The topic extra ecclesiam nulla salus is discussed in the following articles:
Christianity
The dogma was defined by three Church Councils. It says all need to convert into the Catholic Church for salvation and that non Catholics and non Christians are oriented to Hell unless they are formal members of the Catholic Church i.e unless they have Catholic Faith.
The dogma on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church was questioned in the Fr.Leonard Feeney case when the Archbishop of Boston Cardinal Richard Cushing and the Holy Office 1949 inferred that the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance were explicit exceptions to all needing to convert.
It is now being recognized in the Catholic Church that this was a factual error. Since we do not know any one, for example in 2014, who is saved with the baptism of desire etc. So how can cases which do not exist in our reality be exceptions to all needing faith and baptism for salvation.
This error is now known in the Catholic Church under the name Cushingism. It refers to something which is irrational, non traditional and heretical.
Cushingism is the common interpretation of Vatican Council II in which it is inferred that Lumen Gentium 16 ( those saved in invincible ignorance) are explicit exeptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. The error is assuming that these deceased are visible on earth and then concluding that they are exceptions.
Without Cushingism, Vatican Council II is in agreement with the traditional interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.-Lionel Andrades

The claim that more than a few Traditionalists have offered, namely that Pope Francis would "outlaw" the ancient Roman Mass, has been demolished.
1. The very fact that Rome and the Society had met last week demolished said claim.
2. The fact that Rome and the Society announced that discussions between the respective parties would continue demolished the claim in question.
Again, back to the beginning, if Rome and the Society have concluded a "deal", then the claim that Pope Francis would ban the ancient Roman Mass has proved absurd.
Either way, Pope Francis' supposed intention to outlaw the Traditional Roman Mass has been destroyed.
Pax.

The Traditional Latin Mass with the ecclesiology of outside the Church there is no salvation, stands banned.Example Fischer More College etc.
The Traditional Latin Mass without the dogma extra ecclesiam null salus is not the TLM.
The SSPX General Chapter Statement 2012 affirmed extra ecclesiam nulla salus with no exceptions. This is the Feeneyite position.
The Vatican is using a false premise in the interpretation of Vatican Council II. So the Council emerges as a break with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Can the SSPX affirm Vatican Council II without this false premise.
Will the Vatican allow them to affirm the Feeneyite instead of the Cushingite version of Vatican Council II and also offer the Traditional Latin Mass ?
Can a priest who offers the Novus Ordo Mass also affirm Vatican Council II without the irrational premise ?
The issue is still doctrine and not the Holy Mass.-Lionel Andrades
