The Pope proclaiming that "Christians" don't have a monopoly on who gets into heaven is definitely screwing with their business model.noddy wrote:http://www.catholic.org/news/hf/faith/s ... p?id=51077noddy wrote:i was under the impression both the catholics and the anglicans had revised that interpretation.
i realise their is wiggle room on finding god by doing good and so forth however i was still under the impression that the long running stink with the jews about if they get approval from the beard in the sky was included in this.Pope Francis has good news for atheists. Jesus died and was raised for them as well. His redemptive embrace was for all, not just a chosen few.The choice to accept its reach is our own. The Holy Father was not teaching anything new. In fact, this hope that all who do not yet know God are not only capable of doing good - but will progress toward that knowledge of God by doing good - is ancient. The Church wants all men and women to be saved.
No wonder some "true Christians" don't consider Catholics to be "Christians."
