The precise trick: how it was applied in the Exhortation Amoris Laetitia

Catholics are not aware of the false premise and inference in the liberal moral and salvation theology of the Catechism of the Catholic Church(1992).It is now expressed in Amoris Latitiae.
This is how the 'trick' works.

MORAL THEOLOGY
At first hypothetical cases are mentioned.Possible exceptions to the traditional moral teachings of the Church based on the 10 Commandments and the Gospels.
This is harmless speculation.There is no problem here.
Then it is presumed that these speculative cases are explicit.It is presumed that they are references to persons personally known in the present times.
Then it is presumed that these 'invisible but explicit cases' are known in general.They are known in the present times e.g 1960-2016.
So we have a premise: hypothetical cases are explicit and generally known in the present times.
Then comes the deadly inference.
They are exceptions to the traditional moral teachings of the Catholic Church.
So the new moral theology indicates that an un-married couple  living together could be in sin but we cannot judge them.Since there could be exceptions.
Where are the exceptions one may ask? There really are none.Since humanly speaking, in general, we cannot know of exceptions.
With this error we get the strange 'permutations and  possibilities' taught in moral theology at pontifical universities.
We also have the three conditions for mortal sin mentioned in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

The same ruse was used to eliminate the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS).

SALVATION THEOLOGY
Hypothetical cases are assumed to be explicit.The hypothetical cases mentioned are the baptism of desire and blood without the baptism of water and being saved in invincible ignorance (without faith and baptism).It is speculated that there could be possible exceptions to EENS in certain circumstances.This is harmless speculation.It is theoretical reasoning with good will.
Then it is presumed that these speculative cases are explicit, objectively seen. It is presumed that these cases are references to persons personally known in the present times.
So we have a premise : Hypothetical cases are explicit and generally known in the present times.
Then comes the deadly inference.
They are exceptions to the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
They are exceptions to the dogma EENS, to the Bible ( John 3.5,Mark 16:16),the Nicene Creed ( I believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins), the Athanasius Creed ( outside the Church there is no salvation)...
So every one does not need to be  a ' card carrying member' of the Church, it is said.Catholic salvation theology (soteriology) has been changed. So the Church's understanding of itself (ecclesiology) has also been changed. Our understanding of Christ( Christology) with reference to the Church has also been changed.
So the new theology says that when I meet a Hindu, Jew or Muslim, I cannot say that he is oriented to the fires of Hell ( as it was said in the 16th century), since he could be an exception( known).
Do you see the pattern?
Where are the exceptions you may ask? There are none!There are none since humanly speaking, in general, we cannot know of any exception.
So with this error in reasoning we have the Catechism of the Catholic Church ( CCC 1257)  saying God is not limited to the Sacraments ( as if this is something concrete and known in general for us).We have to read CCC 846 telling us all who are saved are saved through Jesus and the Church( since the baptism of desire etc refer to concrete cases, explicitly known, objectively seen on earth).CCC 846 on outside the Church there is no salvation cannot say that every one needs to be a formal member of the Church. It cannot say that the reference is to a dogma.Instead it calls the dogma an 'aphorism'.

Now Pope Francis assumes there are explicit and known in general, exceptions to the traditional teaching on adultery and concubinage.
Image result for Photo of someone amusedSo he says: '  Hence it is(sic) can no longer simply be said that all those in any “irregular” situation are living in a state of mortal sin and are deprived of sanctifying grace." (#301).
For him,and for Pope Benedict, the exception ( visible and general on earth) changes the rule ( on concubinage always being a mortal sin).-Lionel Andrades
