:17:04
You'd think I was a leper.
:17:06
They thought you were
coming for a collection.
:17:08
They thought I wanted their money?
:17:09
No, they thought the Pope
wanted their money.
:17:11
Every time
a new priest comes,
:17:13
they have to pay Rome
for the privilege of sacraments.
:17:18
Nulla salus extna ecclesiamm.
:17:21
This debate has raged
for over 1,400 years,
:17:24
from the earliest days
of the church,
:17:27
but now
the Fifth Lateran Council
:17:29
has reaffirmed
Saint Cyprian's famous dictum,
:17:33
"Nulla salus extna ecclesiamm...
:17:35
outside the Holy Roman church,
there is no salvation."
:17:40
Professor Carlstadt.
:17:42
What of the Greek Christians?
:17:46
The Greek Christians?
:17:50
Well, an early church document
clearly states
:17:54
that a Roman bishop,
not a Greek,
:17:57
was Saint Peter's successor.
:17:59
And, of course,
:18:01
it was Peter whom our Lord Christ
made His representative on earth.
:18:05
So we must consider the saints
of the Greek church to be damned?
:18:11
You miss the point.
:18:12
But that is the inevitable
consequence of Cyprian's claim...
:18:16
Greek Christians
are outside salvation.
:18:19
Or is this claim based on
an over-literal reading
:18:23
of Matthew 16:18...
:18:26
"Thou art Peter, and upon this rock,
I will build my church."
:18:30
Yet two lines earlier,
in verse 16,
:18:33
we find the very foundation
of our faith...
:18:36
"You are the Christ,
the Son of the living God."
:18:38
Surely the more universal
we make these great words,
:18:43
the nearer we come
to the mind of Christ.
:18:45
You question the authority
of the church council, sir?
:18:48
Not at all.
:18:52
Though in 1215,
the Fourth Lateran Council
:18:54
allowed that Cyprian
could be wrong
:18:56
and salvation
could exist outside the church...
