Traditionalists and sedevantists don't want to offend Muslims : no Catholic martyrdom

Related imageSt. Teresa of Avila as a youth, along with her brother Rodrigo, left their home one day to go to the land of the Moors, the area where Muslims were living in Spain.They wanted to be martyred for Christ and His Church. On the way out of Avila, they were discovered by an uncle and that ended their chance to go immediately to Heaven.
Today Catholics in Europe do not have to travel far to go immediately to Heaven.
The opportunity is conveniently available throughout Europe and the USA but religious leaders, including traditionalist Catholics, want a pass.
Worse still they are misleading lay Catholics , on doctrine, and have accepted the liberal  theology on salvation, on Islam, for example, which is irrational, non traditional and heretical.

Related imageThe SSPX bishops nor their lay supporters are willing to say in public that Islam is not a path to salvation according to Vatican Council II (LG 14, AG 7) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1257, 846,845).Even lay leaders of Catholic political organisations are confused.
The priests of the Franciscans of the Immaculate and Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) are also staying shy.They know the Council states all need faith and baptism for salvation and Muslims, Jews and Hindus do not have it.

Related imageThose who are not affirming the Faith have a comfortable life.There is a high standard of living. They have cars, the opportunity to travel and study and life is peaceful.
If they affirmed Ad Gentes 7 in public it would call for a change in lifestyle.
I am thinking of Christopher Ferrara, Michael J.Matt, Roberto De Mattei, the correspondents of Rorate Caeili, the sedevacantists Bishop Donald Sanborn and Fr. Anthony Cekada and the sedevacantist blogger at Introibo Ad Altare Dei (who does not write under his real name) who are all accepting liberal theology.
Then there are the conservatives who do not want to be martyred.John Martignoni says the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance are not explicit and so they cannot be relevant or an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).He is correct. Fine at least he is clear and honest here.

Yet he is not going to comment on Vatican Council II ( LG 16 etc) not  being an exception to the strict interpretation of EENS.He would be contradicting his  Archbishop and many diocesan offices (Religious Education, Evangelisation).Through their responsibilities they hold their allegiance to the USCCB. So he does not choose persecution.
Related imageIt would be obvious to the apologist John Martignoni that the excommunication of Fr. Leonard Feeney was a mistake. There cannot be any known exception to all needing the baptism of water in the Church.We cannot know any one outside the Church, who will be saved without being a formal member of the Church.
But if Martignoni supports Feeneyism he would be saying all Jews and Muslims today need to convert into the Church to avoid Hell.So he says nothing.

Traditionalists are not saying that Vatican Council II agrees with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and Fr. Leonard Feeney was correct : no comment on Islam and salvation http://eucharistandmission.blogspot.it/2015/11/tradtionalists-are-not-saying-that.html

So many have committed suicide in Paris since Catholic religious leaders have not told them there is a big surprise waiting for them : SSPX is prudently silent too

Michael Matt's response to the Paris terror is the same as Pope Francis

The new theology of the sedevacantists and traditionalists like that of the liberals says all Muslims do not need to convert into the Catholic Church
