Nice thoughts but they didn’t answer the questions.

Do you object to them or chastise the Catholic who posted them?

[Not gonna take it anymore]

Why would I chastise anyone? That’s not my place. You are going to face Christ at the final judgment. You are going to have to explain to Christ why you gave him up in the Eucharist and spoke against his church for the rest of your life. I’m not going to have to do that, you are.

Metmom, I hate it when Catholics say or imply that non-Catholics cannot be saved; and when they say such things, they disgrace Catholicism and oppose true Catholic doctrine.

We need to re-direct such people back to the Catechism, in particular paragraph 818-819:

" ...All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."

"Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements."

Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him, and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."

Metmom and NotGonna, I wish you could save or bookmark this link:

Catechism of the Catholic Church, 818 and 819.

When necessary, roll it up and pop offensive Catholic posters on the nose with it. In the nicest possible way.
