Not to mention the Council of Trent, a few hundred papal bulls . . . And yet the current pope regards people of all religions to have a part in the kingdom of heaven. Most curious, that . . .

Would you PLEASE bother to cite any of these things, not that you can because it's false, but so that your inaccuracies can be clearly outlined and explained.

And please don't bring forward anything that has the word anathema, as the correct understanding and use of that term has already been explained here by another poster very nicely, so if you try to say that an anathema condemns Protestants to hell or some-such, the people following this thread will know you are clueless.

So, with that caveat in mind, go ahead and bring forward your evidences,if you can.

I've already responded to you on the definition of "anathema" according to your own sources. Ergo, my first post stands.

Oh, and here's another one:
"That there is only One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church we are compelled by faith to believe and hold, and we firmly believe in her and sincerely confess her, outside of whom there is neither salvation nor remission of sins . . . Furthermore, we declare, state, and define that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of all human beings that they submit to the Roman Pontiff [Porro subesse Romano Pontifici omni humanae creaturae declaramus, dicimus, definimus, et pronunciamus omnino esse de necessitate salutis]."

-- POPE BONIFACE VIII, Bull Unam Sanctam (November 18, 1302 AD) as cited in The Christian Faith by Neuner/Dupuis, page 280-1

So, either Pope Boniface VIII was not only wrong, but downright heretical in his bull, or it is the official Catholic teaching that all Protestants are going to hell.
