POPE LEO AFFIRMS THE BIBLE, THE COUNCIL, THE CATECHISM AND THE DOGMA EENS WHICH SAY IN HEAVEN THERE ARE ONLY CATHOLICS.
16.03.2026POPE LEO AFFIRMS THE BIBLE, THE COUNCIL, THE CATECHISM AND THE DOGMA EENS WHICH SAY IN HEAVEN THERE ARE ONLY CATHOLICS.
Pope Leo affirms the Bible (Mk.16:16), the Council (AG 7), the Catechism (846) and the dogma EENS which say in Heaven there are only Catholics.For him Vatican Council II says outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation (AG 7 is not contradicted by LG 16).He interprets LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II rationally as being hypothetical, implicit and theoretical. So they are not objective examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church in 1965-2026.
When Cardinals Tobin, Cupich, Roche, O’Malley, Radcliffe and McElroy interpret Vatican Council II rationally like Pope Leo, they no more are liberal.
The New Evangelization becomes Ecclesiocentric and Christocentric.
Orthodoxy depends upon LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, and GS 22 being physically invisible and not visible. They are implicit and not explicit.
For Pope Leo, the Bible, Vatican Council II, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church like the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed and the Syllabus of Pius IX, all say, outside the Catholic Church, Jesus’ Mystical Body, there is no salvation from eternal death. You are either a Catholic or lost forever, at the time of death on earth.
So when I meet a non Catholic, I know he is oriented to Hell, not because I can judge, but because Pope Leo and Magisterial Documents, interpreted rationally, say so.
I follow the Magisterium of Vatican Council II and all the Catechisms and Creeds, interpreted rationally and so traditionally. There is a hermeneutic of continuity with the Church Fathers and the Apostles. Schism is a mortal sin and I avoid it. I simply follow what the Catholic Church has always taught and which is in line with Vatican Council II. – Lionel Andrades
