So I was just surfing some news clips and came across the fact that Pope Benedict XVI has "officially" decreed that the Roman Catholic Church is the only true Church and that all others are false and do not provide salvation. This includes all Christian faiths that are not Catholic. Such narrow vision is the leader of hate and intolerance. Such thoughts, as Star Wars would say, lead to the dark side.
How pompous do you have to be to state that you are all knowing and everyone else is wrong?! It's bad enough that there are so many diverse religions out there that refuse to acknowledge they might not have it ALL figured out, but then you have the supreme leader of the Catholic church encouraging further intolerance and casting judgement on all religions in the world with one broad stroke.
Is it too much to ask that people realize they don't have everything figured out...maybe if everyone could see that, we could have a foundation of further understanding amongst the rest of us. Is the human race beyond saving though?
