The church does leave op...Thanks for the comment. <br /><br />The church does leave open the possibility that some may be saved that are not explicitly members of the visible Catholic church. How common that will be has been the subject of much speculation. I have blogged about that before. The church has not bound us to any one answer. <br /><br />I do think one of the basics to that answer is that becoming Catholic should make you more likely to be saved and more likely to have assurance of salvation. I am not talking about the absolute assurance of Calvinism but a moral assurance that if we persevere we will be saved. That should give us real incentive to remain Catholic and to encourage others to become Catholic. There are many reasons why being Catholic is good but saying it is irrelevant to salvation is a big mistake and likely to produce sloth. <br /><br />I do not live in England so I don't know Cardinal Nichols and the FIUV. I can only guess that what they say is probably not heresy but may fail to tell the whole story. Heresy is when you embrace one truth and deny another. More often on this issue you see people emphasize one truth and fail to mention another but never actually deny it. That might make sense in some contexts but if it happens all the time you begin to wonder.

It is also a hinderance to '...Here is the truth.<br />It is also a hinderance to 'Go and make disciples'.<br />According to the Cardinal and the FIUV everybody does not have to be a disciple in England in 2014 to be saved.<br /><br />May 29, 2014<br />Cardinal Nicols and FIUV are telling a falsehood. Why do rank and file Catholics have to accept it?<br />http://eucharistandmission.blogspot.it/2014/05/cardinal-nicols-and-fiuv-are-telling.html#links<br />Catholic Missionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025127342963192930noreply@blogger.com
