Vatican: Non-Catholics not true Christians
Story Highlights
The Vatican said other churches were not full churches of Jesus Christ
The view is likely to further complicate relations with Protestants
This is the Pope's second strong reaffirmation of Catholic tradition in four days
A decree on Saturday restored the old Latin Mass alongside modern liturgy

That's pretty messed up. This new Pope is nothing like the last one.

Not really that messed up. I dont agree with his conclusion. But his position is completely consistant.

Right. Nothing controversial here. We're Protestants for a reason...
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Protestants are Not Catholics. We're Protestants. It's entirely acceptable for THE POPE of the Catholic Church to believe Protestants are NOT Christians. NO Faith is worth ANYTHING if the people - especially the leaders - allow they could be wrong.

Well, it's almost like he's degrading them for not being Catholic.

No - he's saying "Our way is the TRUE Path to God" - that's commendable.

That's not how I read it. It sounded like him saying since were Catholic we are better then you because your Religion won't take you to God.

The Pope is an idiot. Plain and simple truth. Catholicism is getting more like Islam every day. Except Islam doesn't have pedophile priests.

He's saying "You are wrong. We are right." that's called Strength of Character. The Catholic Church is MORE loving and MORE giving than ANY organization on the planet

Ahem - they are GAY. And I 'think' I'd rather have 100 gay priests over 50 years, than 100 suicide bombers over 10 years.

Ahem! If you don't want to classify them for what they truly are, as in pedophiles, then I bet you have no problem just calling them Christians, right?

As a Protestant myself, I think the Pope is on to something here. The main line Protestant churches are losing touch with their own traditional beliefs, and are as a result losing congregants.
And I would agree with Darin, that a religion is pretty weak and not worth following, if it does not believe it is the true way to God.

This guy.
i think they are losing touch and people because some churches are more focused on the religion of christanity than what it is about. the relationship with God and such. more important on how big your church is than if meets the needs of the people and what kinda cars your congegration drives. makes me sad
