Carroll, about the Pope: "But he does so as a way of positing Christian superiority to other faiths."

Even in ordinary life, some routes are superior.
Six families go on vacation, heading toward an Inn at the top of a mountain.
They come to a spot where the road branches off in many directions. One of the drivers looks at the travel directions and decides to follow the route that the owner emailed them. He suggests the other drivers follow the same route, and one other driver agrees. The rest go off in different directions.
The two families that take the suggested route arrive at their destination safely.

Two other families get to the top of the mountain after following winding, dangerous routes. One family turns around, drives back to the point where they took a wrong turn, and then takes the suggested route. One family never makes it to the summit.

If the Pope believes he knows the safest route to heaven, charity demands that he point it out.

Exactly. That's why I am not offended by the evangelical efforts of Christians to convert Jews like me.
