In this episode, Fr. Fr. Carl Sagan talks about the Catholic Church and inter-religious meetings, and why they are a betrayal of the Gospel, and the need for the Church to have missionary zeal to bring people of other faiths to heaven.
00:00:00.000Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. There is no other.
00:00:04.300Jesus Christ said, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
00:00:08.140And no one comes to the Father except through me.
00:00:12.660And St. Paul says, whoever does not accept Jesus Christ upon him will remain the wrath of God.
00:00:24.300These are words of the Holy Spirit inspired in the Holy Scripture.
00:00:30.000One of the things I loved was the interview you did with Mother Miriam,
00:00:58.200Mother Miriam Alive, which we air at LifeSite News every day.
00:01:01.640So beautiful to see the two of you together. You're two heroes of mine.
00:01:06.140One of the things that she mentioned to you was about the salvation for the Jews must come through the Catholic Church.
00:01:13.060It is one of the teachings that is so little talked about and disdained in the Church today.
00:01:19.920Extra ecclesiam nulla salus is the old formulation of it, meaning outside the Church there is no salvation.

00:01:54.640that the Catholic faith is not necessary for salvation.
00:01:58.740That you can have Protestants, you can have people of other faiths getting to heaven as well.
00:02:05.080Can you explain that for us, what it means, and what are we to make of it, the concept also about a person in conscience not knowing and how that would play out?
00:02:17.080The traditional expression, extra ecclesiam nulla salus, outside the Church there is no salvation,
00:02:25.320means basically outside Christ, Jesus Christ is no salvation, because the Church is only the mystical body of Christ.
00:02:33.240And so, Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, there is no other.
00:02:39.240Jesus Christ said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through me.
00:02:47.540And St. Paul says, whoever does not accept Jesus Christ, upon him will remain the wrath of God.
00:03:00.100These are words of the Holy Spirit, inspired in the Holy Scripture, so evident.
00:03:06.400And the Jews are the first who have to believe in Jesus Christ as their Redeemer,
