Yes, they are doing something like this, but it is also important not to forget easily that these popes, out of their own free will, have vehemently rejected some core doctrines of the Catholic Church. All of them held heretical opinions even before they ascended the papal throne (In fact, a careful study has shown that it was because of these heretical opinions that they were actually elected by the cardinals). For instance, at Vatican II, Archbishop Carol Wojtyla, the future John Paul II, commenting on missionary activity in the Church, said: “It is not the role of the Church to lecture unbelievers. We are engaged in a search along with our fellow men—let us avoid moralizing or the suggestion that we have a monopoly of truth.” As Pope he repeated this in his abominable encyclical Ut unum sint and spoke often of the possibility of the universal salvation of all men. Similarly, in his encyclical Redemptoris Missio, John Paul II stated that “salvation is accessible in mysterious ways–even to those who are not members of the Church or have not received the Gospel proclamation–insomuch as divine grace is granted to them by virtue of Christ’s redeeming sacrifice.” This is a clear and unambiguous denial of the Catholic dogma that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. As we read in the Athanasian Creed—a Solemn Definition:

“Whoever wishes to be saved must before all else adhere to the Catholic Faith. He must preserve this Faith whole and inviolate; otherwise he shall most certainly perish in eternity”. MORE
