Roman
Catholic Theology
Lutherans
believe that wherever the Word of God is preached there
will be real Christians. Therefore, the Church is
invisible and there are real Christians in all churches
and denominations (please see
The Distinction Between Orthodox and
Heterodox Churches).
Here are a variety of articles and videos that will help
the reader understand some of the differences between
Roman Catholic and Lutheran beliefs.

several videos that address the Roman Catholic concept of
"Anonymous Christianity"
Video Interview with Monsignor Lorenzo
Albacete
Monsignor
Albacete is a professor of theology at St. Joseph's
Seminary in New York and was a friend of John Paul II. He
was president of the Pontifical Catholic University of
Puerto Rico and served as associate professor of theology
at the John Paul II Institute for Studies in Marriage
& Family.
In this video, Monsignor Albacete teaches that:
1. A person does not have to believe that Jesus is the
Son of God to go to Heaven.
2. Buddhist's can be saved and go to Heaven and faster
than Christians.
3. Atheist's can be saved and go to Heaven and faster
than Christians.
4. The "heart" is all that is important. Just follow your
conscience and you will go to Heaven.

claims of the Roman Catholic Church.
