What Chance Does the Average Catholic Have of Getting to Heaven??

April 2 is the one-year anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II. Catholic dioceses around the world will be saying Masses for the repose of his soul.

And, we can safely assume that thousands of Masses for John Paul II have already been said in the past year.

Question – Will the average Catholic ever get this many Masses said for the repose of his soul?

Answer - No.

Another question - Therefore, if a "holy man" like John Paul II is not yet in heaven, even with all the Masses said for his intention, what chance does the average Catholic have of ever getting into heaven?

Answer – None.

However – there is good news for the average Catholic. He CAN get to heaven – but only if he confesses Catholicism as sin, forsakes the Roman Church forever, and receives Christ by faith ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins, no pope, priest, or Masses said for the "repose" of his soul needed!
