The Jews are discussed in an earlier paragraph. I agree the catechism is a disaster but in this case you're barking up the wrong tree, the muslims are the first among the heathen to be discussed.
That’s not what it says.
That’s not what it says.
There’s a difference between what the CCC actually says and what Catholics say it means.
Instead of going by the *interpretation* offered by the church to excuse what is said, maybe the someone just ought to take a good hard look at what is really being said.
The only ones who *know* what is *really meant* are those Catholics who have been told otherwise by their church. The rest of the world, with good reading comprehension, takes the words written down and validated by the RCC itself, at face value.
If what is said isn’t what is meant, then it behooves someone in the RCC to rewrite it so it actually reflects what they mean, instead of just going around telling everyone else they’re wrong.
If the Catechism isn't the single best, most concise expression of required Catholic doctrine, what else is out there that takes its place?
That is true.
