Does it seem like traditional Catholics, those who follow the doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church before the changes from the Second Vatican Council, act like they are more holy than everyone else? The hollywood actor Mel Gibson falls into this category of Catholicism. From my experience with them, compared to the mainstream modern day Catholics, it seems as though they portray this holier than thou attitude tremendously. They're very obsessed with the "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" doctrine, which means that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. They firmly believe that "everyone" in heaven is a Catholic, that there are no non-Catholics in heaven. I don't know about anyone else, but all of this seems to me that they think they're the holiest people walking the face of the earth. Does anyone else agree?
