It's now ninety four years since the Virgin Mary appeared to the three children at Fatima.
In almost a century the Church has failed to consecrate Russia or promote the five saturdays of reparation.
In the meantime secular humanism has become the world's religion, especially in the economically more developed world.
I have just finished reading the story of the St. Benedict's Center in Cambridge, Mass, where Father Leonard Feeney taught the Faith. Fr. Feeney was ultimately dismissed as a Jesuit but his words contained in a letter dated August 10, 1949, to the General of the Society of Jesus ring true today.
"The more I express my distress and suffering to see the Catholic Faith disappear from among the Catholics of the United States, because of the heretical teachings of my brothers of the Society of Jesus, the more do my enemies, who are betraying their Faith and their sacred vows of fidelity to the Catholic doctrine and to His Holinesss, the Pope, find themselves supported in their tyranical measures by the decrees and the disciplinary measures directed against me and proceeding from Your Paternity." (Trans from the French.)
In May of the same year he had written the General of the Society,
"If Your Paternity does not do this (investigate at once the orthodoxy of the Jesuit Provincial) it means the ruin of the Faith in this country, due to the negligence of our own order."
How prophetic were Fr. Feeney's words. He realized that the Jesuits had the power to stop the Liberalization of the Roman Church, but history now suggests they were prominent in the promotion of Liberalism.
Only six years now to the centenary of Fatima. Only six years to repent and be converted. God give me the strength to repent.

ReplyDeleteIts a mortal sin to deny the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. It is a sacrilege to receive the Eucharist in this condition- Fr. Gabrielle, priest of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate
Novus Ordo priest affirms rigorist interpretation of dogma and also Vatican Council II
An Italian priest who offered the Novus Ordo Mass in Italian today morning at the Salus Populi Romani chapel in the Basilica of St. Mary Majors, Rome, said it was a mortal sin to deny an ex cathedra dogma like the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady or extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Fr. Gabrielle said it was a sacrilege to receive the Eucharist in this condition without first going for Confession.
He was speaking with me in the sacristy after Mass and will be here for a few months. I told him I write on this subject on my blog.
The dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the church there is no salvation) says everyone with no exception needs to be a formal member of the Catholic Church for salvation. He agreed this was the teaching of the dogma and of the Catholic Church. Every non Catholic needs to enter the Church for salvation." If there is no baptism there is no salvation ",said Fr. Gabrielle.It needs to be mentioned that Catholics only give the baptism of water to adults with Catholic Faith (Ad Gentes 7).
Vatican Council II also says Fr. Gabrielle said that there can be those saved through Jesus and the Church and who may not be members of the Church. It needs to be clarified here that only God knows which non Catholics are saved through Jesus and the Church. So this does not contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Fr. Gabrielle had earlier during the homily spoken about St. Maria Goretti. He also mentioned in the homily that fornicators, or someone who committed a sin of impurity, should not receive the Eucharist, without going for Confession otherwise it would be a sacrilege.
So I asked him about extra ecclesiam nulla salus.He said presently there was a lot of confusion on this issue.He emphasized the necessity of the Church for the salvation of all people.-Lionel Andrades

ReplyDeleteKARL KEATING SAYS FR.LEONARD FEENEY WAS NOT EXCOMMUNICATED FOR HERESY
I have come across Karl Keating the founder of Catholic Answers' E-Letter Jan 13, 2004, in which he writes :
From the late 1940s until his death he was known instead for his rigorist interpretation of the maxim "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" ("no salvation outside the Church"). Adherents to his interpretation became known as "Feeneyites."
Ordered to stop teaching his interpretation, Feeney refused and was excommunicated, not technically for teaching heresy but for disobedience.
Karl Keating says that Fr.Leonard Feeney was not excommunicated for heresy but he held the ‘rigorist interpretation of the maxim “extra ecclesiam nulla salus”.
It was not a maxim it was a dogma Mr.Keating and the dogma held the ‘rigorist interpretation’ of outside the church there is no salvation.
Pope Pius XII in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 referred to this 'dogma', the 'infallible'teaching.
So if Fr.Leonard Feeney was not excommunicated for heresy and held the same teaching as the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, did the Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston support Fr.Leonard Feeney on dogma/doctrine ?
