The 'praise' consists of the acknowledgement that they have a distant and imperfect glimpse of the True God, but that they are totally wrong in how they worship Him.

That is how you see it, but to a Muslim - based on what the Catechism says as well as what your Pope said to the Muslim youth - they are told they worship the SAME god. I know it is hard to admit that the higher-ups in your church could ever be wrong about anything, but they are about this. Pretending that Allah and Jehovah are the same is diabolical! It does NOT help in evangelizing them to the truth.

Nope, they simply understand how things are. This is the wisdom of the Magisterium, not the god that so many Protestants see starting back at them when they look in the mirror.

This little hobby-horse of yours calling non-Catholics worshipers of themselves is stale and broken. Your "wise" magesterium have failed miserably with the Muslim issue. It's too bad those who hold your eternity in their hands can be so clumsy.

So? We can say the same about the JWs. Or the Oneness Pentecostals.

Not as long as the practice continues.

It is not the Catholics who are wiping out Middle Eastern, North African and Balkan Christians. It is the non Catholic Christians at the State Department. Look at the casualties caused by our policies over the last 20 years.
