Here it is: 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."
Cardinal Arinze said: "[A document from the Second Vatican Council] says that God's grant of salvation includes not only Christians, but Jews, Muslims, Hindus and people of good will. It's a high possibility he may be the next pope. His teaching directly contradicts Jesus' teaching that He *alone* is the way to salvation. Now for those that don't profess the Christian faith that will not be significant. But the Catholic church considers itself to be a Christian denomination. How then can they continue to support the position of the catechism and the teachings of this cardinal? Especially considering the direct contradiction of the teachings of the Bible?

That's a direct contradiction of what the scriptures say. Charles Mims http://www.the-sandbox.org -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lowell R.
