I posted this on another forum but no one there was prepared to respond to it.
From what I understand, Vatican II has reaffirmed all the statements of the Council of Trent.
This means that:
1. All those who have faith in Christ alone for salvation are subject to anathema (condemned to hell) by the Catholic Church.
2. Indulgences (paying money to the Church to get loved ones out of Purgatory) is still in force and anyone who denies it are also subject to anathema (condemned to hell).
The implication to this is that every Protestant, Evangelical, Pentecostal, and Charismatic Christian who depends on Christ alone for salvation and does not hold with Indulgences is automatically condemned to hell according to the Catholic Church.
This means that every Catholic priest, bishop, cardinal, and even the Pope has to fully abide by that teaching, because if they deny it, then they must be excommunicated and condemned to hell themselves.
I don't think that the Catholic Church really wants to make that public knowledge, because who among those who are Protestant, Evangelical, Pentecostal, or Charismatic, would be happy with fellowshipping with those who have that teaching?
