Indian delegate at CDF-FABC meeting in Thailand said non Christian religions are not paths to salvation

For Fr.Felix Machado the Catholic Church teaches that Judaism, Islam etc are not paths to salvation and their members need Catholic Faith and the Baptism of water to go to Heaven an avoid Hell, except for the exceptions, those in invincible ignorance etc. 1

Fr.Machado was the Indian delegate at the CDF-FABC conference held this month at the Bangkok Pastoral Center.Fr.Machado has served from 1999 to 2008 as Undersecretary in the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Vatican. He chairs the of Office for Interreligious Dialogue of the Federation of Asian (Catholic) Bishops' Conferences (FABC); and Office for Interreligious Dialogue of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) 2 He is now Archbishop Machado.

It was the first time ever that I walked into the new office of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Inter Religious Dialogue (PCID) on the Via Cancelleria in front of St. Peter’s Basilica.It was a long time back.  I would meet an Indian priest and ask him two questions.3 This priest was Fr.Machado.He is now the Archbishop of Vasai, India.It was then that he told me that the Church teaches that other religions are not paths to salvation.
