I realize now that my comments were not fully reflective of the Catholic Church’s teaching on Islam.”...
Yeah what exactly is not “fully reflective”?
Our belief that Christ was God is pretty much the basis of Christianity.
And yeah there’s lots of religions that don’t believe He was.
But only one group tries to kill us because of it!!
Current Catholic teaching is to bow our heads to make the beheadings easier for the muslims.
Previous Popes understood the threat of Islam.

As Brandon Rogers notes in the Ignatius Press edition of G. K. Chesterton’s poem “Lepanto”: Pope Pius V “understood the tremendous importance of resisting the aggressive expansion of the Turks better than any of his contemporaries appear to have. He understood that the real battle being fought was spiritual; a clash of creeds was at hand, and the stakes were the very existence of the Christian West.” But then, as now, the unity of Christendom was shattered; and in the aftermath of the Protestant revolt, Islam saw its opportunity.
