Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus

Note the reversal, this diabolic inversion.

Extra ecclesiam nulla salus, no salvation outside the church, now must be read in light of Vatican II, which has been the practice anyway.

In fact, this, this cardinal is now putting into practice what has been, or putting into words what has been the de facto practice on virtually everything.

That it's not Vatican II and its changes read in light of what came before for their implementation, aside from Benedict's attempt to rein madness in.

So it's an ecumenical spirit, and I was thinking, let's kind of switch to a talk now, why be Catholic? 'Cause here we've been in dialogue, talking with each other about isn't it great that we're at least all brothers and sisters in the Lord, and now we're gonna give a talk about why everybody should be Catholic or why you should bother to be Catholic.

At the same time, the Catechism, drawing on Vatican II, makes it very clear that we continue as Catholics to hold to the ancient formula of St. Cyprian that there is no salvation outside the Church.

You ever heard that phrase? No salvation outside the Church.

Do we teach that? Emphatically, yes! Exclamation point.

There is no salvation outside the Church.

You can look it up in your Catechism.

We continue to teach it.

I have to baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
