Read carefully, any of you defending the sede groups that I am talking about, for I was very precise, I said that they teach that people can be saved without baptism and Christ in any way shape or form, that they teach that the dogmatic Athanasian Creed means the complete opposite of what it says.
It says nothing about baptism of desire of the catechumen, which I consider an innocuous theory, other than that it has been used as a stepping stone and morphed into salvation without baptism and Christ in any way shape or form.
The 1917 Code of Canon Law is very clear on the topic:
CAN. 1239 § 2. Catechumeni qui nulla sua culpa sine baptismo moriantur, baptizatis accensendi sunt."
Catechumens who, through no fault of their own, die without Baptism,
are to be treated as baptized."
The Sacred Canons by Rev. John A. Abbo. St.T.L., J.C.D., and Rev. Jerome D. Hannan, A.M., LL.B., S.T.D., J.C.D.
Commentary on the Code:"The reason for this rule is that they are justly supposed to have met death
united to Christ through Baptism of Desire."
May I inquire of which "sede groups" you are referring? And if at all possible, a reference to the statement made?
