CATHOLICS WILL THIS WEEK PRAY FOR THOSE WHOM JESUS CALLED HERETICS AND SCHISMATICS

Thousands of Catholics thoughout the world  this week will  pray the Divine Mercy Novena (Fifth Day) for our Separated Brethren in preparation for the coming Divine Mercy Sunday. In the Diary of the St.Faustina Kowalski Jesus refers to Protestants and Orthodox Christians as heretics and schismatics.

Fifth Day

"Today bring to Me the Souls of those who have separated themselves from My Church*,

and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion."

Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.

According to Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7) all need faith and baptism for salvation. Protestants and Orthodox Christians do not have Catholic Faith.

So even though the Protestant and Orthodox Christian's baptism is valid (if they die immediately as also for a pagan convert) they need to live the Gospel within the Catholic Church. They need Catholic Faith for salvation. Otherwise if they die with one mortal sin they are going to Hell even if they believe in Jesus and are baptized.

The Bible indicates that Jesus founded only one Church, Jesus identified with this Church and wants all people to worship God in only this one, true Church; the Catholic Church.

There is an infallible teaching of three popes and Councils which says everyone with no exception needs to enter the Catholic Church for salvation (to avoid Hell).Extra ecclesiam nulla salus is an obligatory teaching for all Catholics.

The Diary of St.Faustina Kowalski is in agreement with Vatican Council II (AG 7), the Catechism of the Catholic Church (846) and the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
