First, when I went to this site I read the by-line "National Catholic Reporter, The independent newsweekly" and snorted. Independent Catholic. Independent of what? Roman Doctrine? Ideology? Oversight? OK, I'm done with that. (Deep Breath)
If you belong to one of the groups listed in this article, you need to examine your theology. If you can agree with the Roman Catholic stand per Vatican II, you may think that Muslims can be saved, go to heaven without submitting to the lordship of Jesus Christ, and without admitting that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, actual God...manifest in the flesh. IF you agree with that theology, you need to stop listening to your pastor/teacher, and get your nose in the book! Vatican II says that is the case. Jesus said the ONLY way to the Father is through him! There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we might be saved. Mohammed was not God, but Jesus IS God. Mary is NOT in the Godhead, nor is she remotely divine. Nor can she forgive sin, or influence mean ol' Jesus who won't forgive you unless he looks at...oh, never mind.
