Thanks for the cite, Bill!

When I read this:
In today's general audience address, the Pope said: "All the righteous on
earth, even those who do not know Christ and his Church and who, under the
influence of grace, seek God with a sincere heart, are ... called to build
the Kingdom of God, cooperating with the Lord who is the first and decisive
architect."
I read it as counting out those that have had contact with missionaries and
rejected the church. Not NEARLY as broad as what was reported. For example,
I have "knowledge of christ and his church". I'm as righteous as they come,
but I am not "seeking god with a sincere heart" since I am not seeking him
at all.
Still, it is a start.
