Catholic Answers still uses Cushingism which creates a rupture with Tradition




Catholic Answers apologist Trent Horn uses Cushingism instead of Feeneyism to interpret magisterial documents especially Vatican Council II and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).He is a Cushingite.
Cushingism causes a rupture with Tradition.
For Cushingites there is known salvation outside the Church. Invisible cases of the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and invincible ignorance(I.I) are visible exceptions to the dogma EENS.
For Feeneyites there is no known salvation outside the Church. Invisible cases of BOD,BOB and I.I are not visible exceptions to the dogma EENS.They are simply invisible.So there is no salvation outside the Church for us humans.Feeneyites evangelise knowing that all non Catholics are oriented to Hell unless they enter the Catholic Church.
We can interpret Vatican Council II, with Feeneyism or Cushingism.
For me Feeneyism is rational and does not create a rupture with Tradition.Since LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to invisible and unknown people in 2018.
For Catholic Answers (see the two videos) BOD,BOB and I.I refer to known people saved outside the Church. Also LG 8,LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to physically visible people saved outside the Catholic Church. This is an irrational premise. With it the dogma EENS(Feeneyite) is rejected by them.
Apologist Trent Horn mentions invincible ignorance.For me it is theoretical,hypothetical and speculative.That's all it can be.It never was an exception to the dogma EENS.
So for me the Catholic Church today is still saying through Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7) and the dogma EENS that everyone with no known exceptions in 2018 need to be members of the Catholic Church for salvation.I am using Feeneyism as a philosophy and theology.
It is with this understanding that we must evangelize. This was the missionary motivation of the Jesuits in the 16th century. They knew that the ordinary way of salvation was faith and baptism in the Catholic Church and not invincible ignorance. If there were exceptions to the ordinary way of salvation it would be known only to God.
So all the natives in the Americas before Columbas went there were oriented to Hell and not just those who knew.
All the natives in India before St.Francis Xavier went there were on the way to Hell.
The liberal theologians made a  mistake in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 when they assumed unknown cases of being saved in invincible ignorance were known exceptions to traditional EENS. So this New Theology was repeated in Vatican Council II.Lumen Gentium 14 wrongly refers to only those who know as if we can know who will be saved in invincible ignorance.
So the dogma EENS has been rejected by Catholic Answers which is Cushingite.It has also been rejected by the present two popes,who are also Cushingites and interpret Vatican Council II with the hermeneutic of rupture.
So now Pope Benedict and Bishop Robert Barron call for evangelization not based on the dogma EENS as it was known in the 16th century but by calling attention to the beauty of the face of Jesus or to beauty in general in the Catholic Church.
Proclamation of the dogma EENS would be for me ,initiating an evangelization , based on the truth.- Lionel Andrades
