CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I think this falls under discipline. Catholics should not generally attend non-Catholic services, since there is a danger, especially with repeated or regular attendance, of falling into error. I don't think it was to emphasise separation but to protect Catholics from being taught false doctrines.
And even if you do attend a Protestant service on Sunday, you still have to go to Mass.

Not Certain,
Papal encyclicals are not infallible. Often non-Catholics make the mistake of thinking that anything that a Pope says anywhere at any time is considered infallible, it is not. What you referenced is completely in line with church teaching, however at that time and in that encyclical that particular Pope might have seemed a little more stringent than we are at this time.
Yes, the Catholic church is the original church started by Christ, however, as was explained earlier that doesn't mean that others are not in Christs church. No, they are not Catholic, but by being baptised, and living a life of faith in the best way they know how, they do not lose salvation since they do not know the entire truth of the church, and therefore are not responsible for not following what they don't know.
Are we clearing things up for you at all?
