It just looks like the Catholic church is today bidding fair to MAKE itself the basis of a "one world religion." And the charismatic movement is the least they have to worry about. The church which years ago said a person had to explicitly claim Roman Catholicism or be lost (at least they took the exclusivity message of Christianity seriously) is now even trying to embrace Islam and saying that unconverted non-Christians are on their way to heaven if they believe in one God (only renegade Catholics are barred). That's a nice, well meaning gesture on their part; if I really believed that God had vested me with the authority to dictate who gets into heaven, I'd do it too; but it isn't biblical.

Your ignorant oversimplification of the Church's teaching is astounding. The only people you are going to sway with your half lies is other mislead buffoons. I feel sorry for you.
Liberalism must be crushed!
The idea is catching on.

"It just looks like the Catholic church is today bidding fair to MAKE itself the basis of a "one world religion." "
Today? How bout for the last 2000 years. Does that bother you? Did Jesus say preach the gospel to the whole world? I think so. It's called evangelization. And Catholics are not the only Christians who do it. Now I am trying to imagine a one world religion called Southern Baptist. Which I could accuse Southern Baptists of trying to spread because they certainly have energetic missions and missionaries. But I don't have unfounded, conspiratiorial fears of other denominations.
Strange. When Catholics evangelize it's a conspiracy to take over the world. But when Baptists do it it is a blessed thing.
