Thanks for the Ping.
Most of this was taught to me as a Boy in Catholic Schools.
Only lately have people in the Church said "ALL can be saved , even people outside the Church"
If it means that the possibilty exists for all men to believe that Christ is their savior, then I would agree with that statement. If however, anyone who calls themself a Christian believes that all are saved regardless, heed the words of Christ:
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
And lest there's any confusion, St. Paul elucidates further:
Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!
Simply put, one cannot claim to follow Christ and ignore what He said.
I have been brought up post VAtican II, but am increasingly of hte opinion that the Church erred by trying to "modernise".
