"Go ye into the whole world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall he condemned. (13)

Our Lord left this mandate to His Apostles just before His glorious Ascension. For one thousand nine hundred and sixty-five years (give or take), the successors of the Apostles, the Bishops, did just that. It is the reason for the Church’s existence. It is Her divine Mission!

For the past forty years, this mission has been ignored and recently it has been denied. Ecumenism is at the heart of this denial. The belief by many in the hierarchy that all men will be ultimately be saved is implicit in the intentional mistranslation of the words of Consecration (the form) of the wine in the New Order Mass. It is simply a lie to pretend that Jesus said that His blood “will be shed for you and for all”. This is a complete contradiction of the Roman Catechism (the Catechism of the Council of Trent):

With regard to the consecration of the wine, which is the other element of this Sacrament, the priest, for the reason we have already assigned, ought of necessity to be well acquainted with, and well understand its form. We are then firmly to believe that it consists in the following words: This is the chalice of my blood, of the new and eternal testament, the mystery of faith, which shall be shed for you and for many, to the remission of sins. (14)"

Christ died for all men. Whether all men will avail themselves of the saving grace is the question.
