The Catholic Dogma
By Fr. Michael Müller

“Extra Ecclesiam Nullus omnino Salvatur.” “Out of
the Church there is positively no Salvation” (Fourth Lateran Council, in
1215)
“Error, cui non resistur, approbatur; et Veritas,
cum minime defensatur.” “Not to oppose erroneous Doctrine is to approve of
it, and not to defend at all true Doctrine is to suppress it.” (Innocent III)
