Bonjour,

>could you please give bibliographical reference to your statement?
Luke 10:16 "qui vos audit me audit et qui vos spernit me spernit qui autem me
spernit spernit eum qui me misit."
Bonifacius VIII, Bulla Unam Sanctam: "...subesse Romano Pontifici omni
humanae creaturae declaramus, dicimus, definimus et pronuntiamus omnino de
necessitate salutis"
Clemens VI, ep. Super quibusdam ad Consolatorem, Catholicon Armenorum:
"...nullus homo viatorum extra fidem ipsius Ecclesiae et obedientiam
Pontificum Romanorum poterit finaliter salvus esse."
Gregorius IX, Ep. Ab Aegyptiis, ad Theologos Parisienses (too long to state
here, look in Denzinger, n. 442).
For a modern statement, have a look at the Constitution Vineam Domini
Sabaoth of Clemens XI (Denz 1350).
I could give still tons of texts. The problem is as follows: for the
catholic theology, faith is not an internal sentiment(alism) of man, but the
consentement of will to the revelation. The revelation came directly from
God in the old and new testament, and is granted by the authority of the
Church (see Luc. 10:16, passim). Our rationality is not sufficient to reach
the Revelation. If I believe that God is Trinity, because I am convinced of,
but don't believe, say, that Jesus resurrected, I have not the faith in the
Trinity, but a personal opinion about it. Look also John 6:
"61 multi ergo audientes ex discipulis eius dixerunt durus est hic sermo
quis potest eum audire (...) 'nemo potest venire ad me nisi fuerit ei datum
a Patre meo' 67 ex hoc multi discipulorum eius abierunt retro et iam non
cum illo ambulabant 68 dixit ergo Iesus ad duodecim 'numquid et vos
vultis abire' 69 respondit ergo ei Simon Petrus 'Domine ad quem ibimus
verba vitae aeternae habes 70 et nos credidimus et cognovimus quia
tu es Christus Filius Dei' "
You see: the disciples going away followed Jesus because of their personal
opinion about him, Peter had true faith: he believed even against his
personal opinion, because "tu es Christus Filius Dei".
Naturally, this is medieval religion and catholic theology. In our modern
world nobody cares :-)
Hope this helps
Avec mes meilleures salutations
