I know it is the protestant’s desire to think this is what the Church teaches, but it is not. In regards to that passage from the catechism which is used to support that claim, as usual, the protestants are wrong in their understanding.

Well then maybe you should talk to your Pope .

Some interesting tidbits from the Vatican written by Benedict himself
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/homilies/2007/documents/hf_ben-xvi_hom_20070106_epifania_en.html
Who then are the "Magi" of today, and what point has their "journey" and our "journey" reached? Dear brothers and sisters, let us return to that special moment of grace, the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council on 8 December 1965, when the Council Fathers addressed certain "Messages" to all humanity.

The first was addressed "To Rulers" and the second, "To Men of Thought and Science". These are two categories of people who, in a certain way, we can see portrayed in the evangelical figures of the Magi.

I would then like to add a third category, to which the Council did not address a message but which was very present in its attention in the conciliar Decree Nostra Aetate. I am referring to the spiritual leaders of the great non-Christian religions. Two thousand years later, we can thus recognize in the figures of the Magi a sort of prefiguration of these three constitutive dimensions of modern humanism: the political, scientific and religious dimensions.


Does this man even read the Bible at all ? Lookie lookie at what he says here in the same letter

The need to work out a new world political and economic order was emerging but, at the same time and above all, one that would be both spiritual and cultural, that is, a renewed humanism.

This observation became more and more obvious: a new world economic and political order cannot work unless there is a spiritual renewal, unless we can once again draw close to God and find God in our midst.

From his very mouth he states he wants a NEW WORLD ORDER ... a HUMANIST one at that .... just what kind of spirit does this man have ?
