Are all Catholics lost?

[mfblume]

The Catholic Catechism For Adults on page 52 says,

"Can you learn to save your soul just by reading the Bible? No, because certain things in the Bible can be misunderstood, and because the Bible does not have everything God taught."

The Faith of Millions, on pages 153-154:

"The Bible does not contain all the teaching of the Christian religion, nor does it formulate all the duties of its members."

The Catechism For Adults on page 10:

"How can you get the true meaning of the Bible? You can get it only from God's official interpreter, the Catholic Church."

The Catechism For Adults on page 56:

"Why can't the Catholic Church ever teach error? Because Jesus promised to be always with His Church to protect it from error."

The book, "My Catholic Faith" says on page 144:

"Jesus Christ promised to preserve the Church from error."

On page 145, it says,

"Jesus Christ commanded all men to listen to and obey the Church, under pain of damnation. If His Church can teach error then He is responsible for the error, by commanding all to obey."

On page 54 the Catechism For Adults:

"Does everyone have to obey the Catholic Church? Yes, because she alone has the authority of Jesus to rule and to teach."

James Cardinal Gibbons, a Catholic Archbishop said in "The Faith of Our Fathers", p. 82:

"Jesus our Lord, founded but one Church, which He was pleased to build on Peter. Therefore, any church that does not recognize Peter as its foundation stone is not the Church of Christ, and therefore cannot stand, for it is not the work of God."

"Answer Wisely," by Martin J. Scott says on p. 49:

"The pope, therefore, as vicar of Christ, is the visible head of Christ's kingdom on earth, the Church, of which Christ Himself is the invisible head."

The book Father Smith Instructs Jackson, by John F. Noll and Lester J. Fallon, on page 42 says:

"According to the will of Christ, all its members profess the same faith, have the same worship and Sacraments, and are united under the one and same visible head, the Pope."
