University of Bristol and Gavin D'Costa repeat the lie on Catholic teaching : interprets Vatican Council II with Cushingism

The University of Bristol,England and Gavin D'Costa, Professor of Catholic Theology are still repeating the familiar falsehoods on Catholic teaching. The university refuses to admit that Vatican Council II affirms the rigorist interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. It is Feeneyite. Instead D'Costa uses Cushingism to interpret Vatican Council II and other magisterial documents.
Gavin D'Costa
According to Vatican Council II (AG 7, LG 14) all need faith and baptism for salvation.The all includes all Muslims, besides other non Catholics. They need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water to go to Heaven and avoid Hell. This is there in the  text of Vatican Council II. It is repeated in two documents Lumen Gentium and Ad Gentes.
The University of Bristol's Department of Religion and Theology refuses to accept this. They will not state that Ad Gentes  7 and Lumen Gentium 14 is in agreement with the traditional, rigorist interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Instead at seminars D'Costa presents Vatican Council II interpreted with irrational Cushingism, which is non traditional and heretical.
The Rome Vicariate, Ecclesia Dei, SSPX, FSSP, CMRI agree Cardinal Marchetti made a mistake and Fr.Leonard Feeney was correct in 1949.1.
They agree that :
1. The physically dead for us, who are now saved in Heaven in invincible ignorance or with the baptism of desire cannot be exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.They are not known or visible to us on April 9,2015. Salvation in Heaven is not objectively seen on earth. It is known only to God.So LG 16,LG 8,UR 3, NA 2 etc also cannot refer to exceptions.Since there cannot be exceptions to the dogma for us humans.The University does not accept this simple empirical observation.
2. Similarly someone who allegedly died centuries back without the baptism of water ( The Good Thief on the Cross, St.Emerentiana) would not be an explicit exception to the dogma on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church today on April 9,2015.So D'Costa cannot refer a case of the past  as being a defacto case and an exception in the present times.This would be philosophical reasoning gone wrong.
3.Similarly the University of Bristol faculty would not know of someone today April 9, 2015 who would be saved in future, without faith and baptism and so would not need to be a formal member of the Catholic Church to avoid Hell as the dogma teaches.They cannot posit someone living today as being an exception to Ad Gentes 7 ( all need faith and baptism) and Cantate Domino, Council of Florence 1441.
Neither has Gavin D'Costa or any other professor at the University of Bristol denied these three points in public.Yet in private they affirm irrationality.They  project Vatican Council II as a break with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and Tradition in general.
In their seminars and religous education they do not state Vatican Council II says all Muslims are on the way to Hell unless they convert into the Catholic Church.
Here is another seminar held at the university according to the University website in which, a politically correct with the Left version, of Vatican Council II and Catholic theology would be presented.
10 February 2015: Debate: ‘Muslim-Catholic Relations since Paul VI: The Legacy of Ecclesiam Suam and Vatican II.’
Mustafa Baig, Research Fellow, Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter;
Gavin D’Costa, Professor of Catholic Theology, University of Bristol.
Chair: David Leech
According to the Rome Vicariate, Ecclesia Dei, SSPX, FSSP and CMRI there are no known Muslims, or other non Catholics, who will be saved today April 9,2015, without Catholic Faith and the baptism of water. This is Vatican Council II without Cardinal Marchetti's irrational inference which D'Costa uses in his lolipop theology.His bad theology. is based on a false premise and inference. 2 When repeated after being informed it becomes a lie.-Lionel Andrades
 
1.

Rome Vicariate, Ecclesia Dei, SSPX, FSSP, CMRI agree Marchetti made a mistake and Feeney was correct
Rome Vicariate, Ecclesia Dei, SSPX, FSSP, CMRI indicate Cardinal Ratzinger made an objective mistake in the Catechism
Contemporary Magisterium is in doctrinal error : Rome Vicariate, Ecclesia Dei, SSPX,FSSP,CMRI agree
 
 
2.
Theology for me is reason harmonizing with Faith, within the Catholic Church. Cushingism is not Catholic.

Cardinal Nicols and FIUV are telling a falsehood. Why do rank and file Catholics have to accept it?

If someone is saved with ' a ray of the Truth' (Nostra Aetate 2) it is not known in 2014, so NA 2 does not contradict AG 7 or extra ecclesiam nulla salus http://eucharistandmission.blogspot.it/2014/05/if-someone-is-saved-with-ray-of-truth.html#links

April 12,2015: Divine Mercy Sunday
1612.February 20,1938. Today the Lord said to me, I have need of your sufferings to rescue souls.
O my Jesus, do with me as You please. I did not have the courage to ask the Lord Jesus for greater sufferings, because I had suffered so much the night before that I would not have been able to bear a drop more than what Jesus Himself gave me.
1613. Almost all night I had such violent pains that it seemed all my intestines were torn to pieces. I threw up the medicine I had taken.When I bowed my head down to the ground, I lost consciousnes, and I stayed like that for some time, with my head on the floor.When I came to, I became aware that my whole body was pressing on my head and face, and that I was covered with vomit.I thought it wold be the end of me.Dear Mother Superior(Irene) and Sister Tarcisca were trying to help me as best they could.Jesus demanded suffering, but not death.O my Jesus, do with me as You please. Only give me strength to suffer. Since Your strength supports me, I shall bear everything, O souls, how I love you!
(p.572. Notebook 6..Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska-Divine Mercy in My Soul ( Marian Press, Stockbridge MA 2011)
