It isn’t projection unless you consider yourself a protestant heretic. I would say however, that one sure does place limits on God when they suggest that the true God cannot appear during a spiritual exercise of another faith. I don’t discount the possibility which is what I believe Pope Francis is trying to say. But to those whose god is small, that is not possible and ergo they don’t believe in the true God.
What is a Protestant heretic? I said YOU are projecting saying 'protestants' don't know about Christianity when it is Catholicism has nothing to do with Christianity. Are you into jumbling what your opponent says deliberately or do you have a problem with comprehension?
The Holy Spirit does make JESUS known to everyone including muslims. And not everyone listens. He does the same for Catholics and Mormons but most are too deceived and refuse to leave 'their man-made teachings' which void God's Word. So look at 'Rome's mess before criticizing anyone.
God's WORD is the FINAL authority but it's not for heretics.
