text: And, to follow it through a bit further, modern scriptural scholarship shows us how the passage about "there was no way to the Father except through Him" has a far broader meaning than what has been the traditional "explanation" making Catholicism the end point of that journey to the Father (Abba).  The early Christian church HAD to define it that way in order to establish itself and gain as many members as possible.  What the study of Christology shows us is that the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus was indeed for ALL of wo/mankind - and not about any specific religion or church.
