By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, Catholic Culture - Jesus teaches, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” (Jn.14:6)... Echoing St. Augustine in City of God, the Fathers of Vatican II invoke Scriptures and Tradition and teach that the Church “…is necessary for salvation.

This phrase in English means that idolatry is a way to God... In other words, the 1st commandment of the Ten Commandments is null and void.
