The Prayerful Posse offers a clear response to the confusion in the Church. I always find their discussions well reasoned, calm, and charitable. What a blessing in today's hysterical world! If you want out of the weeds of confusion, they can help.
Syncretism is one of the most serious problems we face as Catholics, the idea that all religions are the same. The posse alludes to that in this episode and we heard it on steroids at the Amazon synod in 2019. No need to convert, no need for Catholics to evangelize. I'm okay; you're okay. Bend the knee to Pachamama because we have a lot to learn from the pagans. Ai yi yi!
Remember the priest and bishop who bragged that they never baptized a native even among tribes that practiced ritual cannibalism. [See here and here.] If one accepts the Amazon synod as the voice of the Church, missionary activity is dead. No one's salvation is at risk. Everyone finds their own path to heaven where the cookies, punch, and keys to the heavenly mansions are distributed. All are welcome. Join the procession behind the rainbow flag.
No, people, all religions are NOT paths to God willed by Him as Pope Francis said at Abu Dhabi. The Catholic Church is the one true Church and "outside the Church there is no salvation." That is Catholic doctrine, you know -- doctrine, truth that does not and cannot change!
Does that mean only Catholics will go to heaven? No! It's important to understand the matter. God is not an unreasonable despot who condemns those who never had a chance to hear about the Church. Here are two explanations about the dogma that are well worth reading:
Outside the Church There is No Salvation
Is There Really “No Salvation Outside the Catholic Church?”
I subscribe to the Papal Posse and pray for Fr. Murray and Robert Royal as they share their wisdom and knowledge. We need more of that today when ignorance, feelings, and error seem to rule the world.
Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us!
