Nevertheless, our separated brethren, whether considered as individuals or as Communities and Churches, are not blessed with that unity which Jesus Christ wished to bestow on all those who through Him were born again into one body, and with Him quickened to newness of life - that unity which the Holy Scriptures and the ancient Tradition of the Church proclaim. For it is only through Christ's Catholic Church, which is "the all-embracing means of salvation," that they can benefit fully from the means of salvation. We believe that Our Lord entrusted all the blessings of the New Covenant to the apostolic college alone, of which Peter is the head, in order to establish the one Body of Christ on earth to which all should be fully incorporated who belong in any way to the people of God. This people of God, though still in its members liable to sin, is ever growing in Christ during its pilgrimage on earth, and is guided by God's gentle wisdom, according to His hidden designs, until it shall happily arrive at the fullness of eternal glory in the heavenly Jerusalem.

What does it mean to "benefit fully from the means of salvation"?

Ok...I must be missing something. What is an "obamaphone"?

Blackberry.

Obamaphone refers to the federal program to provide free cell phones to the poor.....that program has been around for decades, but it came to be called 'Obamaphone' because of an ad where a women was saying we should elect Obama because 'he gave us a phone!'

We should all believe in something.

I believe I'll have another beer...
