Aside from the sheer laughability of this, the one thing that DOES stand out to me is that the Roman Catholic Church tends to identify with Muslims and Islam FAR more than Protestants:
"The Church’s relationship with Muslims. The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place among 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 (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 841, quoting Lumen Gentium 16, November 21, 1964)." The quote taken from justforcatholics.org. Emphasis mine.
Any plain reading of the Koran shows that the Muslims do NOT worship the Triune God. In fact, they worship Satan, no? Yet, the above quoted text would indicate something pretty terrible if you're a Roman Catholic... something terrible like Roman Catholics worship the same god they do.
Pretty sad if you ask me.
The "plan of salvation" is God's plan through His only begotten son Jesus Christ... someone the Muslims deny as being God. I think the Roman Catholic Church needs to rethink their friends.

"The Church and non-Christians"
Now that you KNOW this, perhaps you can remember to mention that fact when you post misleading excerpts?
Hoss, what is the title for the section of the Catechism you posted?
How about posting the whole section?
Then perhaps look at what the section you posted actually says.
I think that would make an honest post out it.
