This was predictable after the scandalous meeting to honor Luther in Lund where we see a successor to St. Peter and the apostles flanked by gay and lesbian priestesses. Since when did the Catholic Church honor heretics? Germany is the home of Protestantism and the cultural and theological rot of this heresy has undoubtedly influenced the Church in Germany. As then Cardinal Ratzinger pointed out in Dominus Iesus there is no salvation except through the salvific mission of Church.
Yet in contrast Jesus said, 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6 NASB
8But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
9that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
10for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” 12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.” Romans 10:8-13 NASB
