Didn't the Vatican refute his proclamation though? I thought I read where they issued a "clarification" which insinuated that without faith in God & Jesus one wouldn't get to heaven, or something. Takes balls for the Vatican to refute what an "infallible" pope says.

*edit* Yes, here it is: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013...ope-franc/

Quote:The Rev. Thomas Rosica, a Vatican spokesman, said in what was described as an “explanatory note” that those who know about the Catholic Church “cannot be saved [if they] refuse to enter her or remain in her,”

Anyone else get turned on by this statement?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
