How The Scapular Saves.
So many Catholics, in a desire to be ecuminical have tried to erode Catholic doctrine. In the proccess they have truncated their theology of sacraments and sacramentals, this has led to a dammage of how God's grace is mediated to a more protestant system. We can say a sacramental saves, not in that it does it by its own power, but through the intercession of the Church! So it does not take away from Jesus' passion, rather the power of the Cross reaches across time because of the Church's intercession.
