No practicing Catholic would ever bash another religion

By which judgment you have just "bashed" many past popes and most of the RC posters in the RF here.

No I have not. That citation from the Catechism does not bash other religions. It states to baptized Catholics that they are to follow their religion

It simply does not bash other religions nor do Catholics

And I am not bashing anyone I am defending the faith against the earlier post which stated Catholics put down other religions. It is not in the tenets of Catholicism to do so

st distinguish heresy, apostasy, and schism270 - do not occur without human sin:

Where there are sins, there are also divisions, schisms, heresies, and disputes. Where there is virtue, however, there also are harmony and unity, from which arise the one heart and one soul of all believers.271
818 “However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church.”272
