Constitutional History of the Western World

Let's review the societal pressure on a Protestant to say that lots of different churches lead people to heaven, because lots of different churches comprise God's True Church, Matthew 16. 13-19. If a Catholic kid asks a Protestant minister if he, the kid, must renounce the Roman Catholic Church in order to go to heaven, then this puts the Protestant minister in a bind. If he tells the Catholic kid that he must renounce Rome in order to escape perdition and go to heaven then the Catholic parents of the kid will be angry, and they might tell the Protestant minister to stay away from their kid, and tell him that he is 'an evil satanic Protestant bastard.' But if the Protestant minister tells the Catholic kid that the Rome will lead him to heaven, then he's telling the kid that Rome is God's True Church, or part of God's True Church, and so if Rome leads people to heaven then it is stupid to risk hell by rebelling against Rome.

Rome is either God's True Church or it isn't. Rome is either the Bride of Christ or else it isn't. Rome either leads people to heaven because Rome is God's True Church, or else Rome leads people to perdition because Rome is not God's True Church. So, if Rome is God's True Church, then have enough sense to obey Rome and you will go to heaven.

So, if a Protestant minister tells a Catholic kid that Rome is God's True Church, or part of God's True Church, then he is also telling the kid that it is stupid to rebel against Rome. If Rome is God's True Church, then just obey Rome and you will go to heaven. If you rebel against God's True Church you go to hell.

The Dogma of Papal Infallibility damns those who reject that Dogma. So just accept that Dogma, profess that those who reject it are damned, if indeed Rome is God's True Church. Rome says Mary is perfect and sinless. The Bible says only God is perfect and sinless. But if Rome is God's True Church, then it is stupid to rebel against Rome.

Of course if Rome is not the Bride of Christ, if Rome is a false church which leads people to perdition, then one is sort of like the Devil - one is rather evil and satanic! - if one leads a kid away from heaven and to perdition by telling him that he doesn't need to renounce Rome in order to escape perdition and attain heaven.
