"10. “Are non-Christians all damned then?”

No. Father Feeny was excommunicated by the Catholic Church for teaching that “outside the Church, no salvation” meant outside the visible Church. God does not punish pagans unjustly. He does not punish them for not believing in a Jesus they never heard of, through no fault of their own (invincible ignorance)."

May check with John Paul (in his paperback interview). Of course the RCC teaches all outside are lost. And the rest of this comment is pure gibberish, sliding down the slippery slope of a "rewards religion"...which is just like all other religions. Read Rom. 9. God decided to hate Esau and love Jacob, before they were born, before they had done anything good or evil, so that the choice could His. Now, there is the Gospel. Rome has it wrong, again.

The doctrine that "Outside the Church there is no salvation" is one that is constantly misinterpreted by those who won't submit to the Magisterium of the Church. Read more

“Of course the RCC teaches all outside are lost.”

Hey, Brother Dutchboy - what line is that in the catechism?

You would be a more effective antagonist if you actually had a clue. "Of course" you know more about Catholicism than Peter Kreeft does. "Of course"! Of course Kreeft is a Catholic -- but you obviously know his religion better than he does -- and a philosophy professor with a long list of publications in both philosophy and apologetics, including works that are published by Protestant houses like IVP -- and you are ... your credentials are what ... exactly?

Your statement, *of course*, is quite false. Read the Catechism, nos. 811 through 865.
