There's some really weird foreshadowing in some of the things the Roman Catholic Church and also this pope have done recently.
Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium 16, November 21, 1964 But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place among whom are the Muslims: these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankinds judge on the last day.
John Paul II, address to the Catholic community of Ankara, Turkey, November 29, 1979 After quoting Nostra Aetate 3, he says: My brothers, when I think of this spiritual heritage (Islam) and the value it has for man and for society, its capacity of offering, particularly in the young, guidance for life, filing the gap left by materialism, and giving a reliable foundation to social and juridical organization, I wonder if it is not urgent, precisely today when Christians and Muslims have entered a new period of history, to recognize and develop the spiritual bonds that unite us, in order to preserve and promote together for the benefit of all men, peace, liberty, social justice and moral values as the Council calls upon us to do (Nostra Aetate 3).
And WRT this pope, there all the globalist and "social justice" stances he's taken.
