Ladislaus, you are projecting (which I noticed is your common MO when disagreeing with someone). I am not revelling my duplicity nor am I a baboon. Unless you want to call great saint Alphonsus who tells you this is de fide the same thing. As I simply hold on to what this saint has said.
I am a new member. I simply know as followed this forum for almost 10 years probably, I never joined before. Not of importance for this anyway.
You say- “Paragraph 2, which you and your ilk invariably take out of context, quite deliberately, is nothing more than a qualification of (or exception to) Paragraph 1.”
I agree my sir. Did anyone claim that BOB/BOD are rules rather than mere exceptions? Heck, most of the catholics are damned based on the Church Fathers and writers of previous centuries propose, so I never understood why you feenyites would think this to be some sort of safety net if all else fails. No, it is a mere unique gift Our Lord can bestow on people if He wishes.
It’s the principle of defending the
Church teaching.
It is ironic that you call me intellectually dishonest. Your teachers, the Dimond brothers do not deny catechism of council of trident nor one of saint pius the tenth contain BOD. As a matter a fact they confirm it is in 1917 canon law too. I would say they are intellectually honest on that point.
What they do afterwards is belittle them as fallible creations where as you just cannot grasp it is there. You just ignore it.
C’mon Lad, you know that calling someone baboon
is pathetic ad hominem and distraction. Calling you weird because you have some strange appeal to secrecy by calling a person pope who then signed all of the docuмents at Vatican II like Lumen Gentium, publicly recognised apostates as popes and used invalid/dubious sacraments even himself being validly ordained is a plain fact. Where does this weirdo theory leave us? Trying to determine at which point he lost the papacy? Or do you give him a free pass? You consider John Paul I false pope (so do I), but your pope gave homily on his funeral. You cannot make this stuff up.

Go for it lad if it makes you happy, but let’s stay on topic.
You are also projecting Rahner's "Anonymous Christian" theory on me. Where did I endorse that garbage?
Funny you mention Saint Fulgentius who spoke of
baptism of blood:
“No one can, without the sacrament of Baptism,
except those who, in the Catholic Church, without baptism, pour out their blood for Christ, receive the kingdom of heaven and life eternal." (The Rule of Faith 43).
Giovanni Berto, this is not unorthodox idea. It’s the idea unanimously thought by pre Vatican II theologians, contained in pretty much all manuals of moral theology I came across, commentaries, glossaries, catechisms, canon law etc. Well if they are all heterodox, I like that company over self proclaimed anonymous forum theologians.
Since your avatar is a picture of great saint, hear his story about it here:
