Please - atonement theology and theories and substitutionary nature are theological debates - not dogmas.  You again confuse the two and then make your attack.
I'll go along with Duns Scotus - http://www.associationofcatholicpriests.ie/2015/03/love-not-atonement/
"The incarnation of God and the redemption of the world could never be a mere mop-up exercise in response to human sinfulness, but the proactive work of God from the very beginning. We were “chosen in Christ before the world was made,” as the hymn in Ephesians puts it (1:4). Our sin could not possibly be the motive for the divine incarnation, but only perfect love and divine self-revelation! For Scotus, God never merely reacts, but always supremely and freely acts, and always acts totally out of love. Scotus was very Trinitarian."
Outdated atonement theories meet the Francis standard - neo-Promethean self-absorbed Pelagianism which means that humans earn their salvation (this is heresy).
