Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue,Vatican rejects Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7) : all need faith and baptism for salvation

Catholics believe that Jesus and his church are necessary for salvation, the document says, although exactly how that occurs in all situations may not be immediately apparent. “Whoever is saved by God is without doubt linked to, and in relationship with, the church, although at times not in an outwardly apparent manner,” it says.http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/news/2014/05/19/in-dialogue-believers-seek-truth-challenge-one-another-vatican-says/

 

“Dialogue in Truth and Charity: Pastoral Orientations for Interreligious Dialogue” was published on May 19,2014 by the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue,Vatican.

 

The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue,Vatican  has once again rejected Ad Gentes 7 which says all need faith and baptism for salvation. According to Vatican Council II (AG 7) Hindus, Buddhists, Jews,Muslims and others do not have 'faith and baptism' and so are oriented to Hell unless they convert into the Church.

When the Pontifical Council states 'Catholics believe that Jesus and his church are necessary for salvation,' they mean all do not need to convert into the Catholic Church.Siince there could be non Catholics saved in invincible ignorance or the baptism of desire etc. These hypothetical cases known only to God,  for the Pontifical Council would be explicit, visible exceptions to the traditional teaching on exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church. The Pontifical Council infers, as  is common among Catholics, that being saved with ' a ray of the Truth'( Nostra Aetate 2) is an exception to all needing to convert into Catholic Church for salvation. So it does not state that all need to convert into the Catholic Church to avoid Hell.

 

The document states ' although exactly how that occurs in all situations may not be immediately apparent' this is a denial of Ad Gentes 7 . We know that in all situations, in which we meet a non Catholic, he or she needs 'faith and baptism' to go to Heaven and avoid Hell.It is apparent to us that we cannot meet a non Catholic who does not need faith and baptism for salvation.


The Prefect of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue is Cardinal Jean-Louis Pierre Tauran.
