"Quote of the Pope, from the article...“May we respect and love one another as brothers and sisters,”"
"...may we..."
Who is "we"? Who does the popester usually represent? He continues...
"...brothers and sisters..."
Hmmm. Until you can read the obvious, best thing for you to do is to attend to the board in your eye before claiming there is a mote in mine. 2 John does not remove our charge of the Great Commission; but the context as written seems pretty clear to me. If someone is teaching a false gospel, we're not to take part with it. If the pope is saying we're brothers and sisters, and we worship the same God (which the CCC teaches), then it seems to me to fit.
Is Mohammedism the true Gospel, or not?
Believe it or not, I get your point; but to equate them as believers (as the pope does by calling them "brothers and sisters" then makes the admonition in 2 John fall exactly into context.

“May we respect and love one another as brothers and sisters”
Unless you are a swami mind reader, there is no specific equating of, “as brothers and sisters”, to mean “you are our Christian brothers and sisters”.
It is a simple call to love one another. Any other assumptions are simply that, and appear to stretches, with no foundation.
