Do non-Christians go to heaven?
A woman in my parish insists that non-Christians cant go to heaven. Thats not true is it? Of course not! The Catholic Church insists that God wills the salvation of each and every human being. Jesus says this to us and all his flock: It is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost (Matthew 18:14). Quoting a document from the Council of Quiercy, the Catechism of the Catholic Church says, The Church, following the apostles, teaches that Christ died for all men without exception: There is not, never has been, and never will be a single human being for whom Christ did not suffer (605). The letter to the Hebrews says that its the lot of every human being once to die and then be judged (9:27). This leaves open a broad field of play when it teaches that anyone who approaches God must believe that He exists and He rewards those who seek Him (11:6). On Good Friday, the Church prays long prayers for all manner believers and unbelievers, including those who do not believe in God. Modeling ourselves on our Mother the Church, let us leave judgment to God and give ourselves to praying for everyones peace and salvation. As it says in the Letter to the Hebrews, we pilgrims are to go keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith (12:2).
