Is There Really No Salvation Outside the Church?

For centuries, the Catholic Church has proclaimed that there is no salvation outside of the Church. But what does that really mean?

God bless all the Catholics trying to be more Catholic than the Catholic Church and slipping into schismatic mindsets (e.g. from being weary to outright rejection of the documents of Vatican II). Who want to be so stuck in their ways and minds that are not willing to listen to this video and humble themselves under the Teaching of the Church they claim to belong to. This inner division amongst Catholics is the most toxic and painful thing to witness. If we are Catholics we WILL listen to what the Church has to say and we WILL strive to grasp it's meaning, truth & accept it. We will stop this second-guessing, schismatic mentality which at its core really has stopped believing that while yes, the devil has infiltrated into the Church, ultimately the Holy Spirit is guiding Her and certainly it's behind official, normative documents out of a Council. What Br Casey has said is what y'all are repeating as well - there is no salvation outside the Church, outside of the Atonement of Christ and the fullness of grace it provided for all peoples. Some are actively receiving His redemption, some are indirectly (are you praying for them?). Those who KNOW about the Church's truth and reject it, are at risk to be lost if they persevere in that direction. How many know that they know that they know, though? How many angry Protestants have really grasped it and still deny it? I believe not many. Certainly we should pray for them rather than throwing hell fire on them and feel self-righteous about it.

None of the documents of the Second Vatican Council are infalible. St. Pope Paul VI says as much.

[@TheLeonhamm]

You are mistaken TpM: 'Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.' Acts 4 : 12. This is as Catholic as the Church gets. It is a defined Dogma of the Church, even in the New Order of pastoralised liturgies it remains binding.

[@thekingofmoab1181]

Also, the Council of Florence taught as dogma that outside the Church there is no salvation. The Council of Vatican II never made any dogmatic proclamations, therefore not everything in that council is infallible (only that which had been infallible before the council). Again, St. Pope Paul VI said as much when he closed the council.

This is a very succinct explanation of a complex topic. CS Lewis talks about how atheists demand answers to complex questions but get mad when the answers are complex. Christians sometimes do the same thing with issues like salvation. There's no simple answer. We're not God and we don't get to decide who is saved and who is not. The mesaage of the Gospel may reach people through means we may not understand, and it's not our concern how God does that. Our job is to spread the Gospel and let God do the rest.

We never judge individual cases, even our own, because there are subjective factors and hidden factors, but when speaking in general we can say that none but Catholics go to Heaven, except in truly extraordinary cases. For one thing, except for schismatics, non-Catholics are not eating Jesus' Body or drinking His Blood.

[@GeorgePenton-np9rh]

The main reason non-Catholics do not see the truth of Catholicism is because they really aren't looking for truth, they are only looking for something thst feels good. All a non-Catholic has to do is ask God, Dear Lord, of all the world's faiths and religions, which one do you want me in? and God would quickly show them that it is the Catholic religion. In my own case, I grew up Methodist. One night I asked God to show me which of the world's religions was the true religion, and that very night God showed me it was the Catholic religion. If non-Catholics do not convert it is their own fault. "Ask and ypu shall receive. Seek and ye shall find. Knock, and the door shall be opened to you." --Jesus

@@brucewmclaughlin9072 you are half correct. God's salvation is for everyone. When Jesus died, it was not for a select few. On the other hand, such gift, as you call it, should be accepted by individuals. God cannot override a person's free will. But through the Holy Spirit, he speaks and encourage everyone to come back to him. That is why Jesus said that all sins can be forgiven except when you grieve the Holy Spirit. Because when God speaks to you through the Holy Spirit and you deny it, how can His grace of salvation work in you?

He who began a good work in you will carry it on to the day of completion does not sound like God gives up on the individual who initially repented but due to bad teaching or circumstances does not understand what the Spirit is saying. Too many believers are caught up parroting what they have been taught without full understanding .

[@acedelizo6430]

@@brucewmclaughlin9072 on Blaspheme or grieving the Holy Spirit: Matthew 12:31 talks about blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:30 says grieve. Still, I hope you got the context of what I was saying. The blaspheming is not limited to verbal but since it pertains to God, it is called blasphemy according to commentaries of Bible experts. The context of that passage is God speaks to you His Truth through His Spirit and if you go against it, logically, how can you become repentant and let forgiveness enters your life? regarding salvation and work. The salvation of men and women started with God. It didn't start with us. But God's salvation is not a passive thing. It is not "once [I'm] saved, [I'm] always saved". Didn't Jesus said, " And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:27). Didn't Jesus said, " "Not everyone who says to me, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21)? Didn't Jesus followers said the same like James, who said, " Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." James 2:17 (read James 2:14-26 for full context)

[@brucewmclaughlin9072]

@@acedelizo6430 In regards to james that is written to the Jews not the gentiles or to believers . what is the works of God? faith without works is dead so we need to see what works actually means. John 6:26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” 28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” 29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” But God's salvation is not a passive thing. It is not "once [I'm] saved, [I'm] always saved". Depends on what is saved does it not? OSAS is true if it refers to your spirit but definitely not your flesh. You must be born again = scriptural. You can be unborn of the spirit = not found in scripture. But God's salvation is not a passive thing Very true and Eph 2:10 says that God has plans for us . However we work because of the free gift of salvation ,not for the gift. The next time one of your children grieves you make sure you take a gun out and shoot them? Blasphemy is attributing the works of God to satan , grieving is not blasphemy. God speaks to you His Truth through His Spirit and if you go against it, logically, how can you become repentant and let forgiveness enters your life? 1 Cor 3:5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role. 6 I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The Holy spirit does not give up on the sinful person but continuously prompts them towards belief. Some just will not believe. regardless. Only two destinations after we die and the world only sees one. Matthew 7:21 read the context and you will see what the people are guilty of.

We Catholics, even while we possess the Truth, cannot possibly claim to know ALL of the Truth regarding Christ, regarding our Faith. There is still so much to be learnt. Therefore, our doctrines are expanded as our understanding expands over the centuries.

[@BrianWiles504]

The Creed of St. Athanasius (Athanasian Creed or Quicumque Vult) Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the Catholic faith. For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire, he will undoubtedly be lost forever. This is what the Catholic faith teaches: we worship one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity. Neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substance. For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Spirit. But the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit have one divinity, equal glory, and coeternal majesty. What the Father is, the Son is, and the Holy Spirit is. The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, and the Holy Spirit is uncreated. The Father is boundless, the Son is boundless, and the Holy Spirit is boundless. The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, and the Holy Spirit is eternal. Nevertheless, there are not three eternal beings, but one eternal being. So there are not three uncreated beings, nor three boundless beings, but one uncreated being and one boundless being. Likewise, the Father is omnipotent, the Son is omnipotent, the Holy Spirit is omnipotent. Yet there are not three omnipotent beings, but one omnipotent being. Thus the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. However, there are not three gods, but one God. The Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is Lord. However, there as not three lords, but one Lord. For as we are obliged by Christian truth to acknowledge every Person singly to be God and Lord, so too are we forbidden by the Catholic religion to say that there are three Gods or Lords. The Father was not made, nor created, nor generated by anyone. The Son is not made, nor created, but begotten by the Father alone. The Holy Spirit is not made, nor created, nor generated, but proceeds from the Father and the Son. There is, then, one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three sons; one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits. In this Trinity, there is nothing before or after, nothing greater or less. The entire three Persons are coeternal and coequal with one another. So that in all things, as is has been said above, the Unity is to be worshipped in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity. He, therefore, who wishes to be saved, must believe thus about the Trinity. It is also necessary for eternal salvation that he believes steadfastly in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both God and man. As God, He was begotten of the substance of the Father before time; as man, He was born in time of the substance of His Mother. He is perfect God; and He is perfect man, with a rational soul and human flesh. He is equal to the Father in His divinity, but inferior to the Father in His humanity. Although He is God and man, He is not two, but one Christ. And He is one, not because His divinity was changed into flesh, but because His humanity was assumed unto God. He is one, not by a mingling of substances, but by unity of person. As a rational soul and flesh are one man: so God and man are one Christ. He died for our salvation, descended into hell, and rose from the dead on the third day. He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead. At His coming, all men are to arise with their own bodies; and they are to give an account of their own deeds. Those who have done good deeds will go into eternal life; those who have done evil will go into the everlasting fire. This is the Catholic faith. Every person must believe it, firmly and steadfastly; otherwise he cannot be saved. Amen.

[@1sola1verita40]

God in His infinite Mercy and Love (which is beyond the understanding of all creatures) will not exclude from His Kingdom those who have never had the chance to know & understand the Faith. THink about the millions of people alive today, in all kinds of situations, in society or in the jungle, who have never heard of God, of Jesus Christ. Catholicism is not a club of "lucky" people who just somehow happened to be born into a Catholic family or society and were "lucky" enough to maintain their faith. God is not a "club director" for the elite and lucky few - He is way, way beyond our understanding and knowledge. We little mortals can never with absolute certainty, pin down any condition on God. Who is saved and who is not is ultimately between God and each single individual.

Ever heard of the Council of Jerusalem? It was a Council in Acts 15 where the Apostles conveyed and decided a Christian did not have to obey the Mosaic ceremonial law like not eating pork, and worshipping in the temple, etc. Acts 16 says that the Apostles passed the decrees out to other Christians, the Greek word there being dogmata, to which, we get the word, dogma. In that same sense, in Vatican I, in the profession of faith, we must go with the unanimity of the Fathers on all matter concerning faith and morals. And this is binding to all Catholics to follow. Holy scripture, by itself affirms one needs to be baptized to be saved, but all the Church's theologians, including all the Holy Fathers all affirmed that you had to be baptized in order to be saved. You can by baptized by water, as our Lord commands in John 3:5. And you can be baptized by having a desire for baptism, along with perfect contrition for God and charity, as well as love for God in order to be saved. You can also be baptized by blood, where you aren't baptized by water, but martyrdom counts as a baptism since you died for Christ. Those people, who with invincible ignorance, still attempting to conform themselves to the will of God, and following their conscience will be able to get the grace required to be baptized, andGod will reveal to them the explicit mysteries of the Trinity either before they die, or by a priest, angel, or something else; but no one who enters heaven, while on Earth, never knew Christ explicitly, or the Trinity explicitly, and were never baptized.

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - Jesus. With all due respect as a Catholic, I think many are fed up with the pandering and politicization of the church to be "appealing". If Jesus himself said there is NO WAY to the father except through him, I expect our most trusted interpreters (the hierarchy of the Church) to re-iterate that message. Some of us dont care about "appealing to the masses" some of us want the actual word of God. I might be a bad Catholic because I dont agree with much of what the current pope's views and interprestations are, but when Jesus himself says something in scripture I believe Him over the Pope. The reason we are losing our brothers and sisters is because we make light of the scriptures. It is proper to state the word of God unequivocally and with conviction! With all due respect, I wish our leaders would be more hard line and stop pandering to politics of the day.

I've been studying in Catholic schools all my life. We were taught that only those who actively reject Christ and His teachings even after they've experienced the light of His Gospel are liable to go to hell for their disbelief. It's irrational to expect people to convert to Catholicism just because they've heard of it. As Bro. Casey has mentioned in another video "No one has ever converted to Christianity because they lost an argument. Conversions happen only when a person has felt God's presence in his personal life." Therefore, those who have not yet had the opportunity to experience the light of Christ in their lives won't be doomed to hell for as long as they live reasonably good lives.

I have making this argument for years and a couple of years ago I found out that St. Augustine, a convert, said the same thing. If non-Catholics would ask they would receive. If they sought they would find. If they knocked the door would be opened to them. If they fail they have no one to blame but themselves.

*Roman Catholicism Turns People Away From Christ* The Roman Catholic Church counterfeits almost every work Christ does for Christians-thus turning people's attention from Jesus to something or someone else. 1) It points people to church sacraments, turning them away from trusting in Christ alone. 2) It emphasizes church tradition as the guide to life, turning them away from the Bible. 3) It directs people to the priest as mediator, thus turning them away from Christ as mediator. 4) It teaches people to pray to saints, thus turning them away from praying to God. 5) It urges people to pray to Mary, as merciful, thus turning them away from praying to God, claiming Him to be harsh, unwelcoming, and unapproachable. 6) It points to Peter as the Rock on which the church is based, thus turning them away from Christ as the true Rock. 7) It directs people to popes as Pontiffs (bridge builders), thus turning people away from Christ as the only hope of salvation. 8) It teaches people to do works of penance to gain God's favor, instead of accepting Christ's promises of forgiveness. 9) It requires people to believe in Catholic doctrine and papal infallibility as their authority, thus rejecting the voice of God speaking to their conscience.

And this is one sticking point against the Catholic Church. They don't seem to be willing to affirm both doctrines simultaneously: 1. Christianity is the path to salvation in a way that faiths like Judaism, Islam, Buddhism do not. 2.

This video really was helpful and gave a complex answer to a very complex miss understanding of Vatican ii.

[@TheLeonhamm]

In what way: even the Catechism of the Catholic Church is abundantly clear on what the Second Vatican Council actually taught (not what some may now like to imagine it did): '"The sole Church of Christ [is that] which our Saviour, after His Resurrection, entrusted to Peter's pastoral care, commissioning him and the other apostles to extend and rule it .. This Church, constituted and organised as a society in the present world, subsists* in (subsistit in) the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him." (Lumen Gent 8, 2) The Second Vatican Council's Decree on Ecumenism explains: "For it is through Christ's Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help toward salvation, that the fullness of the means of salvation can be obtained. It was to the apostolic college alone, of which Peter is the head, that we believe that our Lord entrusted all the blessings of the New Covenant, in order to establish on earth the one Body of Christ into which all those should be fully incorporated who belong in any way to the People of God." (Unitatis Redintegratio 3, 5)' CCC 816. * This subsistence does not mean minimally exists in, among others beside it, nor even that it somehow abides in Her one body with one spirit, but that it rests upon the Catholic Church, and no other. www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_P29.HTM#$12J Elements of sanctity and truth are present in man's search for God even outside the Church. The Church is, nonetheless, the sole divinely proffered means of fulfilling that search, whole and entire, whether men know it or not, accept it or reject it. So the Church does not dare to call truth 'untrue' just because someone outside Her sacramental life speaks it, She is there to guide mankind to the beginning and the end of all truths = The Truth (moreover, to deny this is to deny Her, and the Lord to Whom She is wed).

The Doctrine does not change or evolve. This is a dogma. "It is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature that is subject to the Roman Pontiff" (bull Unam Sanctam of His Holiness the Pope Boniface VIII). There is no way to contradict it!

As a Protestant, I get annoyed at other Protestants who say that Roman Catholics aren't Christians because of the idolatry. At the same time, I find the same irritation when a Roman Catholic says their is no salvation outside of their organized group. Most Protestants believe in the "catholic" (universal) church and that within it (including Baptists, Pentecostals, Methodists, Lutherans, Catholics, Orthodox, etc.), is the message of Salvation. Therefore, whenever we hear any one of our fellow denominations claim that Salvation is through Christ but only by also being a member of their denomination, we're going to disagree and (borrowing from your Ten Commandments Video), you certainly shouldn't blame us. This is a major reason that it's near impossible to get some Protestant churches to come to ecumenical Christian meetings where Catholics are also present. Feel me?

While I can see how your question relates to this one, it is definitely a separate issue that requires a different explanation. This video is concerned with a post-Resurrection world. As for those before, we have to remember that the same God who died and rose here on earth is the one that will judge the souls of those who lived before the Incarnation. This God is loving and merciful and wants all to come in union with the Triune God. There is no reason for us to believe anything other than the fact that Jesus Christ will judge them fairly and that his resurrection now applies to them.

Joseph Hamm, the Church teaches that there is such a thing as baptism of desire, which can be explicit (a catechumen has a fatal heart attack the week before his scheduled Baptism), or implicit (they lived at a time and place where the Gospel had never bern preached, but were repentant of sin and would have been baptized had they known God wanted it). God is reasonable. But He still commands all to search for the truth.

[9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."

Almost 1900 YEARS after the start......he says the "practice" of the church has always been the same. YET......we can zoom out and see that practice and its development and error as it gets older. So VERY obvious.....it has not always been the same. It was simpler back at the beginning. In Protestantism defense, it was more like them than the current Orthodox or RCC transitions and what they have come to today. The council of Jerusalem was extremely eye opening in Acts. "Yea, if you are a gentile believer you do not have to become a Jew. Just stay away from idols, sexual immorality follow the tenants of the gospel and your good! " Wait what?! Where is everything else? Where are my hail Mary's (or anything even remotely close) or icon veneration or intercessory prayer from dead saints? if anything this is an extreme eye opener to the negation of adding things to the Gospel. Things that don't even effect me. Like the priesthood being celibate. SOOOO late, when in scripture we have a command that Bishops only have 1 wife. Or that priests of the temple in Judaism have children and wives as well! On a more scathing note. Has it always been the practice of Christians to murder those they disagree with......since things have ALWAYS been the same? The slaughter of the Waldensians? The slaughter of the Lollards or Anabaptists? The Hussites? Jan Huss? The inquisition? Does the church still do that? you know, because its ALWAYS been the same. Pope Leo XIII is so obviously WRONG in his statement. There is one thing that the RCC in its magisterium did not expect in the future that would show what amny of them say to be a total lie or a farce. That is, the Internet.

[@2ndBirth]

I know for myself. It was when I came to that place of being broken, empty and not seeing any point in my life, no purpose. I was a broken vessel. Then I asked God "let me know who you are". I wasn't religious, I'm still not. I was ready to make that change. To stop living for myself and start living for God. I asked God for forgiveness and for Him to me my Lord and Saviour. Then I received the Holy Spirit baptism in my bedroom. I hadn't even been near a church and still don't attend a local church building as they all teach false doctrine and are not the true church. The true church are the called out ones, it's the people, rather than a building. Like the aopstle Paul said: 1Co 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 1Co 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. It's all about Jesus and accepting His sacrifice and fully repenting. Changing from following our own will to God's will, which is an ongoing process of sanctification in the word. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Living a new transformed life in Christ. Someone can be a bible expert and not know Christ. He calls all men everywhere to repent and beleive in their hearts. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

[@anthonypuccetti8779]

"The true church are the called out ones, it's the people, rather than a building." The true Church is the one that Christ built upon Peter, which is the Catholic Church.

We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins, as the Spouse in the Canticles [Sgs 6:8] proclaims: ‘One is my dove, my perfect one. She is the only one, the chosen of her who bore her,‘ and she represents one sole mystical body whose Head is Christ and the head of Christ is God [1 Cor 11:3].

The sermon was so disturbing that I couldn't watch to the end.... I felt in my heart of hearts that it couldn't be right - such a strict, narrow definition of salvation was not in line with the infinite Mercy and Love of God. I well remember the Scripture "the will of God is the salvation of all men". Finally, I also felt that this (Salvation) was a truth which is beyond human understanding/knowledge, since, apart from the Saints & Mystics, we do not know with absolute certainty who has been saved and who hasn't. And even the Saints who 'taught' that only a tiny percentage of humans would be saved --- even the Saints are not free of error.

ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: When brothers and sisters who are not in perfect communion with one another come together to pray... their prayer is the soul of the whole ecumenical movement. If Christians, despite their divisions, can grow evermore united in common prayer around Christ, they will grow in their awareness of how little divides them in comparison to what unites them. “It is absolutely clear that ecumenism, the movement promoting Christian unity, is not just some sort of ‘appendix’ which is added to the Church’s traditional activity. Rather, ecumenism is an organic part of her life and work, and, consequently, must pervade all that she is and does.”

@Edward Nehls At Matthew 16:19 Jesus gave the pope the authority to "loose and to bind", that is, the authority to make rules for members of the Church. So what you might consider a man-made rule, for instance clerical celibacy, the rule that requires Catholics to marry in the Church, the rule that requires Catholics to attend Mass every Sunday, or the rule that requires Catholics not to est meat on Fridays during Lent, are actually rules that God backs up----God will send people to Hell for violating these rules (these kinds of rules apply to Catholics only, unlike the ten commandments, which apply to all).

1) "Can be saved" doesn't mean "will be saved". Invincible ignorance means they accepted the grace they had, even if it was few. It's like the servant who received fewer talents but still worked with what he had. With that attitude, he will say yes to God if discover explicit faith. But there are still people who are like the servant who hides the talent, and you can't tell one from the other if you don't see his soul. 2) Even if I received a vision in which universalism happened to be true, I would still preach the Gospel. Because having God also in this life is worth the risk. And because He deserves everyone to love Him and glorify Him. "Love isn't loved!" was saint Francis cry. Salvation is infinitely important, but we should love and make love God for Who He is and have done, independently of that. Attributted to saint John of the Cross: "Even if there were no Heaven, I would love You". Saint Therese of Lissieux: "Even if I end up in hell, I'll praise You from there".

@@livingwater7580 The Anglicans used Rome as a distinguishing marker, English forms tended to have RC aka 'Roman Catholic' not 'Catholic' (I believe the US had something similar). Other forms - were the Church of England was not established - had 'Christian', but if this were ticked, a Protestant minister would be called, not a Catholic priest or religious (whether Roman or Eastern). The Roman communion did distinguish itself from other Ancient Petrine churches (e.g. Antioch or Alexandria) with God's Beloved called to be saints at Rome, Rom 1 : 7-8, or the Holy Roman church/ the Holy Roman Catholic church, and also from other ancient churches that were both Catholic (credal catholic) and Roman (in the Roman empire), e.g. Jerusalem/ Caesarea, Antioch, Damascus, Cyrenaica, Edessa, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Smyrna, Laodicea, Galatia, Cyprus, Alexandria, Pompey, Lyons, Milan, Trier, Verulamium (St Albans), Armenia, Nicea, Elvira, Savile, Carthage, Hippo, Byzantium/ Constantinople/ Second Rome/ Istanbul, and Third Rome/ Kiev/ Moscow, et al. Note well, many of these churches no longer exist, other than in name, having been swept away under the tide of Islam. If I mean the Roman communion (Rom 1 : 7-8) or the Holy See (the Holy Roman church, aka The Vatican), I tend to say so. But the Catholic Church covers all the above, in communion with the Successor to St Peter (and that is as true at St Mary Trastevere or downtown Susquehanna); I am a Catholic, but I answer Roman Catholic on English forms (in the dwindling hope I may still get a Catholic priest in Extreme Unction and not a layperson - or a Protestant).

[@TheLeonhamm]

@@georgepenton808 Absolutely, no further comment needed. God bless. ;o) P.S. As an aside, the Church in communion with Constantinople is also 'Roman' - on two counts. Chiefly, as with Antioch and Alexandria, it accepts (in theory) the defined position of the Patriarch of the West .. even in jurisdiction in terms of honour. However, unlike Armenia, Ethiopia and India, the above were also of Rome Romans, imperially, and much of their own temporal jurisdictional authority rested on that (the three Petrine Sees, Rome, Antioch, and Alexandria having spiritual and temporal authorities resting on his witness not imperial and metropolitan position alone .. if only through Mark, at Alexandria).

[@TheLeonhamm]

Agreed; New Rome was also Roman (in theory and de jure), the reason for it being so, of course, has vanished. Third Rome, aka Kiev or Moscow, has still, perhaps, a tenuous claim to be 'Roman' .. though the absence of any imperial Caesar and Augustus makes that more than a little iffy (as with France, Germany or Austria).

I could not help but notice, that during the Brother's talk, never once was the Bible or any Scripture discussed regarding how one is saved. The entire support for the doctrine of "There is No Salvation Outside the Roman Catholic Church" was based on arguments brought forth by "church fathers", church councils and the Magistarium. The church has been, and continues to be, comprised of individuals who posses varying view points, perceptions and education. This is true even today. One need only read the comments following this video to see that Catholics disagee with not only Protestants but fellow Catholics alike. Over the history of the RCC, members of church councils debated and argued over the development of doctrines and religious traditions. They were never cut and dry because they were products of men. The RCC also has a very troubling history. During the Inquisitions, individuals were tortured and killed if they did not swear allegiance to the Church and recant reformed theology. Many Papal seats were bought and sold, fought over and stolen. There were many very good Popes but unfortunately, some very bad Popes too. Desire for riches, authority, recognition and sexual lust are an ever lasting stain on the Papacy. And why did this occur? Simply, Popes, like all men, are human and subject to sin. They make mistakes just like everyone else. And because of this they, like all men, do not have the right or the authority to pronounce who will and will not be saved. Salvation is a gift from God and He, and He alone, will pass judgement. Throughout the Bible, it is repeated time and again, even by Jesus Christ himself, that salvation is a free gift from God and one only need faith in God to recieve this gift. No church can save you. Only Christ can save you and he offers salvation to anyone who believes in him. It is dependent upon the person to truly believe in Christ to obtain salvation.

One has to question whether a Muslim, particularly one raised in a Muslim-run country, can truly understand what they are rejecting. In reality, it is often not an active, fully-conscious rejection, put a passive acceptance of what they have grown into. Even when they encounter a Christian and hear of the divinity of Christ, this does not mean that they have fully encountered it as they are not necessarily free to do so. There are always many factors to be considered. While some might be attracted to the clarity of the early Church and find current times to be more confusing, we should not equate this with weakness. Rather, it is wisdom and humility. The arrogant comes to quick and clear pronouncements about God. The wise is careful and is open to mercy, recognizing that he or she does not have all the answers.

So I believe with all my heart that Jesus founded his church ONLY ONE CHURCH , the Catholic Church and outside of this church there is no salvation, for a lot of reasons one of them are the sacraments specially the holy EUCHARIST. And I believe all the bishops like the early church father's knew this very clearly.

[@John-jf8lw]

All of this stuff - universal salvation, salvation outside the Catholic Church, baptism of desire, etc. - began during Vatican II. While there were some bad Popes throughout history and there were some major crises that took place over the centuries, the dogma had always been the dogma. Suddenly, major dogmatic teachings of the Catholic Church did a 180 during the 1960s. Why did they change so radically? Why are Catholics now being told not to proselytize and not hold their Catholic faith whole and inviolate? Unfortunately, we did not heed to the warnings of Roman Pontiffs who specifically mentioned these types of false doctrines invading the Church more than a century ago. True traditional Catholic Popes such as Leo XIII and St. Pius X warned us about freemasonry and modernism, respectively. Sadly, both of those evils have seduced many Catholics into thinking that this "modern" doctrine is the way, the truth and the life. "Feeneyism" is a popular target for modernists. They like to think his teachings were novel or revolutionary, which is completely false. All Father Feeney did was preach the same message all the Church Fathers and Doctors had preached for centuries. Sadly, the bizarre admonishment of Feeney by his modernist overlords clearly proves that the demons of Vatican II were creeping into the churches and seminaries long before Vatican II actually happened.

As it is written, without ASSUMPTION, without DOUBT, without SPECULATION, without HESITATION, in the Word of God: (Heb 10:10 [HCSB]) By this will of God, we have been SANCTIFIED through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL. (Heb 10:12 [HCSB]) But this man, after offering ONE SACRIFICE for sins FOREVER, sat down at the right hand of God. (Heb 10:14 [HCSB]) For by ONE OFFERING He has perfected FOREVER those who are SANCTIFIED. "His church", i.e, his people, a "body" of BELIEVERS who have placed their TRUST in the RESURRECTED "Christ", hence called "Christians" (little Christs), CANNOT save anyone. One BECOMES a member of the "body" of Christ, when one BELIEVES/TRUSTS in HIM. The PROCESS is simple. First, one must place their "trust, his "faith", in Christ Jesus, and by so doing OBTAINS Salvation, Eternal life; trust in a "church", an INSTITUTION of people, does not and CANNOT give anyone Salvation. No INSTITUTION owns the "rights" to the Savior Jesus Christ. He is OFFERED to all by God Himself. "But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. "For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. "For the Scripture says, 'Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.' "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. "For 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' " (Romans 10:8-13) ESV2011 The way to be saved, OBTAIN Salvation, according to Scripture, is by "calling on the NAME of the Lord (Jesus Christ)". After one "calls" on Jesus to "save" him then one is MADE a member of Christ's "body", his "ekklesia/assembly of people". Christ's "church" is not an INSTITUTION nor a DENOMINATION nor a BUILDING. It is a CONGREGATION of PEOPLE who are ALL BELIEVERS in Christ. So the question posed here in this video makes NO SENSE for there is neither Salvation "outside of the church, any church" nor is there Salvation "inside the Catholic or any other church". Salvation DOES NOT RESIDE in ANY "church", it RESIDES SOLELY in a Person and that Person is Jesus Christ, who is sitting at the right hand of the Father '"as we speak". No authority or power to GIVE Salvation was ever transferred or given to a "church", a group of individuals; that power has ALWAYS remained exclusively in the hands of God and His son the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, one must go DIRECTLY to Christ, who is in Heaven, and FREELY OBTAIN, by faith through God's UNMERITED Favor and Mercy, eternal Salvation, by "CALLING" on him. "Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. "For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a DAY OF SALVATION I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. "We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry..." (2 Corinthians 6:1-3) The only thing any Christian "church" can do is to POINT you - as I am doing now - to the Man Jesus Christ so that you can "go to him" for your Salvation which HE alone paid for on the "tree" 2000 years ago. "...but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. "Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. "For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. "More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. " (Romans 5:8-11) ESV2011 YOU do NOT have to DO anything to "save" yourself; Christ HAS DONE that for you! His Sacrificial death on Calvary 2000 years ago is still the ONLY sacrifice for sin which can still EFFECTIVELY and COMPLETELY sanctify, cleanse, and save anyone who "goes to him". You do NOT have to go to a "church" because a "church" CANNOT save anyone nor can it offer Salvation to anyone. Only Christ can do that because HE is the Savior of the World, whom God the Father gave so as no one should perish. As Jesus said about his impending death: "...And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever BELIEVES IN HIM may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever BELIEVES IN HIM should not perish but have eternal life. "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be SAVED THROUGH HIM. "Whoever BELIEVES IN HIM is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (John 3:14-18) ESV2011 God GAVE his Son to the world so that the world could be saved by HIM. He did not give a "church" to believe in so that whoever would trust in "her" would be saved. He said that whosoever BELIEVES in "him", NOT in a "church" or what a "church" has to offer, in "him" is Salvation, Eternal Life, because in "him" is the ONE time, never to be repeated/re-sacrificed, ONCE and for all time, ONLY acceptable atonement/propitiation for the sins, available for mankind. This Salvation which is in Christ alone is offered as a FREE Gift, without any "merit" on the believer's side. You cannot work for a "gift" otherwise it is not a "gift". "But the FREE GIFT is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the GRACE (unmerited favor, my note) of God and the FREE GIFT by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. And the FREE GIFT is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the FREE GIFT of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. (Romans 5: 15-17) ESV2011 Salvation is NOT and NEVER has been in a "church" nor in a "church's" Sacraments; Salvation has ALWAYS been solely in ONE Man, the Man Christ Jesus. Paul was POINTING people to Christ, not to a "church" nor to her "sacraments" when he penned these words: "This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires ALL PEOPLE TO BE SAVED and to come to the knowledge of the truth. "For there is one God, and there is ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the MAN Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a RANSOM for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. "For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ( I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. " (1 Timothy 2:3-6) ESV2011 There is but ONE "ransom", but ONE "mediator", and no "church" nor any other person can MEDIATE, nor RANSOM, nor SAVE anyone EXCEPT the Lord Jesus Christ, who sits at God's right hand this very moment. Call on him to save you NOW and he will GIVE you ETERNAL Salvation, which he alone PURCHASED with his blood, 2000 years ago. It is STILL EFFECTIVE for today!

[@anthonypuccetti8779]

No there is not salvation only in Christ. That is not a teaching. Christ is not alone in his divinity or in saving people. The Father and Holy Spirit are also God and they also save. And God saves through his grace and his Church and through faith and obedience, not through Christ's sacrifice alone. Otherwise everyone would be saved by that even without having faith in Christ. And the word of God is not limited to scripture it is also the sacred tradition of the Church which includes scripture. Scripture doesn't say that scrpture is the word of God or inerrant and it doesn't name all its books. The Church taught those things.

[@paulnavarro3822]

@@anthonypuccetti8779 - We understand and even "take it for granted" that God is the ULTIMATE Provider of Salvation; God ULTIMATELY is our Savior. But God has a SPECIFIC way of Salvation and that way is ONLY in and through His Son. Christ was SENT/GIVEN by God for a SPECIFIC purpose, as the Apostle John clearly states: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth IN HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:17 For God SENT not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world THROUGH HIM might be saved. Is John also wrong in saying that it is "through Christ" or "in Christ" that a Man is SAVED? Are you going to condemn him also for not ADDING that the "church" is necessary for Salvation? Did God send Jesus to start a new "church" so that men could be saved through that "church"? The Apostle Paul tells us plainly what God was doing "in Christ". 2Cor 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of RECONCILIATION; 2Cor 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of RECONCILIATION. What did God PROVIDE as a means of RECONCILIATION, i.e. Salvation? Did He provide a "church"? According to Paul He provided a Savior, One PERSON, His Son, the Lord Jesus of Nazareth. What did Jesus HIMSELF -alone, with no help from anyone- actually DO that would save a Man? To whom is every man supposed to LOOK AT? John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the SON OF MAN be lifted up: John 3:15 That whosoever BELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have eternal life. You see, the "good news" is about Christ and that Christ, "who knew no sin" BECAME "sin for us" (as a Sacrifice for sin) and that ATONING and RECONCILIATORY work was accomplished on the Roman execution stake 2,000 years ago. The "good news" is not about a "church", nor "sacraments", nor a "priesthood", nor a "sainthood", nor a "motherhood", but about a SAVIOUR, a REDEEMER, a MESSIAH, and a Kingdom to come of a King of kings on Earth. Payment FOR sin has been made, by Christ ALONE, God's only begotten, with his own shed BLOOD. Read this carefully: Christ has PAID the PRICE for the "wages of sin" with his death whereby, since God resurrected him from the Grave, he can DISPENSE Salvation to: Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess (acknowledge as true) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made UNTO SALVATION. Salvation is not "automatically" given to all men simply because Christ has "paid it all". God is clear that TRUST or FAITH "in His Son" is necessary for Salvation. Primarily it is FAITH in his RECONCILIATORY work on the Roman "cross". The Jews had a tough time accepting that "no more sacrifice for sin" was needed because of Jesus' ONE TIME FOREVER ATONING/RECONCILING WORK on the "cross", i.e., the New Covenant, which God had made with the blood of Jesus as the Sacrificial Lamb. Rome also has a "tough time" in "getting" what Christ's Sacrifice means which is why they have a, as they call it, "repeated or continual sacrifice of sin", which they call the "same sacrifice" as Christ's Sacrifice, which is IMPOSSIBLE. The Scriptures say ONE Sacrifice for sin, not "many of the same kind". What Rome doesn't get, or does get but does not want her people to understand is that, AFTER Christ's Sacrifice for sin on Calvary, God Himself REQUIRES no more sacrifices for sin, PERIOD. To offer "sacrifice" for sin AFTER Christ has ATONED for sin is AGAINST the will of God. Every Roman Catholic should read the book of Hebrews, ON HIS OWN WITH NO ONE LOOKING OVER HIS SHOULDERS. It states as follows: Heb 9:26b ...but NOW ONCE in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. Heb 10:10 By the which will we are SANCTIFIED through the OFFERING of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL. Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had OFFERED ONE SACRIFICE for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. Heb 10:14 For by ONE OFFERING he hath perfected FOR EVER them that are SANCTIFIED. Heb 9:28 So Christ was ONCE OFFERED to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Rome DENYS the efficacy of the ONE SACRIFICE of Christ on the "cross" which historically took place 2,000 years ago. It is THAT ONE "bloody" Sacrifice and THAT "bloody" Sacrifice ALONE which Christ ALONE took upon himself that Sanctifies and Cleanses any man that TRUSTS, i.e. has Faith in Christ, as God Himself requires of a man. For "without faith it is impossible to please God" as says the Scriptures. The Father has SENT the Son and any man that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father. It is through God's Grace (unmerited favor), in making provision for sin, through the obedience of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ in submitting himself to the Father's will by suffering death, so that reconciliation for man's sin could be made, IF A MAN BELIEVES, will OBTAIN that FREE Salvation which Christ ALONE has FULLY PAID for and which God FREELY Gives upon a person's COFESSION of Faith in the Gospel message being preached. Salvation is a FREE GIFT of God given to anyone who TRUSTS in Christ; God WANTS people to TRUST in His Son; no TRUST in the SON is no TRUST in God. Christ is "the door" of Salvation therefore he is the ONLY one whom God has for a man to preach. Paul "preached Christ" for Salvation and through his death on the cross; he did not preach salvation through ANOTHER Name nor through a CHURCH. A "church" is just people and people CANNOT save anyone. No "church" was ever given to provide Salvation. The Son of God, Jesus Christ was GIVEN to provide Salvation through HIS WORK and HIS WORK ALONE on the Roman execution stake. It is through Christ and Christ ALONE that any man can "go to the Father"; it is not a "church" through whom one goes to the Father. 1Tim 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; 1Tim 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1Tim 2:6 Who GAVE HIMSELF A RANSOM for all, to be testified in due time. The fact is that Rome minimizes the POWER and EFFICACY of the HISTORICAL death of Christ. It is THAT ONE TIME historical sacrificial death of Jesus alone that God accepts as PROPITIATION for sin; nothing else will do; it CANNOT be repeated and never will be repeated. No "church" has a monopoly on Salvation for Salvation is freely given by God, as it is WRITTEN in Scriptures, to "whomsoever" believes in Christ. Rome is selling "snake oil" with her Sacraments; there is no Salvation in Rome. The Roman Catholic Church is a man made Religion based on Apostate Christianity and Paganism as all historians duly note. The "Bishops of Rome" and the "Roman Emperors" were the ones who CREATED the Catholic (Universal Empire) Church, i.e., the ROMAN denomination which was seated on the 7 Hills founded by Romulus and Remus. Now, either Salvation is solely "in Christ", as the Scriptures proclaim, or in the "traditions of men" whatever they may be. Choose ONE, but you cannot have both as Jesus said. Matt 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, Matt 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. Matt 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Beware of putting "tradition" BEFORE the Word of God, i.e. the Scriptures.

Our separation from God is a supernatural problem. No amount of our own work can get us there. Hence, we need a supernatural solution: the Sacraments. It's theoretically plausible that God can work outside the Sacraments (He is God, after all) to help those who have not received them. For instance, a person who wants to be baptized but is killed beforehand still is blessed for his desire for baptism. How often does this happen? Well, God knows. Keep praying for the conversion of the whole world.

[@1001011011010]

@@erningpaguirigan5831 Hello, brother! I believe the correct view is thus: In a theological sense, the devil is not a supernatural being. He is a præternatural being. Only God is supernatural Being (hence there are certain miracles that God can do that the devil cannot, though there are things that the devil can do that we cannot). The devil used to be an angel, and still holds such præternatural powers (which are above the natural order). However, he is severely limited in what God allows him to do (in the restrictive, not moral, sense; when I say "allow", I mean in the sense God allows me to sin as opposed to restraining my will and stopping me from sinning, and not as though He morally approves of said actions). For instance, God will not let the demons tempt us beyond our ability to resist a temptation. We sin because we are weak willed, let our disordered passions get ahold of us in this fallen world, and because we are tempted by the devil. All good comes from God, and without God's help, we cannot go any long time without mortal sin. We need to recognize that when we avoid sin, it is the grace of God that lets this happen. His goodness shows forth like a spring; He is Love. It has been said that when we pray for grace, we receive it in that instant. We need to grow more in God so that He can grow in us, that we take in more and more Grace and do not shut His Grace out. God bless us, truly!

How do Catholics define the “Church”? I’m a Protestant simply trying to learn the Catholic perspective. It seems there are some who think the Catholic Church is the end-all-be-all “Church” - but we Protestants don’t believe that. Well I guess I can’t speak for all Protestants - but I’ve always interpreted that the “Church” is a collective of ALL people who confess Jesus as Lord and Savior regardless of the institution. For scriptural reference, see Mark 9:38-41. Peter sees others driving out demons, but they weren’t with Jesus, so he rebuked them. However Jesus corrects Peter and says they are not against them, and indeed for them since they belong to the Messiah. I really don’t know how else you could interpret that text. I realize the Catholic tradition is that only their Church leaders have the authority to interpret Scripture... but how else could you interpret that? I mean, let’s just assume the Catholic Church is the “official” Church or whatever... I’m starting to be convinced that it actually is the church that Jesus and the disciples started. However, wouldn’t Jesus himself be perfectly okay with Protestant churches since they proclaim the Gospel and do good works in His name? We have a different view of works within salvation, but we are doing good works nonetheless. Some see works as a means unto salvation, and others as a result of it... but at the end of the day, we’re all doing it for Christ right? Anyway... I’m just a humble Protestant trying to understand.

The Church is the mystical body and spouse of Christ and household of God. It is not all believers in Christ. That is a protestant error. The Church Fathers never said that. Even the heretical schismatics of ancient times believed in Christ. But they did not belong to the Church and they did not have the faith of the Church. The same is true today. All believers in Christ are do not belong to one body - they are not in communion with each other and they don't have the same faith - so they cannot be members of the Church. The Church has been governed by bishops of Rome since St. Peter established the church of Rome. The bishop of Rome is the source of unity in the Church. Communion with him defines the body of the Church.
