Fr. Groeschel- God is neither Catholic nor Orthodox, God is God

Fr. Groeschel explains why the pope reaches out ecumenically to Jews, our elder brothers in faith, and to our Muslim brothers and sisters. God is God and above a single Church. As we all know, you do not need to be a Catholic to make it to heaven.

>As we all know, you do not need to be a Catholic to make it to heaven.

Who said that?

[FFRenewal]

Benedict XVI said it. Almost every member of the clergy believes it. John Paul II flirted with the Von Balthasar's idea of universal salvation.

Vatican II paved the way for some major changes in Catholic theology.

[DanSOConnor]

In one sense God is obviously not Catholic because the Catholic Church is His bride, and He cannot marry Himself.

On the other hand, it was very dangerous for Fr. Groeschel to say this without clarification that the Catholic Church absolutely IS the One True Church of God (perhaps he did clarify that later; the clip ends quickly).

New Age Clap Trap... The Catechism spells it out pretty clear. You might be allowed to enter paradise if you never knew of Christ or His One True Church and followed natural law; however, if you have heard of Jesus Christ and rejected him and his Church, now you have some answering to do...

@FFRenewal @FFRenewal I think this provides some good clarification of the Church's teaching on salvation:

h t t p : / / w w w . j i m m y a k i n . o r g / 2 0 0 5 / 0 7 / t h e _ c a t h o l i c _ c h . h t m l

@FFRenewal

I would like to see a quote or such supporting that.Since not even Vatican II said such.

I do not believe even Fr.Groeschel would mean such.I have faith in his orthodoxy

@mhowardONE Father Groeschel would be first to hug your neck and love you in truth.You are starved for love and have,like me once, been mislead..I have seen in front of my face the Stigmata.Witnessed a very Holy Catholic man with this.Read about the saints.Too many my friend.Read history on Fatima's 70,000 witnesses.You are hurt and hate my friend.Come to really know God'sTruth.

[airplanman]

@mhowardONE You need to really know God..I came to Catholic faith by trying to disprove it.You like me,a year ago,lack understanding.Start with history.Early church fathers.Look at the saints .Read the bible.Look at Fatima 1917..Stigmata..I know , I have been there and experience more love my friend.I have experienced miracles..Love My brother..Love God.

[SAYYOURROSARY]

mhowardONE would you like to debate any of these katholick boy know nothings ?

[mhowardONE]

This is a delusion. There is no such "animal" a a Change in Catholic theology. What Blasphemy this is. A dogma cannot be changed, neither may anything in the Real Deposit of Faith be "retaught."

Where and how did you come to "believe" such lies. Your soul is in danger due to this. Vatican II is and always will be an Evil Council, which brought about The Great Apostasy. Look at its Fruits-Rotten.

I am sorry to be stern but this is Truth.

.

God's Church is immutable in its teachings.

[mhowardONE]

Jews and Others Outside the Chuch Who Have Not Converted to Real Catholicism Are Condemned, In The Majority of Cases, Excepting Death Bed, True Conversions or By the Grace of Mercy.

FACT - This Is What Was and Is supposed to Be Taught Now, Taught and Explicated For All Time and IS In The One, True Catholic Church...

God Does Not Deceive! Apostates Do and Willingly.

They Are of The Devil! This Man Above Teaches Other Than Christ And His Vicars Taught. He Is A Traitor to Truth!
