Patrick Archbold who do you know who is saved outside the Catholic Church over the last five years?

According to reports on the Internet Archbishop Thomas E. Gullickson, the American apologist John Martigioni and the Benedictine priest in Rome, Fr.P. Stefano Visintin OSB, Dean of the Faculty of Theology at the Pontifical University St.Anselm agree say there are no visible exceptions to the Feeneyite version of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

There are many reports online which state that we do not know and cannot know any one who will be saved this year without the baptism of water. So in reality there are no exceptions to the traditional interpretation.

The other important point is that before 1949 no Church document says there were known exceptions to the the dogma. This has to be wrongly inferred. Mystici Corporis and the Council of Trent only mention the possibility of being saved with the baptism of desire or in invincible ignorance.These magisterial documents do not state that these cases are known to us or are exceptions to the dogma or must occur without the baptism of water.This is has to be inferred. It is irrational and yet this was the teaching of the Letter of the Holy Office 1949. Patrick Archbold has  not commented on this.

He writes 'Being saved without the Catholic Church is like shooting par with just a putter and a 7-iron. Possible? I suppose. But not the preferred method when your eternal life depends upon it.' 1. Really? Who do you know who is saved without the Catholic Church over the last five years or more.

-Lionel Andrades
