No one comes to God except through Christ, absolutely -- and, if you read St. Paul, the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ on earth. So, no one comes to Christ except through the Body of which He is the Head -- the Church.

Now you took the quote out of context, possibly because you jumped ahead to the "conclusion," because the point of the article is that ALL Christians are part of the Catholic Church; however, if not a practicing Catholic, not in full communion. Christ and the Scriptures are clear: He wants us in FULL commmunion, as a unity, not fragmented.

No, read the quote explicitly:

The Catholic Church is "the single and exclusive channel by which the truth and grace of Christ enter our world of space and time"

This literally says that the only way any man can be made aware of the message of Christ is via the Church. That is, IMHO, non Biblical. The Church is not the only way men can be made aware of Christ.

The Church is not the gateway to Christ. The Church is not the gateway to salvation. The Church is one way that Christ may be revealed to pre-Christians but it is NOT the only way.

“if you read St. Paul, the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ on earth”

The Church mentioned by Christ is not the Catholic Church

I’m not part of the Catholic church and my salvation is not dependent on anyones interpretation of the Word.

Jesus saves

What a bunch of clap-trap....What a Satanic lie

In Christianity, no one can get into the body/church unless they first go thru the Head of the body, Jesus Christ...Just the opposite of what you are stating...

Joh 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Jesus is the door...Your religion is NOT the door...Jesus never cliamed any church being the door...

You claim you are the 'sheepfold' and you claim you are the 'door' to get to the sheepfold...And when you get thru the door into the sheepfold, you can then see Jesus...

For those of you who are interested in what Jesus says, Jesus has a far different version...

Joh 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Joh 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
Joh 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

You guys that spew this stuff are a large pack of wolves, as Jesus says...

No one gets into the sheepfold/church until they first come to Jesus...Jesus is the door...
