There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. Even Lumen Gentium affirms this. The Church is the narrow gate, even if you allow for a theoretical possibility of righteous-but-ignorant individuals passing through that gate unawares through no fault of their own.
Catholic to Catholic: Whatโ€™s one thing you wish more poorly catechized Catholics understood?

Not all "Protestants" would express it so crudely. But if you're one of the ones who does *not*, perhaps the best thing you can do for Christian unity and for souls in general is take it up with those who *do*.
Jesus: โ€œIf you love me, you will keep my Commandments.โ€ Protestants: โ€œImpossible.โ€

With only the Bible and your own understanding of it, itโ€™s very easy to come up with the conclusions these people reach. Heretics gon heresy

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, or prince of the heavenly hostโ€ฆ I'm about to run out of characters. Just freaking destroy them all.

Every Catholic parish should have armed guards 24/7 at this point in time.

In a world where you can grab as much digital content as you want, feed it to a chatbot with instructions to "change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied," and monetize the output, it's crazy to realize there are still people stealing content the old-fashioned way.

I don't know how Protestants will handle this one. The apostles and elders gathered together to resolve the question of how the Mosaic Law relates to the New Covenant in Acts 15. Was their conclusion an act of divine inspiration or divinely protected adjudication? It can't have been inspiration, for there was much "debate" among them (verse 7), and inspiration does not involve debate. So it must have been a natural act of adjudication that was divinely protected from error (verse 28). Why is this distinction important? Because it suggests that God was operating through the office that the apostles occupied (and later passed on) rather than through the charism of divine inspiration that the apostles uniquely possessed. If the Council of Jerusalem were instead an act of divine inspiration, then God would have simply revealed the answer in the same way He reveals the new words of Scripture to the minds of the inspired, and there would have been nothing left to debate. There would have been no need to hold a meeting between multiple parties, as someone like Paul could have just authored another divinely inspired letter, such as the letter to the Romans. Recognizing the difference between divine inspiration and divinely protected adjudication is essential to understanding the system of governance that Christ established.

Always a weird feeling entering a Lutheran church. All that brick, mortar, glass, art, music, scholarship, pastoring, love, and devotionโ€ฆ all placed at the service of a false Gospel that has never saved anyone and a fake Eucharist that has no more of Christ than a taco shell. ๐ŸŒฎ

Confession is of Christ. Denial of it is of the evil one. Jesus built the Christian faith on unity, authority, and accountability. Protestants kicked all three legs off the stool and are now genuinely puzzled about why society can no longer reach the countertop.

Scripture doesn't unite Christians. It divides them. Take any two Christians who disagree and they will voluntarily make Scripture both the subject and instrument of their disagreement. Catholicism has the only satisfactory explanation for this peculiar phenomenon of Scripture.

$2.6 Billion is TINY. There are >200 individuals with higher net worth. For that matter, there are โ‰ˆ900 million people living in poverty. If the Vatican liquidated its holdings (which would necessitate selling them TO those rich people mentioned above) the poor would get <$3/ea
The Vatican has a net worth of $2.6 BILLION. When are you going to use the Vaticanโ€™s wealth to help Christians in Nigeria? Hypocrite

When Jesus comes back, those Christians will be the first to reject Him the moment He says or does something that is not written in the Bible.

I've proposed an even sharper version of this: suppose that a Christian and a non-Christian both die while committing adultery (a tornado hit the house). Will the Christian go to heaven and the non-Christian go to hell? The number of "yes" answers I've received is... unsettling.
Replying to @AnsweringRCs
If a born again Christian falls into temptation and commits adultery, and then suddenly dies while committing the act, does he go straight to Heaven?

Um vizinho me viu voltando da Santa Missa que fica perto de casa e educadamente me perguntou por que eu sendo instruรญdo era Catรณlico, e que a Igreja Catรณlica nรฃo tรชm a Bรญblia como รบnica base da doutrina. Eu tambรฉm, educadamente respondi: Quando se estuda a fundo o cristianismo e a histรณria cristรฃ nรฃo tem como nรฃo ser catรณlico, aproveitei e perguntei de qual denominaรงรฃo evangรฉlica ele era. Ele respondeu com visรญvel orgulho e falsa humildade: Minha famรญlia era Batista, quando cresci fui para Assemblรฉia de Deus, nรฃo concordava com algumas coisas doutrinais e decidi frequentar a Igreja Quadrangular, mas tive uma discussรฃo doutrinal com o pastor e fui para a Batista Renovada, lรก despertou em mim um chamado que me mostrava que essa denominaรงรฃo nรฃo era correta, assim como as outras, resolvi alugar um espaรงo e instituรญ minha prรณpria Igreja Evangรฉlica da Verdade Bรญblica e vocรช estรก convidado a ouvir a palavra verdadeira lรก. Eu agradeci e respondi: Pra mim ficou bem clara a verdade! Me e despedi e na Missa da semana seguinte agradeci a Deus por ser da Igreja Santa e Una, Catรณlica e Apostรณlica fundada por Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.

โ€œI just want a personal relationship with Christ.โ€ Then be Catholic. The Eucharist is as personal as it gets.

I wouldn't say: "Protestants are too dumb to understand the Bible." I would say: "In selecting the Bible as their rule of faith, Protestants are basing their religion on something other than what Christ established, and no wonder it doesn't work for them, whether dumb or wise."
Replying to @KickPistons
And I respect that position, and sometimes I find myself almost there and at others, not so much. I definitely don't want to become Catholic to be "in the club", to be a rad trad or because Protestants are dumb and can't understand the Bible. None of those reasons impress me.
