[Dr. Eckleburg]

According to the catechism of the RCC of 1994...

"841 - The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

That always cracks me up. The RCC actually prefers the Christ-denying muslims to each and every Protestant in spite of the fact we share a Trinitarian Christian faith in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

No wonder JPII kissed that satanic book. It was written by those in "first place."

That paragraph is in a section that specifically addresses non-Christian peoples and religions. Protestants are Christians and as such are not considered in this section.

Now that you know, I trust that you will refrain from posting this section of the catechism in a misleading way again.

"841 - The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

Wow.

I guess the Jews are delegated to the back of the bus, huh?

Lookee here:

...together with us they adore the one, merciful God

"Adore." Isn't that what Catholics do to Mary?

BTW wasn't the Creator Jesus Christ?

Do Muslims believe that Jesus is the Creator?

Do Catholics believe that?

I'm confused.

Is Islam just another Roman Catholic schism?

The pope has none of my respect as any kind of a "Christian" leader. Absolutely not after kissing the koran. Not after sitting down in a mosque. Not after the catechism you quoted. If this current pope would would denounce what those things, then perhaps I would reconsider giving him a little respect, but until that day (which I doubt would ever happen), in the minds of those who love the truth, they must see him as a pretender in the same ranks as Warren, Hinn, et al.

I just don't get how such an apostate can actually be called the "vicar" of Christ while saying that His enemies adore Him. Ugh. All other doctrinal issues aside, that is enough to disqualify him as being a spokesman for the Lord Jesus Christ and those who follow Him.
