Nope. It was very meaningful. As were all His statements to His disciples. But never once did He say "he who is not with the Pope is not with God, and who desires to be with God must be with the Pope". Nor did He say "he who is not with Peter is not with God, and who desires to be with God must be with Peter". He said very clearly, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." The debate concerning the primacy of Peter is endless and will not be resolved on FreeRepublic. But there can be no debate concerning whether the path to God leads exclusively through the Pope. It does not. Not even the Catholic Church teaches that. I suggest that if you believe the statement that preceeds this article is true, your beliefs contradict Catholic doctrine as well as the words of Christ Himself.

Jesus never said you had to believe in the Trinity to be called a Christian. He never even said you need to believe in the Bible, or even that the four gospels are true. So, according to your logic, in order for someone to get to heaven, they do not need to believe in any teachings or statements, just that Jesus is Lord. Am I correct?
