Don Leonardo Maria Pompei an Italian priest on this video makes the familiar error. He assumes that Pope Pius XII was correct and Fr.Leonard Feeney was wrong and so there are known exceptions to the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus. For him the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance are exceptions to the dogma, in other words, they are known and visible. They are for him defacto exceptions to the dogma.
With this reasoning he comes to Lumen Gentium, Vatican Council II and once again supposes there are references to objective exceptions to the traditional interpretation of the dogma.
The same reasoning has been used by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in the interpretation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Dominus Iesus, Ut Unum Sint etc. He mistakes invisible for us cases now in Heaven as being visible to us. Upon this irrationality he has created a new theology in the Catholic Church which rejects the traditional theology on salvation and our understanding of Church.
So for his priest there are known exceptions to the dogma even though we do not know of any case in real life and no magisterial documents before 1949 makes this claim. Not even the Council of Trent or Mystici Corporis uses this irrationality.
