Let's stay on track with approved Roman Catholic doctrine...Dolan is toeing the party line here.

We got an anathema. Muslims got dinner and a movie!

Ha! Funny, but really thick-sliced baloney-oney-o, my dear Alex.

If you're talking about Back Then, you got an anathema and the Muslims got 200 years of Crusades, PLUS getting their butts kicked at Lepanto, Malta, Vienna and Prague. If you're talking about Now, you got this (hold onto your halo):

838 "The Church knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter." Those "who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church."

So there you are: certainly, though imperfectly!

It's true!

Dinner and a movie forthcoming!
