I am a devout Catholic but I fully expect to spend time being purified in Purgatory. I pray for the conversion of the whole world and I do know many fallen away Catholics and people who are Jewish and practice other religions who are much holier than I am. It’s not a competition but I still pray for all to come home to the Catholic Church. It’s all ultimately in Gods capable hands. 🥰🙏

Wow! Excellent video! The Holy Catholic Church teaches that there is no salvation outside of her! I have struggled with this, and one day, I prayed before the Blessed Sacrament, I asked the Lord for clarification. He spoke to me and stated this true; however, he is the judge of the living in the dead, and only he will determine who is in his church and who is not. As Catholics, much is given to us, and we will have a stricter judgment. That is why we must pray for the souls in Purgatory, for the conversion of sinners and fallen away Catholics. Also, our Lord states in Mark 9 how the other apostles will not lose their reward. We also need to pray for the conversion of other religions to the Catholic faith.

[@rohanrasquinha7514]

Yes you are right. I was also of the opinion that only christians can go to heaven. But to my surprise, God spoke to me in my thoughts and said , will judge every one based on deeds. He also cautioned me to be fair, for every one knows what is fair and what is not.

Let us also not forget that Catholicism is incomparably advantageous for both salvation and sanctification. It is true that God is not limited by the visible powers of the Church, however, the likelihood of salvation is far higher among Catholics simply because we have received everything Christ willed for our salvation and sanctification.

Thanks for your great work. These are good answers to the questions that many Christians ask.

[@mufuasisugu]

From my point of view one of the major consequence of this teaching is the killing of the missionary spirit. All that's needed is to teach people to be good and God will save them extraordinarily through invincible means of grace.

[@DrChristineBacon]

@mufuasisugu no. It doesn't. We all need to convert them for the sake of their souls and the graces they'd receive. This conversation is much too deep for a simple post but God knows their hearts and also the scams and lies going on now that prevent good people from joining the church.

[@mufuasisugu]

One of the greatest consoling thought in my Christian life has always been that God thought us worthy to belong to his flock, and for this very reason sent us his servants to bring us the good news of salvation though we're in the middle of nowhere. Most of the missionaries died trying to reach us having never stepped foot on this side of the Sahara, strange diseases ravaged them hostile tribes assailed them and still they persevered. If for a moment they thought that God could save us through extraordinary means outside the walls of the Church, this would have been a fools errand.

[@mufuasisugu]

I admit I am a simple man and I could be completely out of my depth here but the final consequences of this teaching I find very troubling; -if it's not the quenching of the missionary spirit, then it's the limiting of God's power to reach those he finds deserving with his Gospel ,and if not these it's the disillusionment of the converts who have been made outcasts from their communities by adopting a new religion while the old one would have sufficed for their salvation.

Church teaching definitely supports this position. Holiness is subjective, while the Catholic Church (as Christine read) is still the objective highest path. This is a teaching lesson, for those in true love and humility and not a blind state of fear and hate. Those who recoil at this must examine their own hearts for although Catholic in name, they will be held to a high standard and not automatically granted Grace for saying Lord Lord.... but for doing His Will, which is love. Virtuous pagans can indeed out love bad Catholic. Happens every day. The comment section of this video being example A

[@gregchrysostom2193]

That's not true. There is a difference between "not believing in" and consciously rejecting Jesus. Muslims dont "reject Jesus." They dont believe he is God, obviously. But beyond that, He IS the Muslim messiah and they do believe he was born of a virgin. How one can believe someone has God as their father and no earthly man and not believe they too are God, Im not entirely sure...But at any rate, Muslims who study and should know better will be held accountable for not believing in Jesus' divinity. But there are plenty in the world who will not be aware until they enter Heaven because of invincible ignorance and can still receive grace accordingly.

God is interested in our learning forgiveness and letting bitterness go. We look at our lives experiences as I have and have resented some of the evil which was done to me, which also drove me into the arms of Jesus. I have to see His Grace was always greater and let the unforgiveness go. So now I look at these things more as Christ’s permissive love as these drove me to Him. I am not Catholic, and find that some of Catholic teachings as unbiblical. I have met both hard hearted Catholics but also those who love Jesus like I do. No matter if we are Catholic or Protestant, we need to repent and to forgive and to love as Jesus taught us. I do consider prayer as a form of worship in that how can one hear me if they are not in the Trinity? The Bible does not teach prayer to saints but to be inspired by them and their devotion to our Lord Jesus. Our Lord and St. John the Baptist called us to repentance and to live holy lives. Penance is not repentance but we are called to cease from sin. It is not a church which saves, it is from the beginning and still is, that we receive Jesus and love others like He did and live our lives in service to Him and to others.

[@michaelcummings8744]

Inventor Knight... they are saved by the invisible walls of the Church. Christ provides His Graces through other means and they are still saved through Christ and the invisible Church with its outflow of Grace. But these misguided people still subjectively with this grace and exception made for their lesser path were able to attain genuine holiness. And thanks be to God! But by the Grace of God, therego I!

If God Chooses, he can reveal himself at the hour of death if they truly tried to love God.

No it isn't. Do you understand the doctrine of no salvation outside of the church? It doesn't mean you have to be a card carrying catholic to obtain salvation- this is actually heresy called feeyneyism. There's 3 types of baptisms: by water, blood or desire. Secondly, invincible ignorance is attached to this doctrine which means not everyone has access to the complete truth which will be taken into judgement. The third point is no salvation outside the church means those who are technically outside of the church only obtain salvation by the grace that comes from the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.

[@sgc603]

@@camillaway2884 Pages 312-313 of Ludwig Ott's Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma delve into the Catholic Church's teaching on the necessity of the Church for salvation, encapsulated in the doctrine Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus ("Outside the Church, there is no salvation"). Ott discusses the Church's understanding of this doctrine, including the recognition of "baptism of desire" and "baptism of blood" as means by which individuals not formally within the Church can attain salvation. This perspective contrasts with the rigid interpretation known as Feeneyism, which denies the efficacy of these forms of baptism.

Pamela, I don't know the answer. I know we're called to pray for them; I believe the Holy Spirit will lead you. I live in the boonies in my state & have neighbors who have struggles drug use etc. Aside from sometimes being concerned for my safety I knew I needed to keep praying & we need discernment. I've been led to give one neighbor a meal at Christmas & I know it wasn't inspired by me. That's when I prayed for guidance. Another neighbor who seemed like a very grumpy old man who would pound on my window or door to ask me what day it was led to an unexpected change in my usual routine. Last year he asked me to call an ambulance for him which I did; he never made it back home but he was hospitalized for awhile. In my concern I found out what hospital he was in & visited. He was very surprised. Later as he was moved to a nursing home for hospice care I continued to visit for over 8 months. This his elderly man wasn't much older than me in his 80s & it was a challenge some days to go. I shared with my priest how I knew I was supposed to visit but I really didn't want to at times, he said to pray a Hail Mary everyday I planned to go. I started looking forward to going even began visiting with others there. I was the only visitor of my neighbor as he never married & had a nephew out of state. My neighbor passed away on a day I was bringing his favorite treats. I cried. I've been visiting other residents there & shed more tears along the way but am so grateful to be blessed by praying with them & just being present.

Im pretty sure there is video whete Christine talks about thevfollowing case of two souls that Maria Simma learned about by request of some people trying to test her: One soul was a woman who was sinful and died when being hit by a train. The other one was a priest that everybody in his parish considered holy. The priest was in purgatory for a long time (not sure if till the end of times and deep in purgatory) because he refused to say a mass for the woman hit by tbe train as she was sinful or was not catholic, dont remember but so.ething like that. The woman went straight to heaven (no purgatory at all) because, and i can't stress this enough, she said when she realized she was being hit by the train "at least I will not offend you more", not because she repented but because she said that. Let's assumed that she repented when saying that; however, does that not contradict the teaching of the Church that we have to pay in purgatory for our sins anyways? I mean, she did not die in state of grace. That raised my doubts on Maria Simma although it may have been that it was not actual souls purgatory talking to her about that specific case.

Just arguing from the other point of view, according to this book, if it is so much harder for Catholics to get to heaven, for the sake of logic, why would anyone become Catholic? Why did Our Lord give us the Sacraments? For us to just have something to do? And why did all the Apostles except one die a martyr's death as well as thousands of other Saints so they could convert people to the One True Faith? There is such a thing as Baptism by desire but it is harder to have that than it seems. People don't bother trashing me in the comments. This book contradicts Catholic dogmatic teaching. Let's go back to St. Frances of Rome or St. Catherine of Genoa.

[@DrChristineBacon]

@kathleenprice662 I think something is misunderstood here. We become Catholic because it's the truest path to Christ, and He calls us to it. But what makes it harder is Jesus' words "To whom much is given, much will be expected." Many so-called Catholics have no idea what their faith teaches and live according to their own desires. Think of those so-called Catholic politicians (like that guy who sits in our presidential office) who are rabidly pro-abortion.

But you also have no idea if when the Lord called him or her home, they didn't see Jesus on the way there and choose Him. These blanket assumptions that people can worship in another religion and then nonchalantly know that they'll have their salvation is what's troubling. This video doesn't imply any of that.

Now, this doesn't sound real after all

[@gregchrysostom2193]

Why do you say that?

[@johnknight2012]

If God Chooses, he can reveal himself at the hour of death if they truly tried to love God. Still, they're not getting into heaven unless they accept Jesus fully as God and receives remission of sins and drop their pagan religions in other words, they become Christian fully. You are correct: No one goes to the Father except through Me they still have to be converted by Jesus directly. There's no Hindu, Muslim, bundist or new ager in heaven.

I have a problem here with Simma.....how do we know the author hasn't distorted her words Eg.... She said John Lennon the Beatle is in heaven 😮 The man didn't believe in God for one. 2. He blasphemed Jesus by saying that he is more popular than Jesus 3. He does not believe in heaven or hell... Listen to his Imagine song Something stinks here with these writings

[@DrChristineBacon]

@chommie5350 i don't ever listen to anyone about these things. They could be in error. I just agree on principle work the concepts of the book. Only God knows who's in heaven (and the Church who's declared someone a saint). I agree with that discomfort, but it doesn't sway me away from the rest.

[@marlelarmarlelar9547]

No way. Poor Maria is being deceived by Satan's minions.

[@mlg9024]

Well now I know not to buy this book or listen to this series anymore! Mary saying some other religions are ok!?!? Are you crazy??? Tsk tsk Christine!

[@DrChristineBacon]

@mlg9024 she NEVER said other religions are "Ok". You need to listen with discerning ears. She said there will be people there FROM other religions but you have ZERO idea if they accepted Jesus when they meet Him as they were dying or what other graces the Lord granted. The ONLY way to heaven is THROUGH Jesus. Your scope is too narrow. Don't limit God.

Where did this 'Purgatory' thing came from? Not the Bible.

[@clarekuehn4372]

Medjugorje is a false apparition. Simma may not have known that.

[@DrChristineBacon]

@clarekuehn4372 not according to the Vatican and all the fruit is produced. The Vatican gave or the nihil obstacles in 2024 so Maria is spot on.

[@gregchrysostom2193]

The Church just recently fully approved Medjugorje.

[@christina507]

The litmus test of any private revelation (to test the spirit - good spirit, bad spirit, human spirit): does it contradict Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium? These so call revelations from purgatory sound like that are revelations from hell. Woe is me!

[@DrChristineBacon]

@christina507 This does not contradict scripture.

[@gregchrysostom2193]

They dont contradict Scripture or the Magisterium. "No salvation outside the Church" means outside union with Christ. What does Romans 2 suggest about union with Christ?

Our best bet is to hold fast to what the scripture and catechism teaches. We live in deceitful times. Be careful.

[@gregchrysostom2193]

@@johnknight2012 Where does Church teaching suggest there is a theology test to get into Heaven? Why do we think it's ultimately about belief, rather than charity? What does Romans 2 tell us about belief?

1. the bible says that once you die, you can't come back. hebrews 9:27. 2. jesus said " I am the way, the truth, the life, no one comes to the father but by me. john 14:6. therefore catholicism is a false religion. 3. the devil comes as an angel of light to deceive people. 2 corinthians 11:14. the visions of mary are demonic or just made up. 4. people are never saved by works. ephesians 2:8-10. 5. everyone already knows what's right and wrong internally. romans 1 :18-20, romans 2: 14-16. 5. there is no purgatory. it was invented by the catholic church in 1274 in lyon. 6. transubstantiation was invented by the catholic church in 1215 at the 4th lateran council. 7. the office of pope was invented by the catholic church. there is nothing in the bible that says that the apostle peter had a successer. the only authority is the bible, not the made up nonsense of catholicism.

[@AlanThomas-hp3fn]

There is no salvationtion outside the Catholic church. That is an infallible dogma..

[@amymargesonia9228]

True. I always understood that , when Catholics pray the divine mercy chaplet, fast and do penance and other prayers for the whole world , God applies that to whoever he sees fit whatever religion they may be following. Look at the structure of the Divine Mercy Chaplet .

[@AlanThomas-hp3fn]

@amymargesonia9228 Devine mercy was placed on the forbidden index by PiusXII. Do not expect it to work what so even. It is bound in heaven also. The false church of Vatican II is not the Catholic church. JPII did HAVE THE POWER TO not have the power to unbind the devotion.

[@theartofstephaniahnalah]

@@teresa19716 THAT'S nonsense! That's induced ignorance. The bible itself says that we should do that, which he spoke of in writing and orally. He did not intend for us to learn only that which was in the bible.

Does the Bible say the only book we should be reading is the Bible?

[@agatatres9076]

Its called "knowledge" - the Apostle Peter said to you to add your faith with knowledge ( 2 Peter 1:5 )

[@ozorvee3442]

You sound like Pope Francis. "All religions are a means to God." We should listen to the authentic magisterium of the church not to a soul from the land of the dead! Discern! Discern!! Discern!!!
