I would disagree that Islam teaches many things about God which are true as we do not worship the same God. Jehovah is real. Allah is a false god. In my study of Islam it is all false as they teach a different version of who Christ is.
Using the principle of the excluded middle:
Jehovah is God
Allah is God
Neither is God
Only one of these statements can be true.
I still have a concern with the wording of the catechism when it says and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day.
This gives the impression that Catholicism and Islam are adoring the one, merciful God.
To me this is equating Jehovah and Allah as the same and they are not.
If this is not the case, why does the catechism say catholics and muslims adore the one merciful God?
I would suggest that the Islamic understanding of the God of Abraham is different from the Biblical understanding of the God of Abraham.
At the very least it is confusing and opens the catholic church up to possibly unwarranted criticism.
Again, I appreciate your post.
The more I learn about Traditional Catholic teaching the more I can not reconcile the Vatican II NewChurch to the Traditional Catholic Church of 1900 years. There are way too many ignorant Catholics on this forum who will go out of their way to defend the novelties of Vatican II.
“If this is not the case, why does the catechism say catholics and muslims adore the one merciful God?”
It does not. No matter how many times you try to claim that it does, it does not.
