And with all due respect, all of this instead of a simple answer to a simple question?

(*tsk*) Irritable sort of reply, eh? Belligerence isn't a good way to convince people that you've put your flame-weapons away. Nowhere did I sign in blood that I was obligated to chat with those who pick fights, or who're irritable and/or insulting. They're free to be as obnoxious as they wish (and many of them often make quite free with that, frankly); it'll just dramatically reduce the probability that I'll reply to them. Just saying.

As for your question: I was talking to more people than just you (though I pinged you specifically); it was a general sort of "FYI", and I considered the FYI announcement to be a good investment of my time, so that other anti-Catholics wouldn't have an excuse to be mystified when I declined to reply to their more rabid and/or vapid anti-Catholic paroxysms. If my reply didn't meet your personal tastes... well... sorry to hear that.

CCC 841 teaches that Roman Catholics and Muslims worship the same "merciful God" --

True... though Muslims worship Him badly, and with a great many serious errors. This is an admission that the Muslims are monotheists in the Judeo-Christian sense (i.e. one supreme God who created the world ex nihilo).

however, Muslims DENY that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.

Given that the CCC isn't a book of Muslim beliefs, that isn't much of a difficulty; the Muslims are mistaken, on that point.

Muslims worship a false god.

No, they do not. They worship the One True God, but they worship Him in almost complete ignorance of His True Nature... much like Aristotle worshipped the One God (albeit with severe misunderstandings about Him).

Yet, Rome persists in teaching that Catholics and Muslims worship the same "God" -- this is a heretical error.

You are in error, in saying so... and given the fact that beliefs which you espouse on this very forum (e.g. "sola Scriptura", "sola fide", etc.) are heresies, it's rather odd to see you talk about "heretical" ANYTHING. Pot, meet kettle.

Muslims worship a false god.

No, they do not. They worship the One True God, but they worship Him in almost complete ignorance of His True Nature... much like Aristotle worshipped the One God (albeit with severe misunderstandings about Him).

Really? You must actually then worship their same false god!!!

Try this for me: go find a Muslim, tell him Jesus is God's Son.... and then tell him he worships the one Triune God.

Then... get back to me.

Until then, the ignorance of your answer speaks volumes as the Qu'ran is VERY specific as to who Muslims worship. It is NOT the one true living God.

Does God sanction murder of women and children for the sake of spreading Christianity? Rome did the Crusades, but there was no sanction for it... the Muslim god SANCTIONS this.

Does this sound like God Almighty? And this goes beyond worshipping God "in error."

Go learn about Islam and get your eyes opened...CCC 841 teaches heresy and manifest error. It teaches that Catholics worship the false god of Islam.
