Now when he was informed the cardinal was not willing to say that the Syllabus of Errors was in perfect agreement with Vatican Council II

About 12 years back I spoke to a Sri Lankan bishop, now a cardinal, at the Propaganda Fide building in Rome and he told me at his office that the Syllabus of Errors was no longer applicable for today.It took me by surprise and I mentioned this to my bishop,who smiled and said nothing.

For this cardinal, my bishop and Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, at that time, the Syllabus of Errors was meaningless.Since they were all interpreting Vatican Council II with the dead man walking and visible theory, what I  also call the irrational inference, the false premise, the visible dead theory, appartion theology, Cushingism etc.

They all, had  also accepted the Letter of the Holy Office 1949,assuming that the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance referred to known and visible cases.Here we have the dead man saved with the baptism of desire and without the baptism of water and visible on the streets of Rome.The visible dead phenomena.Traditional Cushingism and the common irrationality which is accepted even by conservative bishops and cardinals in Rome.

Dec.8,2014 according to Rorate Caeili was the anniversary of the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX.

If we did not use the dead man walking and visible theory, apparition theology based on an irrationality, we could simply interpret Vatican Council II without the false premise and in a rational way.Vatican Council II would then not contradict the Syllabus of Errors.

LG 16 ( saved in invincible ignorance) for example, would not refer to a visible and known case in 2014. LG 16 would not contradict the Syllabus of Errors.It would be the same with LG 8, UR 3 ,NA 2 etc.

I think it was last year that I e-mailed the cardinal. I asked him the TWO QUESTIONS.I had to correspond with his secretary a Sri Lankan priest.The cardinal never responded. He was not willing to say, at least in public, that he did not know of any exceptions in Vatican Council II to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus . In other words there were no exceptions to the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX.He is a conservative cardinal otherwise but he was using the irrational premise, like the liberals, in the interpretation of Church-documents.Now when informed he was not willing to say that the Syllabus of Errors was in perfect agreement with Vatican Council II.
