Bishop Barron's answer: Vatican II teaches a person can be saved outside explicit Christian faith through conscience or sincere law-keeping

Ben Shapiro, a Catholic Bishop and the Gospel. 00:06:09 – 00:08:11

Mike quotes and plays a clip of Barron's response to Ben

Barron invokes Vatican II (Second Vatican Council), calls Jesus the 'privileged route' to salvation but says someone outside explicit Christian faith can be saved through 'grace of Christ indirectly received.' For Ben specifically, Barron says sincere adherence to the commandments of the law can save him. Barron's one-word answer to 'Am I screwed?' is 'No.' Mike identifies two ingredients in Barron's formula: sincerity and following the law.
