    I would have to read the article before commenting.  Do you have a link to it?  I looked on their website but I did not see it.  


    It was supposedly published 21 years ago (lol!). I don't think it was ever online.

    This is what the Dimonds say:

    The CMRI twice published in their Quarterly Magazine an article entitled, “The Salvation of Those Outside the Church.”  It was published in the Winter 1992 issue of The Reign of Mary, The CMRI’s publication (Vol. XXIV, No. 70, p. 10.).  

    I suppose you would have to call up the CMRI.

    You are the accuser here.  I am not accusing the CMRI of anything.  If you believe they are professing heresy, the onus is on you to gather the doumentation to prove it.

    I do not trust anything that the Dimond's say, so unless they have scanned the text, there is nothing they can offer to me.

    How is stating the fact that the CMRI published an article titled "The Salvation of Those Outside the Church" which contradicts the dogma speculating?

    If true, I agree it is an unfortunate title, yet it does not necessarily mean a denial of the dogma. It seems that "outside" has been used meaning "not a member" by some others as well:

    Quote from: A. Tanquery
    "(a) It is necessary by a necessity of means to belong to the soul of the Church: for this means nothing other than that faith and charity, or the state of grace, is necessary in the present order of things; which all Christians concede. Now, any adult who is sincerely following the dictates of his conscience, can attain to these dispositions, with the help of God's grace, as is expounded in the Tr. de Gratia [i.e. his own treatise on Grace], (no. 88).

    "(b) It is equally necessary by the necessity of means to belong to the body of the Church at least in voto, i.e. to have a sincere desire of entering the body of the Church; however, in the case of those who do not know [or recognize] the true Church of Christ, an implicit intention [votum] is sufficient; i.e. that intention which is included in a perfect act of contrition or of love of God, by which one sincerely wills to keep his commandments; and since one of the divine commandments is to embrace the Church, he who loves God wills implicitly to carry out this command.

    "(c) However, it is not necessary by a necessity of means to belong to the body of the Church in fact, but it is only necessary by a necessity of precept; and therefore, he who remains outside the Church inculpably is not damned by that very fact, but can be saved, granting the conditions we have posited." (A. Tanquerey, S.S. Synopsis theologiae dogmaticae fundamentalis, Treatise "De Ecclesia Christi", ch. 1, no. 161 (Tornaci: Desclee, 1899), p. 444.


    Can you produce an authority who explains the dogma as meaning membership is absolutely necessary?


    It would be comparatively easy for us to be holy if only we could always see the character of our neighbours either in soft shade or with the kindly deceits of moonlight upon them. Of course, we are not to grow blind to evil

    Yes and I will take the Athanasian Creed, the infallible definitions, and what all the Saints said over what this guy or some other recent "modern theologians" say any day.

    Quote from: SJB

    I already said I admit bod/bob.

    But as already shown ad infinitum, people today here and now believe what no Saint ever taught and what the Church has never taught, such as people in invincible ignorance being saved IN false religions without any supernatural faith or knowledge of the Trinity or Incarnation.

    So yes that IS denying the dogma and believing in salvation outside the Church.

    The intention was not to smear.

    I find it shocking that a traditional priest would consider salvation for a non-Catholic a possibility.

    Why do you find it shocking? Most traditional priests believe like he does.


    And what do you think about that?


    I don't like when priests say that people can be saved in false religions without the faith, but most priests believe this, including most traditional priests. I remember Bishop Fellay talking about a Buddhist who had never heard about the faith, and he said that somehow the Buddhist without the faith could be in a state of grace. That bugged me. This is not baptism of desire, it is different because they believe that people can just magically be in a state of grace and be saved without the faith and without even desiring to be baptized.

    Please pray for the repose of my soul.

    I just found the quote I remembered and Fellay said it was a Hindu, not a Buddhist. Sorry.

    Well, that is obviously wrong. Supernatural faith and charity have been required at all times for all men. That is de fide.

    Yes and as shown in the video posted in this thread, that's what that priest believes in.

    It was supposedly published 21 years ago (lol!). I don't think it was ever online.

    This is what the Dimonds say:

    The CMRI twice published in their Quarterly Magazine an article entitled, “The Salvation of Those Outside the Church.”  It was published in the Winter 1992 issue of The Reign of Mary, The CMRI’s publication (Vol. XXIV, No. 70, p. 10).  

    I suppose you would have to call up the CMRI.



    If anyone gets a copy of the 1992 Reign of Mary, it would be
    great if they could post a scan of page 10 here on this thread.

    Most readers won't go to the trouble of researching it.  

    I can understand why the Dimond "brothers" (they're not monks)
    would mention the date and issue but not post the content.  For
    them, only talking ABOUT the article serves their purpose, and failing
    to quote it directly gives them the 'freedom' to provide their own
    interpretation, which can include their bias and it can omit words or
    concepts contained in the actual article that pose an 'inconvenience'
    for the Dimond "brothers" (they're not monks), in the message
    they want to promote.  

    For example, the Dimond siblings say they are "brothers" and that
    they're in this "monastery" (MHFM), but they are objectively not
    monks, so it would be inconvenient for their message, that is, their
    propaganda, for them to have on their website, "We are not monks."
    For if they were to say, We are not monks on their website it
    would be the truth.  And since they don't say that, they are
    concealing the truth, which is a kind of lie.  So they "kind of lie," by
    omission.

    If they "kind of lie" about themselves, it is not much of a stretch to
    find them "kind of lying" about others too, like CMRI, for example.

    Therefore, the answer lies in whether the 1992 issue says what is
    being reported, or whether it says something else.

  • A summary of the Winter 2004 issue of the Reign of Mary is available online here.  There is no article entitled "The Salvation of Those Outside the Church" but there is one called "Baptism of Desire and Blood."  The summary says:

    Baptism of Desire and of Blood
    From the teachings of the Popes, the Council of Trent, the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the Roman Martyrology, the Fathers, Doctors and Theologians of the Church
    Of late, His Excellency has been clarifying Church teaching on the necessity of Baptism. As we can see from the following quotes, it is necessary for salvation to belong to the Catholic Church — at least by desire. It must also be remembered that without faith and supernatural charity, salvation is impossible, whether one has received the Sacrament of Baptism or not. To the adult who seeks to know and do the Will of God, sufficient grace is given to do what is necessary for salvation.

    Also, on the Articles Page there is an article of the same title and subtitle as the one above.  The full article is here.

    What makes someone a monk? How is one officially considered to be a real monk or not?

  • I have the issue in question here at my home, in my home library.

    It doesn't say anything that hasn't been hashed over here already on the various threads.  I am in the process of scanning the 5 pages and if I can format them so they are readable I will post them.  The article was written by Rev. Fr. Noel Barbara.
    Please pray for my soul.

  • The CMRI & SSPX & SSPV believers at in "BOD of those who do not explicitly want to be Catholics", are denying ALL of the Doctors, Saints, and dogmatic decrees. Here is an actual example, notice that the individual described does not explicitly want to be a Catholic, nor does he desire to be baptized, nor does he even believe in Christ or His Church:

    From the book  Against the Heresies, by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre:

    1. Page 216: “Evidently, certain distinctions must be made.  Souls can be saved in a religion other than the Catholic religion (Protestantism, Islam, Buddhism, etc.), but not by this religion.  There may be souls who, not knowing Our Lord, have by the grace of the good Lord, good interior dispositions, who submit to God...But some of these persons make an act of love which implicitly is equivalent to baptism of desire.  It is uniquely by this means that they are able to be saved.” END

    There is no Father, nor Doctor, nor Saint that ever taught this! It is opposed to the Athanasian Creed, and all of the other dogmatic decrees on EENS. AND yet, the majority of believers in BOD subscribe to this belief! So why do they quote say St. Thomas on one hand, when they deny him with the other?

    They do so because they are liberals, pluralists, rationalists and modernists (just like the Vatican II sect) concerning this specific subject.

    It is undeniable.
