Everything I am about to say below is official Catholic teaching which every Catholic is required to believe…. 1. Mary is not God. 2. Mary is not equal to Jesus. 3. The pope is not a demigod, nor a guru, nor an oracle, nor is he infallible ALL the time. 4. Justification is not by Faith Alone. 5. Justification is not by Works Alone. 6. Justification is by Faith in Christ, accompanied by Works of love in Christ. 7. Purgatory is not a “second chance” for the dead. 8. Purgatory is temporary, and it is only for those who are already saved, so they can be purified before entering heaven. 9. No one is saved, unless it is through Jesus Christ. 10. We must trust in Jesus Christ. What I have said above is absolutely 100% true, and by making it a public statement here, I would be inviting disciplinary action from my bishop if it were not true.
