Leonard Edward Feeney (February 18, – January 30, ) was an American Jesuit Catholic priest, poet, lyricist, and essayist.
He articulated an interpretation of the Catholic doctrine extra Ecclesiam nulla salus ("outside the Church there is no salvation"). He took the position that baptism of blood and baptism of desire are unavailing and that therefore no non-Catholics will be saved.[1] Those positions are called, after him, Feeneyism.
Fighting against what he perceived to be the liberalization of Catholic doctrine, he was excommunicated by the Holy See. He was described as Boston's homegrown version of Father Charles Coughlin for his antisemitism.[2&
