You all should be ashamed of yourselves falling into the anti-Christian, anti-scriptural flamebaiting tactic so typically used by this group, particularly Gamecock.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves."

Read your catechism and you will realize that there is NOTHING to apologize for or anything else.

This comes from the section The Church and non-Christians. The section talks about the Church's relationship with Jews, then its relationship with Muslims, and then it's relationship with other non-Christian religions. Following this, it talks about the truth of the statement, "Outside the Church There is No Salvation" (see my tagline). It sums up saying the following:

Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation. (emphasis mine)
and then:
"Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."(emphasis mine)

Why are you apologizing for God's Divine Mercy???

The best solution is to let these ravenous wolves prowl and not give them the meat that they seek.
