You know, there's another Church that preaches that too:

There is no salvation outside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

When they say it, it's heresy. When the Papal church says it, it's sound doctrine. Go figure, I always thought Christ was the arbiter of who gets salvation based upon John 14:6 where he said:

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Good to know that some men have set up institutions to usurp this role from Christ.

And when the Catholic Church says it, it is truth.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Good to know that some men have set up institutions to usurp this role from Christ.

That's not "good to know" at all, it's just irrelevant. Christ is the head of the Catholic Church, and His role shall not be usurped.

When [the LDS] say it, it's heresy. When the Papal church says it, it's sound doctrine.

That's right. It's not hypocrisy. Only the Catholic Church can claim Apostolic succession, which is where the Church gets it's teaching authority. The Church is merely doing what Christ told it to do, as the early Christians did.
