^That picture is wrong. 1. The Pope never said that Catholicism states that Atheists can be saved by doing good things. He was saying we all have an inherent natural sense of good, and then he later said that Jesus died for everyone, not just Catholics (he was speaking to Catholics, not the press. He was reminding them to stop being seclusionists). 2. The statement the Vatican issued was clarifying the mistake of journalists, not the Pope. They did not supersede or contradict the Pope. I don't care if you're religious or not. That's not the point of this thread. People seem to be going crazy over this subject, and this is just a reminder that according to Catholic doctrine, Atheists go to hell and good deeds don't mean shit without faith. I don't associate myself with Catholicism, so don't direct your negativity at me, direct it at the moron journalists that misinterpreted the hell (pun) out of a recent sermon given by the Pope. And here's a question: Why would any Atheist care what the Pope says about you being saved?
