If Catholics can accept that Pope Pius XII, Cardinal Ottaviani and later Archbishop Lefebvre made a mistake instead of Fr. Leonard Feeney - the interpretation of Vatican Council II changes.
Fr. Leonard Feeney was saying that the baptism of desire(BOD) was not an exception to extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) and the rest were saying it was.
The Magisterium was saying physically invisible cases of BOD were visible exceptions to the need for all to be incorporated into the Church as members for salvation. They were exceptions to the dogma EENS.
Fr. Leonard Feeney was saying hypothetical cases could not be exceptions to EENS and so there was no salvation outside the Church.
The Council Fathers at Vatican Council II accepted the irrational premise, of Pope Pius XII.This was also accepted by Pope Benedict(Fr.Joseph Ratzinger) and Archbishop Lefebvre at Vatican Council II(1965).Today this is the common and official interpretation of Vatican Council II.
Now suppose we look at Vatican Council II from the perspective of Fr. Leonard Feeney. Hypothetical cases are just hypothetical.They are not objective exceptions to all needing to be members of the Church for salvation. They cannot contradict EENS and the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church.
Then reason it out. There will be nothing in Vatican Council II to contradict the Syllabus of Errors and the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church.
This means the Council Fathers in 1965 made a mistake.The Pope from Pius XII to Paul VI made a mistake. The mistake has continued right up to Pope Francis.
So from now onwards we can re-interpret Vatican Council II as being in harmony with the strict interpretation of the dogma EENS.
It was Fr. Leonard Feeney and the St.Benedict Centers of his time who were correct .It was the Archbishop of Boston,Cardinal Richard Cushing, the Rector of Boston College and the Jesuits, the Holy Office(CDF) 1949 and Pope Pius XII who were wrong.They were in heresy for rejecting the dogma EENS, a de fide teaching of the Church.They did it by using an irrational premise(invisible people are visible).
They have been responsible for the New Theology,which is based upon a false premise.It was supported by Cardinal Ratzinger in the Catechism of the Catholic Church(1994) and in other magisterial documents.It makes Vatican Council II a rupture with Tradition when the Council really is not if the error is avoided.-Lionel Andrades
In a prepared statement for the press the former Jesuit (Fr.Leonard Feeney) added: "The conscience difficulty is that the diocese of Boston, under the auspices of Archbishop Cushing, and Boston College, under the auspices of Father John J. McEloney, S.J., both notably ignorant in the field of Catholic theology ... are teaching that there is salvation outside the Catholic Church." - Father Feeney Is Dismissed From Jesuit Order by Rome
