The Vatican is set to open five sacred portals starting on Christmas Eve for the first time in 25 years.

The opening of the Holy Doors marks the beginning of the 2025 Jubilee which is a year of forgiveness, reconciliation and renewed focus on the spiritual life....

At the start of Christmas Eve Mass, Pope Francis will push open the Holy Door in St Peter’s Basilica, which will stay open throughout the year to allow the estimated 32 million pilgrims projected to visit Rome to pass through....

The process of opening the four basilica doors involves removing the brick wall that covers each door from the inside of the basilica, followed by the Pope pushing the doors open to signal the beginning of the Holy Year.

When Jubilee finishes on January 6, 2026, the Pope will be the last person to walk through each of the four doors before closing them, which will then be bricked up and sealed....

Where exactly in scripture does it say Jesus and these 4 doors are the way to God?

Where did the inspired doctrinal truth for 4 doors to bypass Christs mercy as a way to heaven come from?

You mean like sola scriptura, the pre-trib rapture, and OSAS?

Only Jesus Christ can save Catholics, or anyone else, from eternal damnation.

I am not starting a debate about the pros and cons of confession. If you want a debate, go start a thread on the Religion Forum.

But a quick internet search confirms that opening or walking through these doors does nothing with regard washing away the stain of mortal sin. Nor is the Church making such a claim.

Removing mortal sin can be achieved only through a valid confession, holy unction, and/or perfect contrition.

The headline is fake news.

Exactly. The holy doors are opened every 25 years.

The title of the article is either written by someone totally stupid or ignorant. In Latin Porta can mean depending on context either door or gate, it is the same way in Italian, porta means door or gate. The Holy Door of Saint Peters which is only opened for Jubilee years was opened last night for the first time since 2000 when Pope John Paul II opened it.

https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2024-12/pope-francis-opens-holy-door-ushering-in-the-jubilee-of-hope.html

The message of this years, like all jubilees is for Catholics to first embrace the forgiveness (go to the Sacrament of Confession] and then seek reconciliation with each other (family members, friends, or parishioners that maybe we have had a fallen out with].

Let's review some basics:

  1. Walking through the "holy doors", or actually the pilgrimage necessary to get to them, combined with meeting the "usual conditions" (a good confession, the devout reception of holy communion, and prayers for the intention of the Pope) earns one an indulgence. (Note for the Protestant fire-breathers: there is no charge; it is completely free.)
  2. An indulgence frees one from purgatory. Since only the saved can even get to purgatory, it has nothing to do with "avoiding eternal damnation".
  3. Why would the Daily Mail get something so basic so completely wrong? Well, it's a secular paper in a traditionally anti-Catholic, and now just plain anti-Christian, country. Don't worry, they hate evangelicals as much as they hate Catholics. Muslims, on the other hand ...

When will people realize that Catholicism is a total made up religion. First off, name me one author of the New testament that knew Jesus, was there at the Crucifixion or anybody else that was there for the resurrection. Did any of his disciples write anything down and as a matter of fact Jesus never wrote anything down, the church was nothing more than an avenue to control people. It also spread to the protestants. MLK hated the jews after he could not recruit them, his writings tell that story. So sick and tired of Christian religion brainwashing people because that is the same tactic Islam uses. More people have been killed over religion issues than any other political issue.

Yes, and Catholics know that. Now if the Daily Mail could be convinced to get a clue somewhere.
