Four questions for Christians

[Fidel_Castronaut]

The RCC believed Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus until Vatican II. Before inclusivism was adopted, if you weren't a Catholic, you were in hell.

Or so that was the thought. It was a false belief that had existed for centuries. We need to keep looking over our doctrines and make corrections where needed. The Church can only move forward and fix the mistakes of the past.
We might wanna check out our gay policy next.

I think so too (although I doubt anything will change for several years on that topic).

But I also think the get out of jail clause of being able to retrospectively exonerate oneself from past decision is a bit of a cop out for the RCC. It wasn't a false belief up until V2, then it was. Although as a pragmatist I do appreciate when an organiastion is able to change and adapt to the societal status quo, although I don't much like the idea of being a de facto catholic regardless of what I actually [dont] believe.
