Popes Benedict, Francis and Leo have interpreted Vatican Council II with an irrational premise and inference and a nontraditional conclusion : so also Fischella and Spadero
December 6, 2025They had a choice. They could have interpreted Vatican Council II with a rational premise and inference and then the conclusion would be traditional.
RATZINGER WAS SCHISMATIC
Cardinal Ratzinger could have done this at Vatican Council II in 1965. Then as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, he could have interpreted Vatican Council II rationally to support the SSPX. He did not clarify this issue in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
He then issued Summorum Pontificum hoping that the SSPX would accept Vatican Council II, interpreted rationally. The bait was the Latin Mass.
Then during the SSPX-Vatican Doctrinal Talks he did not decide to settle the issue by interpreting Vatican Council II with a rational premise and inference.
Pope Benedict and Pope Francis, both chose to interpret the Council with the false premise (invisible people are visible) and false inference (visible cases of salvation outside the Church, of LG 16 etc are objective exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus). So the false conclusion followed. Vatican Council II was seen as a break with the dogma EENS, the Athanasius Creed, the Syllabus of Errors etc. So there was ‘a new revelation’ in the Church. The Council was seen as ‘a revolution’ in the Church. So it was an opening to change faith, morals, liturgy, mission and ecclesiology in general.
All the books written by Popes Benedict, Francis and Leo are based upon the irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It would mean that they also interpreted the Creeds, old Councils and old Catechisms with the same mistake. This is not magisterial or apostolic.
POPE LEO'S NEW BOOK
Pope Leo has published a new book, ‘The Power of the Gospel – in 10 words’. He does not affirm John 3:6 and Mark 16: 16 which say all need the baptism of water for salvation and those who do not believe will be condemned. The Bible is aligned with Vatican Council II interpreted rationally.
He does not affirm Ad Gentes 7 in Vatican Council II. It says all need faith and baptism for salvation. We now know that invisible and hypothetical cases of LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II are not explicit exceptions for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and neither for Ad Gentes 7. So Vatican Council II is ecclesiocentric and in harmony with Tradition (ecumenism of return, Syllabus of Pope Pius IX). But Pope Leo does not affirm the Gospel here. Neither does he affirm it in harmony with the popes and magisterium over the centuries before 1949.
FISICHELLA, SPADERO IRRATIONAL
So today when it is pointed out that all the books on Vatican Council II published by Archbishop Rino Fisichella and Fr. Antonio Spadero sj, are written with the common false premise and inference to support the progressivist interpretation of Vatican Council II there is no denial from Paulo Ruffini, Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Communications and Andrea Tornielli, the Director of the Editorial Department of this Dicastery. They have been interpreting Vatican Council II, all these years, irrationally and not rationally.
Pope Leo does not interpret Vatican Council II rationally in harmony with the Athanasius Creed and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. We now know that Vatican Council II, rational, does not contradict the Athanasius Creed. But the popes and cardinals do not affirm the Athanasius Creed in public.
Since they interpret the baptism of desire irrationally their interpretation of the Nicene and Apostles Creed would be different from mine.
How can a pope interpret the Nicene and Apostles Creed differently ? This is not apostolic or magisterial. This is not the Gospel. – Lionel Andrades
