XavierSem keeps pushing this error that souls can be saved by belonging to the "soul" of the Church while remaining outside the Body. I pointed out that Pius XII taught the contrary, and that Msgr. Fenton also taught that this was an error.
So today I ran across these --
St. Augustine:
The Catholic Church alone is the body of Christ; the Holy Ghost gives life to no one who is out of this body.” (Epist. 185, § 50, Edit. Bened.)
St. Augustine:
a Christian ought to fear nothing so much as to be separated from the body of Christ (the Church). For, if he be separated from the body of Christ, he is not a member of Christ; if not a member of Christ, he is not quickened by his Spirit.” (Tract. xxvii. in Joan., n. 6, Col. 1992, tom. iii.)
XavierSem cited the Catechism of St. Pius X, but the Catechism is merely referring to people who are "on the way of (or path to) salvation" being drawn by the Holy Spirit, and that is in fact the teaching of the Council of Trent, that the Holy Spirit (which Pius XII taught is the soul of the Church) draws them toward the Church even while they remain outside.
