Dr.Maike Hickson does not get answers at the Vatican
It is my experience in many conversations with well-meaning, courteous and generous high-ranking Catholics with influence over Catholic discourse – clergymen and laymen alike – that when one starts asking such questions to them as were put here above, they often softly agree or at least do not really know how to respond amply and honestly. It is a sign for me that they, too, have been caught in this sort of skewed or attenuated teaching that is not fully based on Catholic truth and reality.-Maike Hickson
Dr.Maike Hickson has asked her souces about extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) and they do not want to answer.Since those who know the truth do not want to say that the magisterium has made a big mistake. Others do not want to say all non Catholics in 2017 are on the way to Hell according to Vatican Council II and other magisterial documents. The traditionalists do not want to say that they were wrong all these years about Vatican Council II and they made a mistake on doctrine and theology.They held the same position as the liberals and Masons. All this confusion could be removed for Maike Hickson if she realized that the magisterium made a theological and doctrinal error in the Fr. Leonard Feeney case and then repeated it with the excommunication of Archbishop Lefebvre. Hypothetical cases of the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignoranceI.I) are not exceptions to the dogma on outside the Church there is no salvation. Similarly LG 16,LG 8, LG14, UR 3, NA 2,GS 22, AG 11, AG 7 etc are not explicit examples of salvation outside the Churh. So Vatican Council II does not contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus as it was known to the missionaries in the 16th century. So there is no development with Vatican Council II as Pope Benedict said in March 2016. Is Maike Hickson willing to study this issue with this starting point? 1.BOD,BOB and I.I never were exceptions to Feeneyite EENS. 2.Lumen Gentium 16(invincible ignorance) etc are not exceptions to the the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church and the Syllabus of Errors. 3.Pope Benedict was interpreting Vatican Council II in 2016 with LG 16,LG 8, LG 14, NA 2, UR 3 etc as referring to known cases saved outside the Church. He has also accepted the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 which wrongly considered the baptism of desire as referring to visible and known people saved outside the Church. With all these complications, it is no wonder no responsible person wanted to answer her and displease the two popes and the Left. -Lionel Andrades
