Pope: "Atheists can go to heaven"- intellectual dishonesty?

Quote:...but the Bible has the "saved through works" bit that a lot ignore and just go on about faith is enough...
No...that's not entirely it...faith and works do go together. It's not one or the other...

Ephesians 2: 8-9:
Quote:8 For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

James 2: 14-26
Quote:18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works....

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Quote:It was an awful mistake to characterize based upon religion. I should not judge any theist that way, I must remember what I said in order to change.
