From America Magazine...Why stay Catholic?

This is an excellent list Letterman-esque in nature, to remind Catholis like me who struggle with our faith why we haven't left yet, particularly:

Number 3: We do not believe we are the only ones who are “saved." In spite of the widely held myth that we think we are the only ones going to Heaven, we have enough self-awareness to know that we are not the chosen few. Contrary to popular belief, Catholic teaching holds that heaven has plenty of room for all people of good will, and for all who entrust themselves to God’s good care. We know how to share.

This stuck out for me because it's really the primary reason I joined Peacenext in the first place.

Comment by Austin Almaguer on June 9, 2011 at 2:55pm: I'm reminded of the pronouncement from Vatican II, “Let Christians, while witnessing to their own faith and way of life, acknowledge, preserve and encourage the spiritual and moral truths found among non-Christians, together with their social life and culture.”
