What Does the Choice of Exhortation
Presenters Tell Us?
- He (Cardinal Schonborn) drew an analogy with Lumen
In the same way, he suggested, there may be virtues and - Gentium,truth in relationships that fall short of the Church’s
- full vision of marriage as a permanent, lifelong union between
- a man a document of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65),
- which taught that there are “elements of sanctification
- and of truth” outside the visible boundaries of the Catholic
- Church.
Lionel: He is referring to Lumen Gentium 8 which says there are 'elements of sanctification and truth' in other religions. Cardinal Schonborn like Cardinal Ratzinger infers that LG 8 refers not to invisible for us cases, but personally known people ,saved without the baptism of water in the Catholic Church. So LG 8 for them contradicts and rejects the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. From here we get Pope Benedict's 'development of doctrine' on EENS.
Cardinal Schonborn is implying that if the Church'steaching on extra ecclesiam nulla salus can be changed with LG 8 then why not change other teachings of the Church.
Their entire new theology is based on mixing up whatis invisible as being visible and they get away with it.
It is important for us to affirm LG 8, LG 16, UR 3, NA2 etc as being invisible cases. They are hypothetical cases. So they cannot be an exception in 2016 to the 16th century missionaries interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.We cannot know of any hypothetical case which is objectively visible.
We must affirm that there is nothing in Vatican CouncilII ( including hypothetical LG 14) which contradicts extra ecclesiam nulla salus. -Lionel Andrades
