SJB said:"Here we are. I've never heard of someone having to recant part of a catechism they did not write."
No, neither are they obligated to teach it if it teaches heresy. And if they are smart enough to figure out that Vatican II is heretical, how can they not see another variant of the same heresy in this catechism they all teach?
Straight down the line, they act as if our problems began in 1958, wearing these rose-colored glasses, painting this picture of never-never land: "Lines for confession around the block! Everyone had lollipops! Birds sang Gregorian chant!"
It's not very convincing, and neither is the blind patriotism of CMRI, which shows that they are not coming from a place of truth. Although it's not heresy to be patriotic, it is odd considering the result of the separation of Church and state should be evident to all by now, as should the fact that we are run by communists, including many Jews, who control all major political parties. This should be shouted from the rooftops -- CMRI buries it. That is what first put me on their scent.
As for the Church in the 40's and 50's, it was far from being ideal. It was plagued with a communist mentality, and with liberal ideas about salvation outside its gates. In this country, we have had the special "privilege" to have been taught a heretical definition of EENS before anyone else in the catechism of Cardinal Gibbons, since the 1880's.
I know it has taken root because an 80-year old man I was friendly with told me on the phone that he believed a Protestant can be saved if his parents are constantly influencing him against the Catholic Church. That's like saying that someone can be saved if he watches a lot of TV, because hey, it's not his fault the Jews are warping his brain! Luckily, if this friend of mine is dead -- he has stopped calling me after what I took to be his anger over my denial of Fatima -- I was at least able to correct him on this.
I believe that the reason God has allowed America to be punished in this way is because we have blinded ourselves as to our betrayal of Christ and the Church, that instead of mourning our exile in this ʝʊdɛօ-Masonic Babylon, we celebrate it and demand the rest of the world follow our lead in following revolutionary, Masonic principles. That is what Cardinal Gibbons did, and his mentality infected many, many American Catholics, probably the vast majority of them. It infects the American sedes today. CMRI has a whole CD devoted to patriotic hymns, sung by the Singing Nuns:

I'll bet you God HATES the hypocrisy of many American Catholics. But that's for another thread. I get very excited when bashing Mystery Babylon. When I look at that flag, it's like a bull seeing red. It just sends out waves of ominousness.
As for how the liberal sedevacantists are teaching this EENS heresy specifically, see the other 15-page thread about salvation outside the Church.
