In what is an ongoing frustration for many Catholics, the Vatican continues to insist on friendly relations with Islam. It started with Nostra Aetate #3 and Lumen Gentium #16, neither of which are particularly compatible with what the saints previously said about Islam. Since the Second Vatican Council, this innovative understanding of a religion Catholic thinkers like Belloc have characterized as a “great heresy” continues to spiral. In Evangelii Gaudium #253, Pope Francis asserts that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” More recently, there has been common prayer in the Vatican gardens (where the imam went off-script and used subversive, anti-Trinitarian language in Arabic).

Meanwhile various Islamic groups have been talking about conquering Rome.

It sounds more like the Vatican is saying it's about time you guys get real about the Catholic religion and Izlam...

It's pretty clear to me that the majority of Catholicism agrees with the Vatican's positions

Nowhere in 841 does it imply that Muslims are saved. Additionally, actually “professing to hold” the faith of Abraham can be quite different from “holding the faith”.

It doesn't say that you guys are saved either...It puts you and the muzlims in the same boat...
