I get that post Vatican II Catholics seem to think that the Church started in 1965/anything prior to 1965 is "old news",

Not so. Each Council, each encyclical is based upon the others. In the instance I cited, gigantic, tragic circumstances took place and could not be ignored; just as when, I honestly do not recall which Pope, promulgated assn encyclical in favor of the Jews, denying theirs or anyone's group responsibility for the death of Jesus. We are all, as children of Adam with original sin (that of Mary, was taken from her soul prior to her conception in her mother's womb. That is why, although she is the Immaculate Conception, she refers to God as her Savior.)


but Pope Pius IX made it absolutely clear that we should not entertain "good hope" for the salvation of those outside the Catholic Church. Good hope is not the same thing as recognizing that in rare instances God can allow it, in instances where someone had a desire for baptism and/or perfect contrition before death. Thanks to the modernism that has creeped into the Church via Vatican II (and is now full steam ahead), most Catholics seem to think that we can hope that these non-Catholics will be saved. No, we can not.

Please read again what I posted. Do you honestly believe those killed in war fighting for just cause; the victims of holocaust and genocide are doomed to hell? Please read it again with them in mind. The worldview of the Church is available in verbatim documents online.

Good bless you!

Do you really think God would allow His Son to die a terrible, agonizing painful death?

The Traditional Catholic Faith has never been easy. Just because you think it is unfair for certain people not to get to Heaven doesn’t mean they do. Just because the type of evil in the modern world changes doesn’t mean the truth of the Traditional Catholic Faith changes along with it.

We are not to entertain good hope that those outside of the Catholic Church will be saved. Vatican II contradicts prior teaching in two main areas: religious liberty and ecumenism. Both involve those of other religions.
