vatican Council II affirms the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, as it was traditionally interpreted.There would be no change in the Catholic Church's teaching on other religions and Christian communities. There would be no new ecclesiology. The present new ecclesiology is based on there being known salvation outside the Church.This is Cushingism and comes from the false inference in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949.

Joseph Shaw is the Chairman of the Latin Mass Society in England and is politically correct with the Vatican and the Catholic Bishops Conference in England .So he will not object to Gavin D'Costa's error on a video posted on the website of the University of Bristol.

TWO QUESTIONS

1) Do we personally know the dead now saved in invincible ignorance, a good conscience (LG 16) etc,can we see them, are they physically visible to us in 2014 ?

2) Since we do not know any of these cases, in real life, they are not visible for us, there are no known exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, or Ad Gentes 7 which states 'all' need 'faith and baptism' for salvation ?
