Australian priest and Zionist newspaper in false catechesis

Jesus died to saved all. This includes atheists and dissenting religious.

This does not contradict Vatican Council II (Ad Gentes 7) which says:

Therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door. -AG 7

Neither does it contradict the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Outside the Church No Salvation (CCC 846)

Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.-Ad Gentes 7 (Catechism of the Catholic Church 846)

It does not contradict the traditonal teaching on mission and evangelization ,which says all non Catholics are on the way to Hell unless they convert into the Catholic Church.

Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church support Fr.Leonard Feeney.

So it is a false catechesis here by the Huffington Post supported by Fr.John George of the Archdiocese of Sydney.

All people,including atheists need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water for salvation.(AG 7,CCC 846 etc). If there was an atheist saved by doing good, we would not know this case personally and neither would this possibility be an exception to Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic.
