Pope Benedict could have vetted and approved Amoris Laetitia
OCTOBER 11, 2017Pope Benedict could have vetted and approved Amoris Laetitia
At Vatican Council II(1965) he supported the excommunication of Fr. Leonard Feeney when there were no practical exceptions to the dogma EENS. Theologically, invisible cases of the baptism of desire etc,could not be relevant to the dogma EENS but he said nothing.
He maintained the excommunication of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre-.Since he wanted Vatican Council II to be interpreted with LG 16 etc being referred to as visible and known cases.So they become a rupture with Tradition, with the dogma EENS, the old exclusivist ecclesiology, the Syllabus of Errors etc.
If he did not allow all this intentionally he permitted this error,injustice and confusion in the Church,with his ignorance, while Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
When he wanted the SSPX to approve the doctrinal preamble it was not with Vatican Council II in harmony with EENS( premise-free) but as a rupture with EENS because of the irrational premise used in the interpretation.
In salvation theology he assumed hypothetical and unknown cases could be known and judged as being examples of salvation outside the Church.Similarly in morals he accepted that we could judge when manifest mortal sin was not a mortal sin and this was not in the realm of God alone.This was and is still being taught at the pontifical universities.So he permitted the variations and permutations in moral theology with philosophical subjectivism and theObfuscation Principle and so could have vetted and approved Amoris Laetitia before it was issued.Amoris Laetitia's philosophical subjectivism and Obfuscation Principle was supported by him in salvation theology.This was the reasoning he used to do away with the exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church--Lionel Andrades
