Liberal Catholics who tell you that everybody is saved are lying to you about what the Church teaches....it seems these are the same people who educated you....this teaching scandalizes them in the same way people were scandalized when Jesus said "unless you eat my body and drink my blood....."
Nonesense.
In the first place, I was never taught, nor do I believe that "everyone is saved".
Secondly, at 38 years of age, having lived in about 10 states, as many parishes, and having gone to three different Catholic Schools (and CCD) I was exposed to many different types of Catholic Priests, Sisters, and laity - certainly NOT all liberal.
