as a condition for salvation?? so whatever the pope says goes??
I don’t think so.
The only condition for salvation is faith in Christ...not fighting in the Crusades.
hey eagle...
“...whatever the pope says goes”
you are utterly, totally and categorically wrong.
The ONLY thing ever infallible about a pope’s teaching is when he speaks “ex cathedra” meaning from the chair (of Peter) and then ONLY on matters of faith and morals (no picking infallible brackets like the pres).
“the actual occurrence of an ex cathedra statement is quite rare. It is generally understood to have only occurred twice: Pope Pius IX’s definition of the dogma of Mary’s Immaculate Conception in 1854 and Pope Pius XII’s definition of the dogma of Mary’s Assumption in 1950. In both of these cases, the Pope was not teaching something new. Rather, he was confirming and clarifying something that the Church had already believed as part of God’s revelation. “

hi eagle
you said:”The only condition for salvation is faith in Christ...not fighting in the Crusades.”
I am sorry you are categorically wrong - nowhere will you find that Urban II made fighting in the Crusades a ‘condition of salvation’.
You will need to find the quotation from a papal bull, encyclical, etc. exactly where he stated that - otherwise it is just a figment of your protestant imagination.
