When in 1949 Fr. Leonard Feeney, SJ accused the Archbishop of Boston, Richard J. Cushing, of heresy for holding that Jews and Protestants could be saved, he backed up his charge by producing passages from the writings of fathers of the church such as St. Augustine, of eminent theologians such as St. Thomas Aquinas, and from the decrees of popes and councils, to prove that it was a dogma of faith that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. He did seem to have the weight of evidence on his side, and it was not easy to see how the modern idea that non-Catholics can be saved could be reconciled with the church's traditional doctrine that excluded them from salvation. Many in the Catholic Church have felt that while Feeney must surely have been wrong, the questions he raised were never satisfactorily answered. Is it really a dogma of Catholic faith that there is no salvation outside the church? Can the optimism of Vatican II about the universal possibility of salvation be defended as an example of homogeneous development of doctrine? Or would it be more honest to say that the Catholic Church has recognized that its previous teaching was mistaken? The author is convinced that the only way to answer such questions is by a thorough study of the history of Christian thought about the salvation of those Òoutside the church.Ó Rev. Sullivan makes this historical study a lively reading experience while drawing conclusions that will impact ecumenical thinking for years to come.

Catholic popes and Vatican councils have pronounced many teachings which, they say, are necessary to believe, such as: It is necessary for salvation to submit to the Roman Pontiff. Christians must keep the law and do good works to be saved. Anyone who says they are certain they are saved and going to heaven is anathema (cursed, damned as a heretic). Mary was immaculately conceived, remained a virgin her whole life, never sinned, was taken up body and soul into heaven, and exalted as the Queen of Heaven. Only priests can forgive sins after one confesses to them. Christians must purge some of their sins in Purgatory. Some people in non-Christian religions will be saved. But are these, and many other Catholic dogmas, biblical? The Truth About Roman Catholicism examines several key doctrines of the Catholic Church (as stated in the official Catechism of the Catholic Church) in light of the Bible. The reader will be shown the difference between the gospel of Christ and the gospel of Rome, and the crucial choice that must be made to obtain eternal life.

Many observers greeted the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) as the most important religious event in the twentieth century. Its implementation and impact are still being felt in the Catholic Church, the wider Christian world, and beyond. One sea change that Vatican II brought concerned Roman Catholic attitudes towards Judaism, Islam, and other religions. Gerald O'Collins breaks fresh ground by examining in detail five documents from the Council which embodied a new mind set about other religious faiths and mandated changes that quickly led to international and national dialogues between the Catholic Church and the followers of non-Christian religions. The book also includes chapters on the insights that prepared the way for the re-thinking expressed by Vatican II, and on the follow-up to the Council's teaching found in the work of Pope John Paul II and Jacques Dupuis. O'Collins ably illustrates how the Council made a startling advance in official Catholic teaching about followers of other living faiths. Carefully researched, the book is written in the clear, accessible style that readers of previous works by O'Collins will recognize.

Twenty-Five Element International Scholars show how roman catholic theology has grappled with religious pluralism. Catholic Engagement with World Religions outlines, clarifies, and defends official Roman Catholic teaching on the relationship between Christianity and other religious traditions in light of the Catholic belief that "We must hold that the Holy Spirit offers to all the possibility of being made partners, in a way known to God, in the paschal mystery".(Gaudium et Spes, 22) Part I studies the history of these issues while Part II examines their theological framing. Part III addresses Christianity and other religions since Vatican U. Part IV deals specifically with Judaism, Confucianism, Hinduism and Islam as these religions see themselves in relation to Christianity. A final chapter by Bishop Michael Fitzgerald offers a theological reflection on the foundations of interreligious dialogue today. For scholars, students, and practitioners of interreligious encounter, Catholic Engagement with World Religions is necessary and absorbing reading. Karl J. Becker, S.J., and Ilaria Morali teach at the Gregorian University in Rome.

In recent times there has been a tendency to question the value and relevance of several time-honoured customs and institutions. This trend has compelled many institutions to re-examine their own 'raison-d'etre', goals and modes of functioning. The Roman Catholic Church came to grips with these questions during the Second Vatican Council [1962 - 1965), and set in motion a process of renewal and of adaptation to the needs of the modern world. The answers furnished by Vatican II have yet to be assimilated by the common people in the Church. Even today, many feel that they can be true to the demands of Jesus Christ without belonging to any formal institution like a Church. Did Jesus actually intend founding a structured religion or a Church? is a question that is often posed. If He did found a Church, it should be one single true Church. Why then are there so many so-called Churches in Christianity? Which is the true Church founded by Christ? What is the relationship between this Church and the other Churches? Can non-Christians be saved? What is the relationship of the true Church of Christ and the non-Christian religions? These are some of the questions people ask themselves, especially when surrounded by a plurality of Churches and a multiplicity of religions. In the pages that follow, an attempt has been made to answer some of these questions in the light of Holy Scripture, the teachings of Vatican II, and the history of the Catholic Church. What the Catholic Church believes and teaches has also been presented briefly through quotations from documents of the Church and in the form of questions and answers given in the form of four quizzes added at the end. The word, "Church", comes from the Hebrew word 'qahal', translated by Greek word, 'ecclesia', which means gathering, assembly, people gathered together in response to God's call, people of God. The Church consists of the New People of God, constituted by the New Covenant sealed by the blood of Christ, animated by His Holy Spirit, and committed to His New Commandment of Love. It is to be hoped that the pages that follow will help the reader to discover this reality and its significance for world peace and unity. I wish to express my deep gratitude to Mr. Dunstan Nunes and his wife, Arlene, for their encouragement and help in patiently going through the entire manuscript and preparing it on the computer for printing. Without their keen interest and support this booklet would never have made it to the press. 8th September, 2007 Fr. Joseph M. Dias, S.J.

"In the twenty-first century, the meaning of non-Christian religions for Christian faith will become a central question. Are all religions, including Christianity, responding to the same transcendent truth or are religions fundamentally different? In Faith among Faiths, James Fredericks moves beyond the popular "pluralist" model of religions and explores the meaning of Christianity in light of non-Christian religions. By doing theology "comparatively," Fredericks shows how Christians can look upon religious diversity as an opportunity for enriching their own spiritual quest."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Church is mission. Proclaiming the good news is not a function accessory to her; rather it determines her essence. By definition, the Church is that gathering in the Spirit of the chosen people of God who provide the visible heralds of Christ. As "the universal sacrament of salvation", the Church embodies God's constant offer of salvation to all men of all time. But if beyond the frontiers of the visible Church, Christ and his Spirit are already at work, why bother about the missions? What is their aim and meaning? If in fact a man can reach Christ and have his Spirit without the structures and paraphernalia of organized Christianity, why require him to submit to the Catholic Church, and what is the point of being a Christian at all? It is to be hoped that the ventilation of these questions, which concerns all Christians and even all religious-minded men, may be enlightening, stimulating and comforting.
