The Catechism of the Catholic church states it plainly.

http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P29.HTM

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.

And isn’t there also something that says if they disagree with Vatican II that they can’t be Catholic?

Muslims are in no way worshipping the same God.

It is amazing it takes a former RC to provide what the text actually says, which is missing in the DC RC spin, for V2 and the CCC does not merely say the Muslims profess to worship the God of Abraham, but it affirms that "together with us they adore the one, merciful God..."

There can be no reading "profess" into the latter part. They would only be credible by admitting the liberal faction of V2 worked that in there, and be like the sedevacantists in rejecting that council as authoritative. But as there is more that needs to be rejected in order to hold to saving Truth, just this rejection would only leave them as lost as before.

I. THE CHURCH IS ONE...from the link.

The Catholic leadership , and on their vatican website, appeals to the New Age Spirituality in the language they use of “Oneness”. As well as other verbiage which unites the movement and other faiths within the Catholic faith as “all”.

God never includes “ALL” ...The God of the Bible is a God of distinctions, the catholic church has lost sight of those distinctions....and the church has lost sight of why that is so ....rather it's playing into the 'Universal' push which is inclusive of all religions worshipping the same God....which they don't. The leadership is doing this because they desire 'to lead' this agenda and have the power at the head of the representation which forms as the NWO shapes up.
