PROGRESSIVISTS AND TRADITIONALISTS TODAY USE IRRATIONAL CUSHINGISM TO INTERPRET THE CREEDS, COUNCILS AND CATECHISMS: UNDERSTANDING LIONEL ANDRADES
VISIBLE-INVISIBLE DISTINCTION
To understand Lionel Andrades you must make the invisible-visible distinction, you must be aware of it when reading Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
You must understand in general that the blue orthodox passages in Vatican Council II are not contradicted by the red hypothetical passages. So the blue conservative passages are aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Athanasius Creed with no exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II etc.
Once this is clear, invisible cases of CCC 847-848 (invincible ignorance etc) do not contradict CCC 845-846 ( outside the Church no salvation).
CCC 1257 does not contradict itself when it states that the Church knows of no means to eternal beatitude other than the baptism of water and also says ‘God is not limited to the Sacraments’.
We now know that invisible for us cases of LG 16 do not contradict AG 7 ( all need faith and baptism for salvation), CCC 846, the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus , an ecumenism of return to the Catholic Church of the Syllabus of Pius IX and the Roman Missal of the Latin Mass.
There is nothing in Unitatis Redintigratio, Decree on Ecumenism to contradict AG 7 and EENS.
Also theoretical cases mentioned in Nostra Aetate are not exceptions for AG 7 and the exclusivist ecclesiology of the missionaries and magisterium of the Middle Ages.
This is a different way of reading Vatican Council II.
Usually hypothetical and invisible cases of LG 8, 14, 16 etc in Vatican Council II are projected as objective examples of salvation outside the Church in the present times and so practical exceptions for the dogma EENS, the Athanasius Creed and the Roman Missal. This is irrational. This is the Irrational Approach.
RATIONAL APPROACH
When invisible cases of LG 8, 14, 16 etc are seen as not contradicting AG 7, then AG 7 is aligned with the dogma EENS and LG 8, 14, 16 etc are not explicit exceptions for AG 7 or EENS. This is the Rational Approach.
When what is invisible is seen as just being invisible, I call it Feeneyism.
When what is invisible is confused as being visible I call it Cushingism.
We can interpret Vatican Council II with Feeneyism or Cushingism and the conclusion will be different. It is the same for the Creeds and the Catechisms and Councils.
We are in the ìone, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Churchì ( Nicene Creed) which says outside the Church there is no salvation (Feeneyism) or it says outside the Church there is known salvation: there is salvation (Cushingism).
With Feeneyism, the Catechism of Pope Pius X (29 X- invincible ignorance etc) does not contradict 24Q and 27Q but with Cushingism there is a contradiction. A new doctrine is created.
Pope Leo is a Cushingite on Vatican Council II. The religious community Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the St. Benedict Center in New Hampshire, USA, are Feeneyites on Vatican Council II.
The St.Benedict Center traditionalists are Feeneyite on all the Catechisms but Cardinals Fernandez, Burke, Sarah and Cupich are Cushingites. Cushingism, with the False Premise (invisible people are visible) produces schism, with the past Magisterium, irrespective of who uses it.
The Lionel Andrades Discovery is that LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, Gs 22 etc in Vatican Council II refer to invisible and hypothetical cases in the present times. This message is at the center of the L.A writings.
Pope Pius XII, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at his time, and Cardinal Richard Cushing, the Archbishop of Boston, made an objective and factual error, when they projected invisible cases of the baptism of desire etc as being visible exceptions for the EENS of the Church Councils which defined it ( Feeneyite EENS).
Pope Francis and Cardinal Fernandez made the same mistake in the excommunication of Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.
Pope Leo XIV repeated the irrational interpretation of Vatican Council II when excommunicating the SSPX bishops and Superior General.
This mistake is there in the books written by Pope Benedict and published by Ignatius and other Press.
The same mistake is there in the books on Vatican Council II published by Amazon, Oxford University Press, Angelus Press etc.
When the cardinal and bishops in Pakistan for example, affirm LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc as being hypothetical and invisible only, they are automatically affirming the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, Feeneyite EENS and the Athanasius Creed with no exceptions. AG 7 is aligned with EENS with invisible cases of LG 8, 14, 16 etc not being explicit exceptions for AG 7 or EENS.
Cushingite versions of the Creeds are first class heresy in the hierarchy of truths of Pope John Paul II (Ad Tuendem Fidem).
Also the Oath of Office, the Oath of Fidelity 1 is Cushingite today. It was Feeneyite as in the Middle Ages.
The mainline Catholic Church when traditional; because Vatican Council II is traditional and rational, must participate in national, regional politics. There is no separation of Church and State when Vatican Council II says outside the Church there is no salvation. The Government must be Catholic to save souls from Hell.
Vatican Council II interpreted with the Rational Approach does not contradict Quas Primas, the encyclical of Pope Pius XI, on the feast of Christ the King.

OATH OF FIDELITY
ON ASSUMING AN OFFICE
TO BE EXERCISED IN THE NAME OF THE CHURCH
(Formula to be used by members of the Christian faithful mentioned in canon 833, nn. 5-8)
I, N., in assuming the office of ………, promise that in my words and in my actions I shall always preserve communion with the Catholic Church (LIONEL: In which the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms are interpreted rationally and not irrationally, traditionally and not non traditionally).
With great care and fidelity I shall carry out the duties incumbent on me toward the Church, both universal and particular, in which, according to the provisions of the law, I have been called to exercise my service.
In fulfilling the charge entrusted to me in the name of the Church, I shall hold fast to the deposit of faith in its entirety; I shall faithfully hand it on and explain it, and I shall avoid any teachings contrary to it.(LIONEL: The deposit of the faith in the Middle Ages was Feeneyite but today it is Cushingite)
I shall follow and foster the common discipline of the entire Church and I shall maintain the observance of all ecclesiastical laws, especially those contained in the Code of Canon Law.(LIONEL: The 1917 Code of Canon Law was Feeneyite and the 1983 version based upon Vatican Council II irrational, is Cushingite).
With Christian obedience I shall follow what the Bishops, as authentic doctors and teachers of the faith, declare, or what they, as those who govern the Church, establish. I shall also faithfully assist the diocesan Bishops, so that the apostolic activity, exercised in the name and by mandate of the Church, may be carried out in communion with the Church.(LIONEL : The bishops in general are Cushingites who follow Vatican Council II irrationally, which is heretical and schismatic. Vatican Council II rational is an option.)
So help me God, and God’s Holy Gospels on which I place my hand.
(Variations in the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the formulary,
for use by those members of the Christian faithful indicated in can. 833, n. 8)
I shall foster the common discipline of the entire Church and I shall insist on the observance of all ecclesiastical laws, especially those contained in the Code of Canon Law.
With Christian obedience I shall follow what the Bishops, as authentic doctors and teachers of the faith, declare, or what they, as those who govern the Church, establish. I shall also — with due regard for the character and purpose of my institute — faithfully assist the diocesan Bishops, so that the apostolic activity, exercised in the name and by mandate of the Church, may be carried out in communion with the Church.(LIONEL: Only when the bishops interpret the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms rationally are they apostolic. With Cushingism, as at present they are schismatic)
Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity
