WHY DO CATHOLICS HAVE TO ACCEPT THE RICHARD CUSHING DOCTRINE: VATICAN REOPEN THE BOSTON CASE


Why do we Catholics have to believe in a made-in-USA doctrine that originated in the 1940’s in Boston.We are under no obligation.Since it is not a Christian Revelation nor part of the deposit of the faith. Instead it is the creation of Archbishop Richard Cushing and the Jesuit community there.

When you ask a Catholic today if everyone needs to enter the Catholic Church he could answer yes.Then he could add the mantra ‘except for those in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire’.

Yet before the birth of Richard Cushing the Church always taught that everyone with no exception needed to explicitly enter the Catholic Church to go to Heaven and avoid Hell.

After the Richard Cushing error became widespread an American Jesuit priest, helped include the confusing line (mantra) in Vatican Council II (LumenGentium 16). He instituionalised the Richard Cushing interpretation of the ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

But in LG 16 he did not use the noun explicit nor the adverb explicitly and so he was not faithful really to this new doctrine. Vatican Council II does not say LG refers to explicit salvation.

If it did it would be heresy.

So if we interpret LG 16 as did the popes and Councils of the past, then LG 16 (invincible ignorance etc) would refer not to explicit but implicit salvation.It refers only to a possibility, ‘in certain circuмstances’(Letter of the Holy Office 1949) and known to God only.

After the 1940’s a major change would be brought into the Catholic Church all over the world by the acceptance of the Richard Cushing doctrine on salvation.

Discerning Catholics ask why do they have to accept this pre-Vatican Council II teaching from Boston. Why do we have to interpret Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church according to the American archbishops reinterpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

If we reject it there is a lot of material in the Catechism and Vatican Council II which is in harmony with extra ecclesiam nulla salus as taught through the centureis by the popes,Councils and saints.

Vatican reopen the Boston case. Justice delayed is justice denied. The ex cathedra dogma says everyone needs to be a visible member of the Church. So does Vatican Council II, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Letter of the Holy Office 1949. Fr. Leonard Feeney affirmed the infallible teaching. He had integrity and courage. Was the Archbishop of Boston in heresy? Are the Jesuits at Boston College still in heresy?
