From the article;

“The pope, the Associated Press said, “reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches ... AND CATHOLICISM PROVIDES THE ONLY TRUE PATH TO SALVATION.” Reuters reported that “the Vatican said Christian denominations outside Roman Catholicism were not full churches of Christ.”

Well, you can believe what AP writes,
you can believe what Reuters writes,

Or you can do the smart thing and go to the Vatican document and read what was actually writen by them.

The pope, the Associated Press said

You realize you are quoting the Associated Press, not the Pope, right?

As has been pointed out many times, but which prejudiced people choose to ignore, the Pope restated Catholic doctrine that salvation is obtained through instrument of the Catholic Church of which Jesus Christ is the head and the Holy Spirit is the guide -- one doesn't have to call oneself "Catholic" to be be saved through the Catholic Church.

Of course prejudiced people do not care to read what was actually said, or take the time to understand Catholic doctrine -- they'd rather just wallow in hate and demonize Catholics.
