Very solid video from those who shall not be mentioned.  I used to be more open to offering prayers in private for departed non-Catholics, but the papal teachings cited here are pretty conclusive.  I still believe that one could pray for them "to have converted" before their deaths, as that does no harm to Catholic dogma, since it's clear in the manner of prayer that one believes that they could not have been saved without such a conversion.  Recall how the "Latin Mass Society" in England even dared to offer a Mass for the repose of the soul of Elizabeth (an illegitimate monarch based on the decree of Pope St. Pius V).

Thanks Lad for extrapolating on my point and for backing up the EENS Dogma and pointing out the misrepresentation of PV. 

2V and PV my mentioning of Implicit "BOD" has almost everything to do with this topic so my mentioning it was not out of turn but even then I mentioned it in passing because this is often the way that many people try to get non-Catholics into Heaven.  It's either that or the hippie loving "everyone goes to Heaven eventually!" heresy and nonsense that was condemned in Antiquity.  But I'll refrain from mentioning it further and try to focus on the "meat" of the video presented. 

My grandma and others in my family died outside The Church.  Do I just deny Dogma because I'd rather think they went to Heaven?  No.  Do I hold on to a false hope that they made it just because it would make me feel better to think that?  No.  Do I pray for people who visibly died outside The Church?  No.  Doing any of these things is trying to brush EENS off to the side and ignore it in place of a worldly people above God mindset.  I have to put aside human respect and sentiment in order to glorify God and obey Him through His Church.  Some deaths can be hard to get over, I understand, but pray for the strength to accept it without denying Dogma. 

You brought up the correct point that those who go to Hell choose to go there.  Yes, and they do this by living a sinful life and living (and eventually dying) outside The Church. Catholics in a state of mortal sin when they die of course also go to Hell so I'm not saying all Catholics go to Heaven or anything like that. 

I pray for the souls in Purgatory often as I know prayer will benefit them and those that are still breathing that are outside The Church so that they can convert before they die. 

To be fair, he wasn't the first one to bring up BOD.  Let's not continue down that path.

EENS-denial is heresy, as the dogma has been solemnly defined no fewer than 3 times, each time with increasing precision as various heretics tried to worm their way out of having to accept it.

What isn't heresy is Baptism of Desire (as held by the Doctors), but this video wasn't about that subject.  Now, when people use the TERM "Baptism of Desire" to extend it in order to gut EENS dogma, they're not really promoting the teaching of varous Doctors.  For everyone who uses the term BoD, you'll find a different definition of it, a different understanding of what is is and how it works, under what conditions and works, and to whom it can apply.  In the end it's just a catch-all term used by anyone who doesn't want to accept EENS dogma, the only common denominator being that the Sacrament of Baptism is not necessary for salvation (which is heresy).  99% of BoDers are Pelagian heretics or else deny the dogma that the Sacraments are necessary for salvation.

In any case, this video is not about BoD, as people like Elizabeth were in fact validly baptized, and the papal references were all to deceased heretics (who by defintion are baptized).

I think the issue was more about calling those who encourage prayer for non Catholics heretics indiscriminately.

[The most Holy Roman Church] firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart `into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels' (Matt. 25:41), unless before the end of life the same have been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong that only to those remaining in it are the sacraments of the Church of benefit for salvation, and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of Christian service produce eternal reward, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.

No, there were people mentioned (Fr. Jenkins for example) who believe that private prayer after death was allowed by the Church. Didn't you think this was okay at one time?  Granted, there were others who literally said they were among the Faithful Departed which is a different story (Taylor Marshall), but some just said to pray.

How was that indiscriminate?  Comments made by the individuals to whom he referred to as heretics clearly indicated that they believed heretics could be saved even without having converted.  That is in fact heresy, as the contrary was clearly taught dogmatically by the Council of Florence.

BOD doesn't apply to baptized Protestants, right?
