And all we can ask them is to not close the door completely, to open the door one inch.

And if we believe what we say we believe about God and his goodness, God will do what he's supposed to do in their lives.

Mm-hmm.

Our job is to not close the door.

And if you go in and you say, repent or die, the door's closing, right?

That's gonna close the door, not open the door.

Your excellence will open the door.

Well, part of that is that there's a fundamentalist version of that that a lot of people learn in the United States, which is literally if you're not this, then this, right?

But the truth is that Catholics in particular, they don't believe that.

I mean, we believe that there's a lot, a lot of people going to heaven who are not...

Catholics are even Christians.

On the contrary, they have a different set of experiences from different parts of the world, and they're implicitly baptized, effectively.

And they have a lot to teach us.

You know, what that says is that if you were raised as a Catholic, then the standard is different for you.

The obligation is different for you.

The woe be unto you if you're not living up to it.

Right.

But the Dalai Lama has a, you know, there's a, God had a different plan in the Dalai Lama's life.

And there's a there's a different trajectory for what he believes.

And so I think that it's it's fair to say that there's a lot of ways to interpret that and it doesn't have to be literal.
