Oh, no. Never.

Not even when the writer of the article includes this in his article.

In his mind, a woman who hides her supposed devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary for fear of rebuke from a heretic “pastor,” and who is steadfast in “worshiping” in a heretical community,

Another hit piece on non-Catholics and Catholics will still be wondering what we object to......

He furthermore has been given to believe that he can determine on his own that one outside the Church, with no possibility of being absolved from his or her sins “faces the Lord,” the presumption being that such a person is fine where they are; outside of the solitary Ark of Salvation.

Well, here we have another *No salvation outside the Catholic church* statement.

And for all the grief I keep getting for stating that, when a Catholic does, it's no big deal.

That's okay. They're belittling their own leadership, too:

This bishop is the current Bishop of Rome; a pope who has demonstrated time and time again an appalling lack of concern for even the most basic duties of his exalted office.

It certainly IS doing that in a backhanded way, but, hard as it is to believe, this is a Roman Catholic posting a thread that belittles other Roman Catholics who don't agree with him and others that since Vatican II the church has been in error. They don't like the ecumenical flavor to what this new Pope, especially, communicates. They are the ones to whom extra Ecclesiam nulla salus is STILL the rock they cling to. Pope Francis, much to their consternation, is WAY too welcoming to other Christian traditions and the changes made to the Catechism incorporating Vat II, referring to its changed text as "reformulated positively", is rejected.

Their dilemma, of course, becomes which dogma to discard - that the Roman Catholic church is infallible or it made errors? Is the Pope the Vicar of Christ, successor to Peter, or did/can "they" get it wrong sometimes?
