Vat II & SSPX & Sedes Agree on Salvation of Non-Catholics

  • Question - Can someone prove to me that the ecclesiology that all Tradtionalists organizations (SSPX and Sedevacates) push is not Tridentine ecclesiology but is really only Vatican II ecclesiology?




    Answer - Tridentine ecclesiology emphasized the visibility of the Church, teaching that the Catholic Church is a visible society ... against the Protestant heresies to the contrary. It was considered that only those were members of the Church who could be visibly identified as such through their reception of the Sacraments, profession of the true faith, and subjection to the Holy Father.  There were a couple of great articles referenced in the one sedevacantism thread (where PC2 and Don Paolo were having it out), one from Msgr. Fenton and another by a Father Lawlor.  Both gave great detailed histories of Traditional Catholic ecclesiology.
     
     Vatican II ecclesiology, however, has more of a concentric circle look to it, where the Church subsists in the Catholic Church and the core of the Church is the Catholic Church proper, but then people have various degree of invisible belonging to this Church, where they are invisibly in the Church while being visibly outside.
     
     Now, if you hold that non-Catholics can be saved, you must hold that they are in the Church, since there can be no salvation outside the Church.  So here you have a Church that consists of both actual Catholics, visibly united, as well as those who are invisibly united to and within the Church.  Which of these two ecclesiologies does this more resemble?

  • Here are excerpts from some dogmas on EENS and how they are responded to (in red) by those tradtionalists who teach that Jєωs, Mohamedans, Hindus, Buddhists, indeed person in all false religions, can be saved without wanting to be Catholic, or wanting to be baptized, or belief in Jesus Christ or the Holy Trinity, In fact they could even despise it all and be enemies of anything Catholic, and still be saved:
     
     
     Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, “Cantate Domino,” 1441, ex cathedra:
     “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jєωs or heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire ..and that nobody can be saved, … even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ[/b], unless he has persevered in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.”
    (pagans and Jєωs can be saved by their belief in a god that rewards, thus they are in the Church. They can’t be saved even if they shed their blood for Christ, but they can be saved by a belief in a god that rewards.)

     
     Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, Constitution 1, 1215, ex cathedra: “There is indeed one universal Church of the faithful, outside of which nobody at all is saved, …(Persons in all false religions can be part of the faithful by their belief in a God that rewards)
     
     Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam, Nov. 18, 1302, ex cathedra:
     “… this Church outside of which there is no salvation nor remission of sin… Furthermore, … every human creature that they by absolute necessity for salvation are entirely subject to the Roman Pontiff.” (Persons in all false religions by their belief in a God that rewards are inside the Church, so they can have remission of sin. They do not have to be subject to the Roman Pontiff because they do not even know that they have to be baptized Catholics, why further complicate things for tem with submission to the pope?)
     
     Pope Clement V, Council of Vienne, Decree # 30, 1311-1312, ex cathedra:
     “… one universal Church, outside of which there is no salvation, for all of whom there is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism…” (one lord, one faith by their belief in a God that rewards, and one invisible baptism by, you guessed it,  their belief in a god that rewards)
     
     Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Sess. 8, Nov. 22, 1439, ex cathedra:
     “Whoever wishes to be saved, needs above all to hold the Catholic faith; unless each one preserves this whole and inviolate, he will without a doubt perish in eternity.” ( the Catholic faith is belief in a God that rewards)
     
     Pope Leo X, Fifth Lateran Council, Session 11, Dec. 19, 1516, ex cathedra:
     “For, regulars and seculars, prelates and subjects, exempt and non-exempt, belong to the one universal Church, outside of which no one at all is saved, and they all have one Lord and one faith.” ( Just pick a few from the above excuses, from here on it’s a cake walk, just create your own burger with the above ingredients. You’ll be an expert at it in no time.)
     
     Pope Pius IV, Council of Trent, Iniunctum nobis, Nov. 13, 1565, ex cathedra: “This true Catholic faith, outside of which no one can be saved… I now profess and truly hold…”
     
     Pope Benedict XIV, Nuper ad nos, March 16, 1743, Profession of Faith: “This faith of the Catholic Church, without which no one can be saved, and which of my own accord I now profess and truly hold…”
     
     Pope Pius IX, Vatican Council I, Session 2, Profession of Faith, 1870, ex cathedra: “This true Catholic faith, outside of which none can be saved, which I now freely profess and truly hold…”
     
     Council of Trent, Session VI  (Jan. 13, 1547)
     Decree on Justification,
     Chapter IV.
     
     A description is introduced of the Justification of the impious, and of the Manner thereof under the law of grace.
     
     By which words, a description of the Justification of the impious is indicated,-as being a translation, from that state wherein man is born a child of the first Adam, to the state of grace, and of the adoption of the sons of God, through the second Adam, Jesus Christ, our Saviour. And this translation, since the promulgation of the Gospel, cannot be effected, without the laver of regeneration, or the desire thereof, as it is written; unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God (John 3:5). (this means you do not need to be baptized or have a desire to be baptized. You can be baptized invisible by desire or no desire, you can call no desire implicit desire, you can also receive water baptism with no desire, no, wait a minute that does not go in both directions, it only works for desire or if you have no desire at all. Come to think of it, just forget about all of it, persons in false religions can be justified by their belief in a god that rewards.)
     
     Chapter VII.
     
     What the justification of the impious is, and what are the causes thereof.
     
     This disposition, or preparation, is followed by Justification itself, which is not remission of sins merely, but also the sanctification and renewal of the inward man, through the voluntary reception of the grace, and of the gifts, whereby man of unjust becomes just, and of an enemy a friend, that so he may be an heir according to hope of life everlasting.
     
     Of this Justification the causes are these: the final cause indeed is the glory of God and of Jesus Christ, and life everlasting; while the efficient cause is a merciful God who washes and sanctifies gratuitously, signing, and anointing with the holy Spirit of promise, who is the pledge of our inheritance; but the meritorious cause is His most beloved only-begotten, our Lord Jesus Christ, who, when we were enemies, for the exceeding charity wherewith he loved us, merited Justification for us by His most holy Passion on the wood of the cross, and made satisfaction for us unto God the Father; the instrumental cause is the sacrament of baptism, which is the sacrament of faith, without which no man was ever justified;(except all persons in false religions, they can be justified by their belief in a god that rewards)
     
     
     
     Pope Eugene IV, The Council of Florence, “Exultate Deo,” Nov. 22, 1439, ex cathedra:  “Holy baptism, which is the gateway to the spiritual life, holds the first place among all the sacraments; through it we are made members of Christ and of the body of the Church.  And since death entered the universe through the first man, ‘unless we are born again of water and the Spirit, we cannot,’ as the Truth says, ‘enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:5].  The matter of this sacrament is real and natural water.” (Just ignore that language, all persons in false religions can be justified by their belief in a god that rewards)
     
     
     
     Council of Trent. Seventh Session. March, 1547. Decree on the Sacraments.
     On Baptism
     
     Canon 2. If anyone shall say that real and natural water is not necessary for baptism, and on that account those words of our Lord Jesus Christ: "Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (John 3:5), are distorted into some metaphor: let him be anathema.( any persons in false religions can be invisible baptized and justified by their belief in a god that rewards)
     
     
     Canon 5. If any one saith, that baptism is optional, that is, not necessary unto salvation; let him be anathema (the pope is also speaking here of the invisible baptism of persons in false religions that are baptized and justified by their belief in a god that rewards)

     
     Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis (# 22), June 29, 1943: “Actually only those are to be numbered among the members of the Church who have received the laver of regeneration and profess the true faith.”( the laver of regeneration can be had invisible and the true faith is  belief in a god that rewards)

     Pope Pius XII, Mediator Dei (# 43), Nov. 20, 1947: “In the same
     way, actually that baptism is the distinctive mark of all
     Christians, and serves to differentiate them from those who
     have not been cleansed in this purifying stream and
     consequently are not members of Christ
     orders sets the priest apart from the rest of the faithful who
     have not received this consecration.” ( person who believe in a god that rewards do not need the mark, but they are in the Church. Somehow)
     
     
     (Oh, I forgot, no one mentions it anymore, it is now out of fashion, so I did not include it above, invincible ignorance. If you are old fashioned, just throw in a few invinble ignorants up there with the rest of the ingredients)

    During the scourge of Arianism, the majority of the Church defected. A Pope offered a Semi-Arian theology. A bishop resisted.

    Hence,  there is a precedent for the "visible society" being not as easy to find as reading the sign on the door.

    During the scourge of Modernism, the majority of the Church defected. "Popes" offer Modernism. An archbishop resisted. The Catholic signage cannot be taken at face value. Just as in the times of Arianism, the "visible society" is not always easy to discern.

    Said Archbishop was a heretic too ,because he believed in salvation "outside the Church" (yes I'm being sarcastic, of course.)

    My question wasn't really answered, and yes the original question was from me.

  • The sarcasm is lost on me since I have not followed the debate.

    That said, Arianism is a precedent for heresy overwhelming the Church and making it hard to discern the authentic Church.

    My question [What I'm asking is for the proof that Tridentine ecclesiology absolutely doesn't allow for invisible membership.] wasn't really answered, and yes the original question was from me.
    Your question begs the question: Invisible to whom?

    If what I think you are asking is what you are asking, then I think with this question answered correctly, you will answer your own question, I think. ;)
