Here are some highlights, taken from a review by Michael Potemra:
Cardinal Pell was asked whether atheists can go to Heaven, and responded, “Certainly, certainly!”
And there was an interesting exchange between the panelists on the existence of Adam and Eve. Cardinal Pell expressed the view that they were not historical individuals, but mythological figures in a story designed to communicate religious truth. To which Dawkins responded, If they didn’t really, historically, exist, where did Original Sin come from?
Bam boom! Dawkins slams Pell to the floor. It's almost a joy to behold, except that it's the athiest who brandishes the true doctrine. The real losers, though, are Dawkins and his followers who once again receive heresy instead of truth from a bishop.
The highlighted parts above embody Pell's heresies. That one can be saved without faith is condemned at Vatican Council I. That we must profess Adam as our first parent, that he sinned, and thereby passed Original Sin to us, is clearly proclaimed by Pope Pius XII.
Pray the Rosary for an end to heresy, especially the scourge of evolution.
He probably thinks that there are exceptions to Original Sin and rejects the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

IF THEY EXCOMMUNICATED FR.LEONARD FEENEY FOR SAYING THAT THERE WAS NO BAPTISM OF DESIRE THEN THEY MADE A MISTAKE.THERE ARE NO KNOWN EXCEPTIONS TO THE DOGMA.
An injustice was done to the priest and St.Benedict Center.

NO DENIAL FROM DIOCESE OF WORCESTER, USA: All religious communities are permitted to hold the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and Vatican Council II (AG 7)
The men’s religious communities in the diocese can teach that in reality everyone needs to convert into the Catholic Church for salvation and there are no known exceptions.
Also the women’s religious communities and lay persons in the diocese can affirm the literal interpretation of the dogma and Ad Gentes 7 along with implicit baptism of desire.
They agree that they do not know anyone saved with the baptism of desire or in invincible ignorance.
Explicitly known baptism of desire was the heresy, knowingly or unknowingly, of the Archbishop of Boston Cardinal Richard Cushing. If the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 assumed that the baptism of desire was explicitly known then it would be an objective, factual error.
Fr. Leonard Feeney’s position is consistent with the Church Fathers, Church Councils, popes, saints, Catechisms, Vatican Council I, Vatican Council II (AG 7) and the Letter of the Holy Office 1949(reference to ‘the dogma’, the ‘infallible statement’).
An apology is over due from the Archdiocese of Boston and the Jesuit Superior General.

No one from the Diocese of Worcester,USA will answer if they know any one saved with the baptism of desire or in invincible ignorance

Hi Lionel,
Thanks for addressing the subject of Fr. Feeney. I'm still puzzled by your creation of the categories of "known" and "unknown" Baptism of Desire. I can assure you that neither Fr. Feeney nor the Slaves I know (including the Sisters and Brothers you mention) make any such distinction. To be clear, all the following are defined: Baptism is necessary for salvation, water is necessary for Baptism, Baptism is necessary to enter the Church, and outside the Church there is absolutely no salvation. Bottom line: Fr. Feeney and his followers do not admit exceptions, "known" or "unknown." Furthermore, the Sisters do not admit implicit Baptism of Desire for salvation. Furthermore, none of them, to my knowledge, has made any statement regarding Vatican II. You need to be more clear in your discussion of this issue.
Has Bishop McManus said something lately? The recognition of the Slaves occurred under other bishops. Bp. McManus has kindly visited them and even performed Confirmation in the traditional rite at their chapel, however.
