The “quote” from Paul VI really was fake. And the real quote says exactly the opposite of the fake “quote.”

Show them both - side by side.

 
 

I'll make it easy...


REAL FAKE

 

Here's the code for it:

FAKE “QUOTE” from Paul VI:

1) “WE BELIEVE THE CHURCH IS NECESSARY FOR SALVATION BECAUSE CHRIST, WHO IS THE SOLE MEDIATOR AND EXCLUSIVE WAY OF SALVATION, RENDERS HIMSELF PRESENT FOR US IN HIS BODY WHICH IS THE CHURCH. WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THE UNITY OF THE MYSTICAL BODY, WITHOUT WHICH THERE CAN BE NO SALVATION, IS OPEN TO NO ONE OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.” Pope Paul VI

REAL QUOTE from Paul VI:

22. Recognizing also the existence, outside the organism of the Church of Christ, of numerous elements of truth and sanctification which belong to her as her own and tend to Catholic unity, and believing in the action of the Holy Spirit who stirs up in the heart of the disciples of Christ love of this unity, we entertain the hope that the Christians who are not yet in the full communion of the one only Church will one day be reunited in one flock with one only shepherd.

23. We believe that the Church is necessary for salvation, because Christ, who is the sole mediator and way of salvation, renders Himself present for us in His body which is the Church. But the divine design of salvation embraces all men; and those who without fault on their part do not know the Gospel of Christ and His Church, but seek God sincerely, and under the influence of grace endeavor to do His will as recognized through the promptings of their conscience, they, in a number known only to God, can obtain salvation.

As you can see quite easily, the fake quote represents Paul VI as saying that all non-Catholics are damned. The real quote says exactly the opposite. The whole point of this thread was to accuse the Catholic Church of teaching that all non-Catholics are damned, and that the Catholic Church is therefore a “cult” (in some negative, one might say “damning,” sense).
