Tempering a controversial Vatican declaration on salvation, Pope John Paul II said this week that all who live a just life will be saved, even if they do not believe in Jesus Christ and the Roman Catholic Church.

The pontiff, addressing 30,000 pilgrims in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday, strongly reasserted the Second Vatican Council's liberal interpretation of the Bible's teaching on salvation.
