Outside The Catholic Church There Is No Salvation , Really ? by Nobody: 9:42am On Aug 15, 2012
“Outside the Church there is no salvation” (extra ecclesiam nulla salus) is a doctrine of the Catholic Faith that was taught By Jesus Christ to His Apostles, preached by the Fathers, defined by popes and councils and piously believed by the faithful in every age of the Church. Here is how the Popes defined it:

“There is but one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved.” (Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, 1215.)
“We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.” (Pope Boniface VIII, the Bull Unam Sanctam, 1302.)

“The most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless before death they are joined with Her; and that so important is the unity of this ecclesiastical body that only those remaining within this unity can profit by the sacraments of the Church unto salvation, and they alone can receive an eternal recompense for their fasts, their almsgivings, their other works of Christian piety and the duties of a Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved, unless he remain within the bosom and the unity of the Catholic Church.” (Pope Eugene IV, the Bull Cantate Domino, 1441.)

But man, following the example of his natural father, Adam, often disobeys the authority of God. The fact that the doctrine had to be thrice defined itself proves the Church’s paternal solicitude in correcting her erring children who fall into indifferentism. The first goal of Saint Benedict Center’s doctrinal Crusade is to defend this doctrine. We present here a selection of various articles written for that end.

The above quotation is the false doctrine that the Catholics preach.

The implication is that according to Catholics , salvation can only be found in their physical church . If you are not a member of their church and a partaker of the sacraments you are doomed.

Not too different from many denominations today where once you leave for one reason or another , they regard you as an apostate.

Salvation is not in the Catholic Church but in Christ.

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." - Acts 4:12

As a former youth leader in the catholic church , after seeing what I saw and hearing what I heard, I am duty bound to proclaim the truth to my former brothers and sisters out of LOVE.

Frosbel and other apologetics are watchmen like in Ezekiel 33.

If you have an understanding of what is at hand, you too will be persuaded in your spirit.

@ Frosbel,

Keep preaching the truth bro. You see, many people will mis-understand the speaking of the truth for over-zealousness. It saddens my heart to read statements such as:

roqchiq: this frosbel sef,why you like to dey attack catholic church?? Live and let live ooo,na only God know who dey serve am true true!!!

My sister, we have the mandate in the word of God to contend for the faith that was handed over to us. Jude 3-4. (You need to read this verse again). When any organization or person preaches what is called heresy or unsound doctrine, we (all Christians) have the right to refute such false teaching. To say that "na only God know who dey serve am true true" is a misleading statement because we don't serve/worship God in lies, heresy, deceit and falsehood.....we serve or worship God is spirit and in TRUTH.
