There Are No Protestants in Heaven


But then there are no Protestants in hell either. Only Catholics in both. This is not to say that we each go to our respective afterlives, but that where the Catholicism differs from the rest of Christianity in matters of belief, it is the rest of Christianity that is wrong. How ridiculous! Why that would mean that the Catholic Church actually means what it says it means. This now peculiar stance was one the mark of a serious religion. Martin Luther his 95 Theses onto the door frame because he kinda-sorta-maybe thought he was onto something. Anyway there you go. Here's the press release from the Vatican, within which is the document in question. As it notes, it's not like there's anything new here. The Catholic Church has always claimed to be THE church founded by Christ and the most perfect (not completely perfect) means of salvation.
