I have already been hearing from many of my Catholic co workers that islam is just as OK as Eastern Orthodox, and can lead to salvation.
i have had so many rcc folks here tell me this isn’t true.
i point to a lifelong priest friend of my family who believes his place in heaven isn’t certain b/c he believes he could still screw up something in purgatory, but he believes muslims could get to heaven because “they love Mary”.
many rcc here chided me that he was wrong, yet he is very tight with his bishop, he never has had any unorthodox charges put on him, he is a model rcc priest, not radical at all but quite normal and traditional, he is quite certain in what he believes and what he was taught. if anyone is going to know better what the rcc teaches and believes it’s a guy like this.
they think muslims can get there b/c of Mary. even though they deny the Son of God. and they think they still may not get there themselves.
it’s unbelievably saddening.
You will not hear that from this Catholic! Ever. The "many of my Catholic" etc are those that I call indifferent Catholics. They are nominal at best and actually anti-Catholic at worst. Remember that indifference is the opposite of love not hate. To be indifferent to one's claimed religion is the worst form of apostasy.
Oh, how strange.
