Fr Cedric Prakash

As per information provided by Venantius Pinto, Fr Cedric Prakash has said:
"In the Catholic case, prior to the Second Vatican Council, the position was
the there is no salvation outside the boundaries of the Catholic Church.
But now our official position has undergone a major change. Salvation, we
now believe, is indeed possible outside the Church."

Does this mean that those who died prior to the Second Vatican Council were
not saved?

Of course, this is a tongue in cheek question.  The important point is what
was the reason for the major change?

Fr Cedric also said: "On the other hand, many right-wing evangelical and
fundamentalist Protestant churches believe that non-Christians, no matter
how pious or good, will be doomed to hell."

It would be interesting to know who edactly as these churches, and what is
the Vatican doing to counteract this threat.

Best wishes.
