I've avoided posting in this thread so far, but anyway. Bowler, I agree with you as you know, on the necessity of explicit faith in Christ for salvation. That position cannot be condemned, and it is still the majority opinion, not only among Doctors and Saints, where it is practically unanimous, but even among theologians, even after the Holy Office Letter, as of around 1950.
Why is it that I have repeatedly stated this very thing yet bowler continues to say I don't hold the common opinion, which is explicit faith in the four items vs the two. What is NOT condemned is either position, and certainly not the former!.
My question has always been the same, do you restrict your belief to that of St. Thomas of Aquinas? Not once have you said that you do. It was that simple to answer, yet not once did you say, yes.
You still do not say it.
I said it many times and in many places. Even back in the days when certain "feeneyites" we're calling St. Thomas a heretic!

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
