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

It's right there in the catechism. I'm guessing the blog authors of "Restore DC Catholicism" have their own personal interpretation of it.

Yes, the bloggers are asserting that it is completely in line with Catholic Tradition. Hogwash. There are numerous quotes from saints and popes that make it VERY clear that Islam is a diabolical religion. A diabolical religion can not “adore” the same God no matter which so-called meaning of adore is used.

This is just an example of more post-Vatican II mental gymnastics. The same sort of stuff you see when Vatican II Catholics try to explain away Francis’ words and actions.
