Can “perfect contrition” do that?

Snip from Bread of Life........

"I am not going to think it as difficult for a Catholic who has fallen into mortal sin but who, through his Faith, remembers his
Holy Communions, his Blessed Mother, his past confessions, God’s rich forgivenesses in the sacraments, to make an act of perfect love, as for a catechumen, who has not had yet the benefit of one of God’s sanctifying sacraments. But the very fact that the Church requires every mortal sin committed to be confessed, whether one is perfectly sorry for it or not, shows the Church has a maternal suspicion of this perfect act of love of God obtaining forgiveness apart from the Sacrament of forgiveness instituted by Christ."

Pope Boniface VIII's teaching in Unam Sanctam, the second sentence of opening paragraph states that: "We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins".

Those not yet baptized are "outside of her."

Seems like a good time to re-post evidence against the criminal +Cushing who started the whole smear campaign against the dogma and Fr. Feeney - and for his efforts was later elevated to Cardinal....

Archbishop of Boston Cushing, was made a Cardinal of the Catholic Church by Pope John XXXIII in 1958.
He was also one of the cardinal electors in the 1963 papal conclave, which selected Pope Paul VI.
He was on good terms with practically the entire Boston elite.
Cushing built useful(?) relationships with Jєωs, Protestants, and institutions outside the usual Catholic community.

At the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) Cushing played a vital role in drafting Nostra Aetate, the docuмent that officially absolved the Jєωs of deicide charge.

He was deeply committed to implementing the Council's reforms and promoting renewal in the Church.[16] In an unprecedented gesture of ecuмenism, he even encouraged Catholics to attend Billy Graham's crusades.
He was a member of the NAACP.
Oh, and his sister was married to a Jєω

Link April 1949 - Cushing states: “This absolute requirement of an explicit desire to join the Catholic Church, as a condition of salvation is clearly wrong. All theologians hold that faith and charity or perfect contrition involving an implicit desire to join the Church suffice for salvation.” (Sounds like LoT, Ambrose, &etc.)

Nov. 1970  - Cardinal Cushing receives praise from the Jєωs

Jєωιѕн leaders expressed sorrow today over the death yesterday at the age of 75 of Richard Cardinal Cushing. Archbishop of Boston since 1944 and a friend of Israel and the Jєωs. Philip E. Hoffman, president of the American Jєωιѕн Committee, said “Jєωιѕн people throughout the world will always remember with satisfaction Cardinal Cushing’s efforts to achieve an honest and meaningful statement on the Roman Catholic Church and the Jєωs five years ago in Rome at the Second Vatican Council.” Cardinal Cushing he said, “was at the forefront in this tremendously important endeavor,” and “the positive results of Vatican Council II will be a lasting memorial to the Cardinal.” World Jєωry. Mr. Hoffman said, “has lost a friend and champion.” Seymour Graubard, national chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. said Jєωs the world over will always remember the dramatic plea Cardinal Cushing made on the floor of Vatican Council II five years ago in Rome. “His distinctive voice echoed through the chamber as he asked the Council to “cry out” against “any inequity, hatred or persecution of our Jєωιѕн brothers,”

The UAHC official added that Cardinal Cushing “was a liberal in the truest sense of the word, practicing the principles of ecuмenism long before the term became fashionable.”

Cardinal Cushing, whose efforts at ecuмenism extended to ѕуηαgσgυє oratory, received a rare tribute when he implored Vatican Council II to reject the doctrine of Jєωιѕн guilt for the death of Jesus. The bishops, who normally do not applaud speakers, did so for him.

Link July 1977 - Fr. Feeney, silenced in 1949, excommunicated in 1953 for condemning the teachings of Boston College that persons outside the Church could attain salvation after death, was reinstated in 1972 without having to recant his position.

Cushing's sister married a Jew, and it was likely that he was a crypto himself.  He was a massive religious indifferentist and EXPLICITLY denied EENS:  "No salvation outside the Church?  Nonsense.  Nobody's gonna tell me that Christ came to die for any select group."  I guess that this "nobody" would include the Church.

Even then, Cushing didn't really care, one way or the other, since he mostly was concerned about fund-raising ... until one of the Kennedy boys attend a talk by Father Feeney and, knowing Cushing personally, went to him demanding that Cushing shut Father down.  Father was also converting a fair number of Jews at Ha'va'd ... and so the Jews were also on him about the matter.  Were it not for the complaints, Cushing wasn't the type who cared about doctrine.
