Jesus gave us a New Covenant –Pope Benedict XVI

In his homily yesterday evening at the Mass before the Corpus Christi procession Pope Benedict said that Jesus gave us a New Covenant and in the Paschal Mystery offers us salvation.

In the Prayers of the Faithful it was prayed that ‘from the great mystery of the Eucharist may flow the gift of our salvation.’

The Gospel Reading was from Mark 14, 12-16.22-26 ' Jesus says this is my blood, the blood to be poured out for many’.

'I am the living bread which has come down from heaven,says the Lord. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever 'was the Gospel Acclamation.

The Second Reading was from the Letter to the Hebrews 9,11-15.’He brings a new Covenant, as the mediator, so that the people who ere called to an eternal inheritance may actually receive what was promised: his death took place to cancel the sins that infringed the earlier covenant’.

Christ is the mediator of a New Covenant (Hebrews 9,15) established through his Blood, said Pope Benedict,  and purifies ‘our inner self from dead actions so that we do our service to the living God’( Hebrews 9:14)

The communion Antiphon was ‘Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him,says the Lord’.

There were people ,some from abroad, who were there specially for the liturgical celebration for which a  plenary Indulgence is obtained under the usual conditions.-Lionel Andrades

Griff L. Ruby knows there is no known baptism of desire but will not admit it and he criticizes Peter and Michael Dimond

Griff L.Ruby who writes for a blog Daily Catholic.org (1) with a liberal bias has been informed that we do not know any case of a non Catholic saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire.Initially he agreed that this was true. This is common knowledge. Yet he continues with his bias and now he is listed as a good source by Wikipedia to  criticise the Dimond Brothers on extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

Wikipedia states 'the Latin phrase extra Ecclesiam nulla salus means: "outside the church there is no salvation"The most recent Catholic Catechism interpreted this to mean that "all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body." '

Wikipedia interpets this line as if to suggest that all salvation comes from Christ and so all non Catholics do not have to enter the Church. Wikipedia says  ‘The Roman Catholic Church also teaches that the doctrine does not mean that everyone who is not visibly within the Church is necessarily damned’ (Wikipedia, Extra Ecclesiam nulla Salus ).

Why? How does it mean this?

Since, for Wikipedia, those who through no fault of their own can be saved (LG 16) and of course these cases are explicit and known to us and so they are an explicit exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

This is supposed to be the Roman Catholic teaching according to Wikipedia and Griff Ruby.-Lionel Andrades

PETER AND MICHAEL DIMOND THINK THE BAPTISM OF DESIRE IS EXPLICIT SO THEY ACCUSE CATHOLICS OF BEING IN HERESY

PETER AND MICHAEL DIMOND THINK THE BAPTISM OF DESIRE IS EXPLICIT SO THEY ACCUSE CATHOLICS OF BEING IN HERESY

Once they realize that they can express the baptism of desire in terms of explicit and implicit they can also interpret Magisterium texts with terms explicit and implicit.

No one has recommended an explicit–explicit interpretation as is being used by Peter and Michael Dimond, sedevacantists.

For the sedevacantists the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) and many Catholics organisations and apologists, are in heresy. Since for the Dimond brothers, these Catholics affirm cases of the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance - and these cases  are known personally to all concerned in 2012  for them to be  explicit exceptions.Ther are explicit exceptions to the  literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.  The Dimond brothers do not realize that the baptism of desire and being saved in implicit ignorance are never explicit for us .So they have been calling people heretics.

It is true that if you reject a  defined dogma with explicit exceptions it  is heresy.Invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire, though,  are not explicit! This is what's not realized. It is not realized by them and Catholics at large.

They cannot be invited into  the Church, as was done with the SSPX, since the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Ecclesia Dei and the Vatican Curia also assume, that the baptism of desire is explicit for us.

Then there are apologists on EWTN like Patrick Madrid, Jimmy Akins, Mark Shea who will not express the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. They  know that those saved in invincible ignorance etc are not explicitly known to us.

However complicated all this may seem we have to remember that the basic issue is simple: the baptism of desire is never explicit.

Peter and Michael Dimond are correct in saying that Catholic Answers, the SSPX and the 'Vatican Council II sect' are heretics in as much they deny the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. They do deny the dogma. They deny the dogma  while  assuming that the baptism of desire  is explicit and defacto known to us.

When they all realize that the baptism of desire is always explicit only to God and always implicit for us humans, then they will realize that there are no known exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma.

An Administrator on Karl Keatings Catholic Answers Forum for example says the Most Holy Family Monastery 'is heir to the heresy of Fr.Feeney (all non Catholics automatically go to hell)’.In other words all non Catholics do not automatically go to Hell because there can be some known cases saved with the baptism of desire etc. So there are known exceptions for this Catholic Answers Forum Administrator.(1) They have the same understanding of ‘exceptions’ as Peter and Michael Dimond whom they criticize.-Lionel Andrades
