First, the system which is Catholicism is not Christianity. This does not mean that there are not Born-Again Believers that are Catholic, but the institution itself is not. We can see this through MANY of the actions that are contrary to biblical truth taken the Vatican over the years. This is one prime example. Back in January, I wrote an article, Breaking Faith: The Scriptural Warning Against Ecumenism, where I discuss the modern interfaith movement and how this is opposed to Scripture. Here is an excerpt:
"The ecumenical movement’s assertion that there are many paths to God stands in stark contrast to Scripture. Jesus unequivocally declared, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).

By promoting the idea of universal salvation through various religious traditions, the ecumenical movement undermines the exclusivity of Christ’s atonement.
