The fact that he is a Monsignor and hasn’t been defrocked for teaching this makes it a legitimate question.
Well, for one, he’s not teaching universalism. He’s teaching extra-ordinary means of salvation.
“It’s not the morals that get you to Heaven... it’s the heart that can get you there. This is very important. Because even for the Christian, A Christian can fulfill every damned moral law there is and end up in Hell. This is a doctrine of the Church... Between truth and love, they are two names for the same reality.”
There are definite problems with what he says. For one, I’d sure hope that he gets into Heaven faster than most Buddhists... unless he’s got something he’s not been bringing to the confessional! But, rather, I think he’s trying to be humble. And by recasting Christian terms in terms a non-believer could understand, he’s missing essential.
But playing “gotcha” with a priest speaking extemporaneously? I’m sure glad you don’t head the Congregation for the Defense of the Faith.
