ADVERTISEMENT/ANNOUNCEMENT FOR BRITISH NEWSPAPERS AND MEDIA DURING THE HOLY FATHERS VISIT

For public information this is an important announcement, to understand Catholics and their beliefs.

The Catholic Church teaches in Vatican Council II and an ex cathedra dogma that everyone with no exception needs to be a formal, visible member of the Catholic Church, the one true, Church of Jesus Christ to go to Heaven and avoid Hell –and there are no exceptions.

Here is the ex cathedra dogma extra eccleisam nulla salus (outside the church there is no salvation):

1. “There is but one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved.” (Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, 1215). Ex cathedra.

2.“We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.” (Pope Boniface VIII, the Bull Unam Sanctam, 1302.).Ex cathedra.

3.“The most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless before death they are joined with Her; and that so important is the unity of this ecclesiastical body that only those remaining within this unity can profit by the sacraments of the Church unto salvation, and they alone can receive an eternal recompense for their fasts, their almsgivings, their other works of Christian piety and the duties of a Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved, unless he remain within the bosom and the unity of the Catholic Church.” (Pope Eugene IV, the Bull Cantate Domino, 1441.) Ex cathedra – from the website Catholicism.org and “No Salvation outside the Church”: Link List, the Three Dogmatic Statements Regarding EENS http://nosalvationoutsideofthecatholicchurch.blogspot.com/

It says everyone needs to be a visible member of the Catholic Church to go to Heaven and avoid Hell.

it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.” (Pope Boniface VIII, the Bull Unam Sanctam, 1302.).Ex cathedra.

The same teaching is there in Vatican Council II.

Therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door…-Ad Gentes 7.Vatican Council II.
The Church teaches that Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury and all non Catholic Christians are on the path to Hell unless before they die they formally enter the Mystical Body of Jesus( AG 7,UR 3).If there are exceptional cases ‘in certain circumstances’(Letter of the Holy Office 1949) it will be known only to God. De facto everyone needs to formally enter the Catholic Church. De jure there could be exceptions known only to God.

This is the centuries-old Catholic teaching, pre-Vatican Council II and post-Vatican Council II (Dominus Iesus 20, CDF, Notification, Dupuis, CCC 845 etc)
