Oh, we find a lot of stuff there. Like how Catholics and Muslims have the same god.

CCC 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."

There is only one God; do you also acknowledge the God of Abraham is the only one God ? The Moslems do, albeit in serious error, as contrasted with the Athenians who did not know there is only one God for all men, who is the God of Abraham.

Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

And like how the creation days are viewed symbolically.

Too bad catholics don't seem to know the ccc as well as Christians do.

"CCC 841..."I can see where you are trying to take this and why. You are looking to throw any of a hundred or so oft used criticism hoping one will stick and harm the Church....keep trying. Nothing has worked yet. Please remember that the word "Allah" is the Arabic word for God, not the name of God. If Faith alone saved, the Muslims would be saved.

The Church regards with esteem also the Muslims. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in himself; merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even his inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. - Nostra Aetate 3
