What does the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Second Vatican Council teach on BOD and EENS? Discuss on this thread.

Lumen Gentium, Light to the Nations: "14. This Sacred Council wishes to turn its attention firstly to the Catholic faithful. Basing itself upon Sacred Scripture and Tradition, it teaches that the Church, now sojourning on earth as an exile, is necessary for salvation. Christ, present to us in His Body, which is the Church, is the one Mediator and the unique way of salvation. In explicit terms He Himself affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism(124) and thereby affirmed also the necessity of the Church, for through baptism as through a door men enter the Church. Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by Christ, would refuse to enter or to remain in it, could not be saved.

They are fully incorporated in the society of the Church who, possessing the Spirit of Christ accept her entire system and all the means of salvation given to her, and are united with her as part of her visible bodily structure and through her with Christ, who rules her through the Supreme Pontiff and the bishops. The bonds which bind men to the Church in a visible way are profession of faith, the sacraments, and ecclesiastical government and communion. He is not saved, however, who, though part of the body of the Church, does not persevere in charity. He remains indeed in the bosom of the Church, but, as it were, only in a "bodily" manner and not "in his heart."(12*) All the Church's children should remember that their exalted status is to be attributed not to their own merits but to the special grace of Christ. If they fail moreover to respond to that grace in thought, word and deed, not only shall they not be saved but they will be the more severely judged.(13*)

Catechumens who, moved by the Holy Spirit, seek with explicit intention to be incorporated into the Church are by that very intention joined with her. With love and solicitude Mother Church already embraces them as her own." https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/docuмents/vat-ii_const_19641121_lumen-gentium_en.html

Ad Gentes, On the Missionary Activity of the Church: "7. This missionary activity derives its reason from the will of God, "who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Himself a man, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself as a ransom for all" (1 Tim. 2:45), "neither is there salvation in any other" (Acts 4:12). Therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door. Therefore those men cannot be saved, who though aware that God, through Jesus Christ founded the Church as something necessary, still do not wish to enter into it, or to persevere in it."(17) Therefore though God in ways known to Himself can lead those inculpably ignorant of the Gospel to find that faith without which it is impossible to please Him (Heb. 11:6), yet a necessity lies upon the Church (1 Cor. 9:16), and at the same time a sacred duty, to preach the Gospel. And hence missionary activity today as always retains its power and necessity." http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/docuмents/vat-ii_decree_19651207_ad-gentes_en.html

Catechism of the Catholic Church 161, On the Necessity of Faith: Believing in Jesus Christ and in the One who sent him for our salvation is necessary for obtaining that salvation. "Since "without faith it is impossible to please [God]" and to attain to the fellowship of his sons, therefore without faith no one has ever attained justification, nor will anyone obtain eternal life 'But he who endures to the end.'"http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/161.htm

CCC 846-848. On the Dogma of EENS and the Magisterium's understanding: "Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.336

847 Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.337
848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."

Vatican II scandalously reformulates EENS dogma.  What used to be "no salvation outside the Church" becomes no salvation for those outside the Church who are aware that it's the true Church and refuse to enter it.  So, what is that, a few handfuls of Satanists?

Unfortunately, the implicit corollary is heretical:  those outside the Church who are not aware that it's the true Church can be saved, i.e. some outside the Church CAN be saved.

Now, is this heretical implied corollary explicitly stated here?  No.  Technically speaking, it's a true statement that those who are aware that the Church is the true Church and refuse to enter it cannot be saved.

So ... the deLugo formulation is also scandalous.

Council of Florence:  "Jews, heretics, schismatics cannot be saved"
deLugo:  "Jews, heretics, shismatics ... can be saved"

It is absolutely scandalous and harmful to faith to word-for-word contradict a dogmatic definition.

Seriously, deLugo, could not have found a way to articulate his position without doing this?

At least say something like, "there are some people who are materially Jєωιѕн but are formally Catholic" or some other distinction like that.  You HAVE TO SAY that these people are actually Catholics and are within the Church.

According to this theory, there are some who merely appear to be Jews but are really (unbeknownst even to themselves) Catholics.  This, in a nutshell, is in fact Karl Rahner's "Anonymous Christianity".  These Jews themselves will perhaps be more surprised than anyone else to come to the realization when they die that they were actually Catholics the entire time.
