What Catholics understand by "Church" and "the Church" and how they view the necessity of Baptism has been so often laid out on FR that the kindest possible explanation for the arguments offered against what Pope Francis said is culpable negligence.
Another freeper has put up a couple of threads arguing against basic dogma of Catholicism but has done so without the lust for specious victory which is too often seen here. There's no need and no profit in the kind of argumentative response this thread already shows.

Same old on this hand or that. Not one ounce of Christian meat in the above words, words, words.

And Peter got that set of 'keys', not all this evolution and addition of traditions of men.
