re: #212 Shvaughn

I don’t have much to add to #208, except this. Spong makes factual claims. He either believes them to be correct or he doesn’t. If he does, then he also believes Catholic doctrine to be incorrect. He can still believe that Catholicism (or any other religion) will lead to some sort of salvation. So basically it depends on the parameters by which you define rightness or wrongness of the religion. If the only parameter is “it leads to salvation”, then one can believe religions to be “true” in some sense, while factually incorrect. That is not the usual use of the term, at least as far as I’m concerned, but whatever. If, on the other hand, the parameter is truthfulness of the central claims of a religion, then all religions cannot be “true” at the same time.
