The problem is that the Roman Catholic church says that they and the muslims worship the same God together with the Catholic church.

It’s right there in the CCC.

So is this:

839 “Those who have not yet received the Gospel are related to the People of God in various ways.”325 (856; 63; 147)

The relationship of the Church with the Jewish People. When she delves into her own mystery, the Church, the People of God in the New Covenant, discovers her link with the Jewish People,326 “the first to hear the Word of God.”327 The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God’s revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews “belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ”;328 “for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.”329

Last time I checked the Jews don't believe in the Triune God either. Would you say they worship a different God than Christians?

Nice try at avoiding the issue, but it's YOUR church and YOUR CCC that states that y'all and muzzies adore the same God.

No matter how you try to slice it, or rather INTERPRET it, it says what it says.

Y'all are stuck with it.

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst 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.."330

So the questions then become.

Are you obligated to believe it because it's in the CCC?

If you are obligated to believe it, do you?

Or do you disagree with it and run counter to the official teaching and position of the Catholic church?

Then where does that leave you? In schism?

Sources and links?

Is that an official teaching of the Catholic church as well or your own opinion?

BTW, the Trinity can be found in the OT.
