>>Do Catholics really believe this?<,

No.

This man who claims to be Catholic and pope is spreading lies and confusion and is not to be trusted.

Catholics may not believe it but they really have no choice in the matter. The statement by Boniface was that sweeping.

Thus, it was concluded, the temporal authorities must submit to the spiritual authorities, not merely on matters concerning doctrine and morality: "For with truth as our witness, it belongs to spiritual power to establish the terrestrial power and to pass judgment if it has not been good." The bull ends, "Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff."

Yet when non-Catholics reject Roman Catholicism we are told there is no salvation outside of the Church [Roman Catholic]....which comes from this Bull issued by Boniface.

Boniface was claiming absolute power over all affairs.

Roman Catholics like to have it both ways. They want to claim Roman Catholicism is the only "true" church; yet when this part of Unam Sanctam is brought up, they reject it when they don't like what the pope is doing.

If your reading comprehension is up to it, suggest you read Canon 750-753 before you make more of a fool of yourself.

ealgone, I’m sure you mean well but I don’t get into discussions which will go nowhere.

Happy New Year, pax et bonum to you and yours.

pax
