False traditionalists and others sometimes refer to true Catholics who believe in the Catholic Church’s teaching on Baptism and the necessity of the Catholic faith for salvation as “Feeneyites”. The charge is utterly false and dishonest. It is a calumny, as the proof and arguments for the true position have nothing to do with Fr. Feeney. Heretics employ the accusation as a dishonest way to divert from the dogmatic facts that refute and convict them. However, the truth is that Fr. Feeney was on the correct side of the pre-Vatican II dispute over this dogma. He defended the dogma Outside the Church There is No Salvation and the necessity of water baptism against the modernist pre-Vatican II ‘clerics’ who were denying it. People who fail to recognize that the denial of this core truth was in full swing in the decades before Vatican II will not see the true nature of the current crisis. They are also more likely to fall prey to the heretical teaching that was circulated in fallible sources before Vatican II. The denial of Outside the Church There is No Salvation and the necessity of water baptism by pre-Vatican II modernists was one of the primary causes of the apostasy at Vatican II. One of Feeney’s main enemies during the dispute over this dogma in the years before Vatican II was the ‘Archbishop’ of Boston, ‘Cardinal’ Richard Cushing. Understanding what Feeney’s enemy ‘Archbishop’ Cushing believed and stood for provides further insight into which side was Catholic and of God during the aforementioned controversy, and which side was not. The answer: Fr. Feeney was on the correct side.

Jesus revealed that few find the path to salvation in Matthew 7:13, and the great spiritual teachers of the Catholic Church have taught that not only is most of humanity lost (i.e., all who die as non-Catholics), but even most of those who profess to be Catholic.

Since the sad fact of human history is that few are of the truth – something that is also discovered by reading the Old Testament and the stories about how few were found worthy to enter the promised land, and how few remained faithful to God’s law in proportion to the super-majority of even God’s people who repeatedly fell into idolatry – this helps explain why God leaves segments of Earth’s population in ignorance. It’s because there is not a good-willed soul to be found there. Thus, those parts of the New World which were not reached by the Gospel were not reached because the elect were not to be found there.
