Ah, well, a demon from the pit of hell said it, so I'm going to just uncritically believe it.

The Blessed Virgin is doubtless the most blessed and holy woman to have ever existed and a model for Christians throughout all time. The woman who bore our Savior in her womb and nurtured Him into adulthood is due the highest respect one may pay to any creature. But none of that implies she is "all powerful" - to say so is rank idolatry, which would make sense, coming from an actual demon. Come on guys, you're better than this.

"Just submit to the Magisterium, bro."

The Magisterium:

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the Jewish year, observed with fasting, prayer, and repentance, and with the work of reconciliation with God and with one another. Most Rev. Joseph C. Bambera (@BishopBambera), Bishop of @DioceseOfScr and chairman of the USCCB Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, extends greetings to the Jewish community.

Since the promulgation of Nostra Aetate in 1965, Catholics and Jews in the United States have built decades of dialogue and friendship rooted in a shared scriptural heritage. That relationship carries a responsibility: to reject antisemitism in all its forms, to deepen our understanding of Judaism and the Jewish people, and to work so that Jewish communities can live and worship free from hatred and fear.

[Doctor Tauler 🦬 @EklektosPR]

demonic lies. How can the lies save them? Of course, there's a lot of mental gymnastics, equivocating, and word smithing to try to come up with an answer that sounds orthodox, but it's still the same lie that you can be comfortable in false religion if you're good enough.

[Doctor Tauler 🦬 @EklektosPR]

This whole explanation doesn't really help their case. It's still saying salvation is independent of the object of fear, love, and trust. If the object is something other than Christ and His righteousness, it cannot save you. If the object of faith is "I am doing all I can to

[Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en]

On the whole "You don't have to be a Christian to go to Heaven" thing, a number of points...

1. This has ALWAYS been Church teaching. Read Uber-Trad Garrigou-Lagrange if you don't believe me.

2. It's really important to reject the notion, however implicit, that religion is some sort of video game where the goal is to win rewards and avoid punishments.

IF Christianity is true, a number of things follow, namely:

i. This is relevant to you

ii. You should adopt its worldview and teachings simply because they are true

iii. You should want a relationship with Jesus Christ because He is your all-knowing all-good Creator and loves you

all of which are true and important irrespective of what you have to do to get to Heaven

IF Jesus is who He says He is, then OF COURSE you should follow Him and seek a relationship with Him irrespective of whether that benefits you, whether in this life or the next.

Conversely, if Jesus is NOT who he says He is, Heaven and Hell are irrelevant anyway.

3. Even from the narrow point of view of "What do I need to do to go to Heaven?" (which is a legitimate question, just not the most important question), there's no equivalency.

The Church says:
- if you believe in Jesus, belong to His Church, and obey the Ten Commandments, you WILL be saved
- if you don't, there's a CHANCE you CAN be saved

And we don't know what that chance is. Could be high. Could be low.

So, from the point of view of the narrow self-interest of someone who says "Well, I don't need to join the Church, because according to its teachings, I can be saved even if I don't"--you're still gambling with your eternal life! There's one path where salvation is CERTAIN, and another path where the best we can say is: there's a CHANCE. Paging Blaise Pascal.

And, from the point of view of Christians themselves, they are still perfectly justified in fearing for the eternal future of their friends and wishing for them to come to know Christ--even as they can hope and pray that, if they don't, they can still be saved. Possible to hold both ideas in the brain.

equivocates in order to justify heresy. Those who hold to the Catholic faith are anathema for saying faith alone justifies for Christ's sake, but the pagans are said to have "a chance" to be saved because they're doing the work and they're "sincere." They sincerely believe

It says converting other religions "no longer makes sense" in a global village.

[Samuel 🕊️ @logos_asarkos]

Why not? Because:

“All Scripture, all the Church cries out that the Law cannot be satisfied. Therefore this inchoate fulfilment of the Law does not please on its own account, but on account of faith in Christ. Otherwise the Law always accuses us. For who loves or fears God sufficiently? Who with sufficient patience bears the afflictions imposed by God? Who does not frequently doubt whether human affairs are ruled by God’s counsel or by chance? Who does not frequently doubt whether he be heard by God? Who is not frequently enraged because the wicked enjoy a better lot than the pious, because the pious are oppressed by the wicked? Who does satisfaction to his own calling? Who loves his neighbor as himself? Who is not tempted by lust? Accordingly, Paul says, Rom. 7:19: ‘The good that I would I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.’ Likewise 7:25: ‘With the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin.’ Here he openly declares that he serves the law of sin. And David says, Ps. 143:2: ‘Enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.’”

[Samuel 🕊️ @logos_asarkos]

"Therefore, if you believe that your sins cannot be blotted out except by him against whom alone you have sinned, and into whom sin does not fall, you do well; but add further that you also believe this, that through him your sins are forgiven you. This is the testimony which the Holy Spirit bears in your heart, saying: 'Your sins are forgiven you.' For thus the Apostle judges that a man is justified freely through faith [Rom. 3:28]."
