Is Universalism the current teaching of the RCC?

No, because Universalism presumes apon the mercy of God. I must fear the loss of my own soul if I reject what is offered to me. It's just that I must recognize that some people who have appeared to rejected Christ have done so because they have not known him fully.

We can refuse God's mercy. That does not say that God is not all-powerful; it says that God chooses NOT to use all his power because if he did use all his power, we could not choose to love him (and then it would not be love.)

Ok, I was wondering because your option 3 had Jesus saving everybody. Did you misspeak or did I misunderstand?

What makes love possible?
