Throughout the past two years since I became Catholic, countless people have asked me what the Catholic position was on peoples of other religions. Does the Catholic Church think that only Catholics will be saved, or can peoples of other faiths be saved too? Of course, this question may seem rather strange to Evangelicals. Ironically, many of those who have asked me about this before were themselves Evangelical Christians.

One of the things that have amazed me very much about the Catholic faith is how the Roman Catholic Church is perhaps the only existing religion that has such a comprehensive (and official) position on other religions in relation to itself. This is not to say that other religions do not have such systematic notions of thought. It is just that the extensiveness and depth of Catholic thought pertaining to this issue in question continues to amaze me.

I will be posting up in this blog, in installments, an entire series called "Through No Fault of Their Own: The Catholic Church and Peoples of Other Faiths" to explain the Catholic position on this matter.

Stay tuned for this series...
