Joann37,
The Catholics you know are just dolts.

“Does the Catholic church stand by John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life; no man come to the Father but by Me”?”
Yes. The Church has always stood by that. Anyone who gets to heaven gets there because of Christ and His grace and no other reason.
“Continuing in this line of thought, the Church’s proclamation of Jesus Christ, “the way, the truth, and the life” (Jn 14:6), today also makes use of the practice of inter-religious dialogue. Such dialogue certainly does not replace, but rather accompanies the missio ad gentes, directed toward that “mystery of unity”, from which “it follows that all men and women who are saved share, though differently, in the same mystery of salvation in Jesus Christ through his Spirit”.5”
“Faithful to God’s word, the Second Vatican Council teaches: “By this revelation then, the deepest truth about God and the salvation of man shines forth in Christ, who is at the same time the mediator and the fullness of all revelation”.9”

Vladimir, thank you so much for your response.
I am going to write to the local archdiocese and tell them what these clowns I know are saying. I am going to name the churches each of these people attend, so that the powers that be can notify these people that there was a true purpose for Jesus dying on the cross for us.
I know this should be obvious to Christians of ALL denominations, but it apparently is not. Again, thanks for your response.
Joann
