The modern Catholic Church has defined her relations to non-Christian religions in a document entitled Nostra Aetate. The section on Islam begins thus:

The Church regards with esteem also the Muslims. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to men.

Their own catechism says as much. Any claim that the catechism is being misunderstood IMO should cite a document least as authoritative as the catechism, if we're supposed to take it seriously.

My God, sent His only Son to die for me.
Their god wants me to send my son to die for him.

I will not speculate on the motives of the modern Catholic hierarchy for making this false assertion.

Their motive is fear.They are afraid to be politically incorrect

[SuperLuminal]

"...Islam are monotheistic religions..."

Correction, islam is a cult which has "death to all non-believers" as its ideological prime directive.

re: According to the Catechism, ‘together with us (Catholics) they (Muslims) adore the one, merciful God.’ Pope John Paul II repeats this statement even more clearly. Addressing Muslim youths, the Pope said: ‘We believe in the same God, the one and only God, the living God, the God who creates worlds and brings creatures to their perfection’ (What Dialogue Means for Catholics and Muslims, US Conference of Catholic Bishops, http://www.usccb.org/seia/brunett.htm).

This is beyond irrational. I may have two small white pills. One is an aspirin and the other is arsenic. So they are both small and white. But it would be crazy to conclude that they are the same. There were those in ancient times who believed in Baal or Molech. Does that mean that they were actually worshipping the one true God of the Bible? If the Pope or anyone else believes that one they have missed one of the biggest messages in the entire Bible.

Nope, in that Allah doesn’t exist.

And yet, the Roman Catholic Church TEACHES the following as it appears in their Catechism of the Catholic Church:

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

Emphases mine. Makes for interesting reading.

Makes me wonder. "...together with us [Catholics], they [Muslims] adore the one, merciful God."

There's an implication there that both Catholics and Muslims adore the same God. Tried asking a question about it but can get no straight answer. Since it's taught by the Catholic Church, do Catholics believe that Muslims adore the God of the Bible?

There is only one God so anyone who worships God worships the same God.
Problem is the ROP concept of God: it is distorted.

[tioga]

I worship a God that is love. I do not worship a god that hates and kills. It’s really very simple.

Biggest bunch of horse hockey so far this week.

[servantboy777]

Can’t believe folks are still asking that question.

Good grief, satan is obviously utilizing Islam to kill, steal and destroy.

I’ve not seen a peaceful Islamic society...yet.

[RinaseaofDs]

No.

[omega4412]

Note that the Catholic Catechism says that Muslims “profess to hold the faith of Abraham” — which is true — not that they “hold the faith of Abraham.”

[MasterGunner01]

God and Allah are not the same. Islam is a sham death cult. A made-up quasi religion and political system designed by a thief, thug, misogynist, murderer, pedophile, schizophrenic, and sociopath lout named Mohammad.

[terycarl]

I do not believe that the God of the Bible is the same as Allah........That having been said.....there is only one God and to give that God different names and view Him through different eyes is what some maintain is happening.

It is a real problem between different religious systems. I think of Islam as more of a political philosophy than a religion....a religion doesn't need a caliphate to exist....Islam does.

[george76]

Their Allah never had a son.

God of the bible had a son.

[Secret Agent Man]

No. Next question.

[ebb tide]

Catholics do not and never did worship the devil "god" of the moose limbs.

Also, Please, Don’t Call Protestants Christians

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

No. Jesus is the only way to the Father. Therefore Mad Mo leads to plain old idol worship, a.k.a. Satan.
