The late Pope made a connection between God and Allah.

Yeah, but that was his own theological opinion. He wasn't teaching that as Catholic dogma. As I said before, I am free to disagree.

Aw, c'mon...What a cop out...

According to you guys, your pope is the Theologian's Theologian...He's the Vicar of Christ, Christ on Earth...How could he make a mistake and how can a good Catholic disagree with him???

He's led by the Holy Spirit...He's the magisterium...He's the head of all religions of the world...And you disagree with him as to the nature of God???

What about the RC Cathecism? It seems to be all kissy with Mecca.

Nope. You, according to Paragraph 25 of Lumen Gentium of V2, are to "check your mind at the door":

Bishops, teaching in communion with the Roman Pontiff, are to be respected by all as witnesses to divine and Catholic truth. In matters of faith and morals, the bishops speak in the name of Christ and the faithful are to accept their teaching and adhere to it with a religious assent. This religious submission of mind and will must be shown in a special way to the authentic magisterium of the Roman Pontiff, even when he is not speaking ex cathedra; that is, it must be shown in such a way that his supreme magisterium is acknowledged with reverence, the judgments made by him are sincerely adhered to, according to his manifest mind and will. His mind and will in the matter may be known either from the character of the documents, from his frequent repetition of the same doctrine, or from his manner of speaking.
