I thought it was established that that statement wasn’t true?

The Catholic Church prays for the salvation of all men. Every week. (Maybe everyday… I’m trying to think).

Fr Isaac Mary relyea, said it in one of his talks. He mentions how catholics are afraid to mention it.

Christ did say he had other sheep and he will call them back and ther shall be one flock.
Article VII: Of the Church.
[1]](http://www.bookofconcord.org/augsburgconfession.php#article7.1) Also they teach that one holy Church is to continue forever. The Church is the congregation of saints, in which the Gospel is rightly taught and the Sacraments are rightly administered..2) And to the true unity of the Church it is enough to agree concerning the doctrine of the Gospel and 3) the administration of the Sacraments. Nor is it necessary that human traditions, that is, rites or ceremonies, instituted by men, should be everywhere alike.
4) As Paul says: One faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of all, etc. Eph. 4:5-6.
The Church is not only and exclusively in communion with the Bishop of Rome. Catholics may dispute this.

Annulment does not equal divorce. Divorce is a civil legal matter. The Catholic Church does frown on divorce but does understand at times it may be necessary.mcq72:
Actually, this is one of the things I admit I don’t understand. But it is what the Church teaches & I pray to one day understand.
An annulment is a finding upon the completion of an investigation that a marriage never existed. In the Catholic Church marriage is binding for life, however for a marriage to be valid it must meet certain conditions. There isn’t enough room to get into every detail for every situation but the basics are understanding what marriage is, being free to consent, and willingly give consent.
For the Church to start an annulment investigation the couple must have a legal divorce. If the Church does not find grounds for an annulment the bond of marriage remains even though they are legally divorced.
I’m not sure if you are say the Catholic Church or churches in general. But this is not true and not a Catholic teaching. We know God is all merciful and we trust the salvation of souls outside the Catholic Church to him.
I think it false, but there it is.

I know you will, once again, find fault with this article.
Thanks for posting this. It is a long article and I do not want it to be a situation that hijacks the thread.JonNC:
Is There Really "No Salvation Outside the Catholic Church?" | Catholic Answers
I know you will, once again, find fault with this article.
A couple of thoughts.
His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church is not found only and exclusively in communion with the Bishop of Rome, though it is found there, too.
Honestly, this is a disturbing statement. Christ and/or His Church? I find it difficult to believe one could receive knowledge of Christ’s Church without receiving knowledge of Christ, assuming by knowledge we mean more than intellectual knowledge.

I did say you would find fault with it. The only thing I could post that you would agree with is absolute submission to your view point of the Catholic Church so let’s just drop the whole discussion.
We disagree so you don’t want to have a discussion?
Interesting.
The thing you may not know is the multitude of things we probably would agree on.

Thank you. Read it.
Here is my faulted quote: “Simple”.
Never simple when you are trying to have your cake and eat it too…
That is as best as I can put it without getting a headache lol.
Or after reading up on Dante, never simple having one foot on temporal or worldly powers or models thereof, and the other on truer universal Kingdom principles.

Funny Lutherans actually have 7 sacraments - Luther was faith alone - some of them seem to of adopted the sacraments while other will still call them works.

I gave you an article explaining what the Catholic Church teaches on the issue of salvation outside the Church. Unam Sanctam was declared in 1302 when outside the Church meant other non-Christian religions or paganism.
So you can continue to nitpick bits of sentences to make it appear as though the Catholic Church is wrong or you can accept what is posted.
