Isn't the Catechism supposed to be infallible? Justify this

Do you lack reading comprehension? They profess to hold the faith of Abraham. That doesn't mean that they do, only that Our Lord understands their tragic situation.

1) Christ is the way, the truth, life itself. The only way on earth to salvation is through Christ.
2) The apostolic Church is the keeper of God's grace through the sacraments, which are signs of God's grace. However, the Church is not established to restrain the grace of God and cannot do it. For example under certain conditions a Muslim can baptized a future christian.
3) The church cannot act in place of God outside of her sacred mission (one of the reasons why papal infallibility is incredibly limited). God is merciful and may choose to save who he wants.

4) A sincere and practicing Muslim who loves God and his neighbour and who hasn't had the occasion to really know the Christian faith would deserve God's mercy, though the Church cannot guarantee it.

5) The only people not included in God's plan of salvation are those who deny his grace, like most atheists or Judas, not because he betrayed Jesus, but because he refused God's mercy by hanging himself.

>The whole "infallible" thing is only with the Pope and only when declared an infallible statement. It has only been done four times in the entire history of the church.

Moreover, he must speak kn accordance with Catholic doctrine and tradition. He could for example very hardly declare abortion licit.

>The Catholic Church is not monolithic,, lots of regional variation. This is probably from a liberal American Catholic organization.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a pretty central document. However in most editions it is well commented.

If you died today do you know for sure you're going to Heaven?

Here's how you can know for certain: youtu.be/WDEBz25lGdY

1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
>that ye may know that ye have eternal life

Sad trips of truth.

They deny Christ is God. Jesus was pretty clear that people who deny he's God are going to Hell. They don't even really worship the Father either, but a corruption of Him.

That article of faith is not wrong, only your uncharitable understanding of it. The only thing wrong about it is that it opens itself to liberal interpretations like what you are doing in the OP but almost no one who calls themself Catholic does. Everyone understands that they do not worship Jesus Christ as God and some even understand that they worship a counterfeit Father. The only point that article is trying to make is that God Himself is not unaware of this tragedy.

>but almost no one who calls themself Catholic does.
Doubt

I'm sure he is but that doesn't mean they are part of the "plan of salvation." They are damned.

>Doubt
Of course you do, user.
>I'm sure he is but that doesn't mean they are part of the "plan of salvation." They are damned.
... and of course you also know better than God. God can use an ass if He needs to, user, and He can make faithful Catholics out of grains of sand. Your expectation of who is saved and who is damned is perfectly irrelevant.

>Of course you do, user.
It's a mainstream belief among Catholics, maybe not majority, but accepted and prominent, that hell is nearly empty. How does that square with narrow is the way and small is the gate? Here's a bishop with over 200k+ subscribers saying he believes Hell is nearly empty.

>God can use an ass if He needs to, user, and He can make faithful Catholics out of grains of sand.
Then they're not muslims anymore, they're Catholics. Biblically there is no plan of salvation for muslims. Either they convert before they die which makes them Christians or they go to Hell.

>Your expectation of who is saved and who is damned is perfectly irrelevant.
Then Jesus' expectation of who is saved and who is damned is irrelevant because I'm simply repeating what he said.

You're a pompous ass, btw.

>It's a mainstream belief among Catholics, maybe not majority, but accepted and prominent, that hell is nearly empty.
Yeah, and? We're not the omniscient and omnibenevolent judges of creation, we don't usually tell you who is in hell and who is not, we simply tell you that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church, but this doesn't mean it is She who is in charged of judging you, only One can do that. As much as I want to tell you that Martin Luther and your proddie heroes are all burning and screaming right now, it not my place to do so and if I do I commit the sin of presumption. I have some major disagreements with Bishop Barron and I don't think he does a whole lot of good spreading Balthasarian theology but it is still a great lesson on humility if you're willing to listen.

>Biblically there is no plan of salvation for muslims.
Biblically, there is a plan of salvation to everyone. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and respect the Moral Law, seek the Sacraments if possible unless you're in a state of invincible ignorance. But there is also the understanding that acts of True Love can save you and we have some miraculous testimony to this fact.

>You're a pompous ass, btw.
I don't care what you think of me, especially not when you're unable to appreciate anyone donating their time talking to you. I don't think you're here in good faith at all honestly, you've already proven yourself to be resistant to correction because of course (of course!) the Catholic Church can only be wrong, so I'm just responding because there are lurkers who might benefit from your ignorance. I just find it ironic that you're calling me pompous when I am not the one condemning people to Hell ITT, in fact, I pray for their salvation.

I purposely phrased it in such a provocative way just to show you how much you do not know of Catholic theology nor what the articles of our faith mean. You're still unironically convinced that Catholics believe that Muslims are their brothers in faith. This should be preposterous for anyone of sound mind but alas you're more moved by animosity to the Catholic Church than you are by Truth.

>You're still unironically convinced that Catholics believe that Muslims are their brothers in faith.
I wouldn't go that far, but I'm still waiting for a Pope that spits on the Quran rather than kisses it.

So you're saying that it is more productive for a Pope to antagonise the other religions than he is building bridges and hoping for dialogue and conversions? You do understand that the Pope doesn't command armies any more, right? So you really want him to start excommunicating proddies and schismatics again? Especially Schismatics whose only really fault is not conceding to the Filioque and not acknowledging the primacy of Rome? What about the Orders in open rebellion like the SSPX was or the Franciscans in Bosnia? Should they also be treated with open hostility for their lack of docility and obedience to the Pontifex Maximus? Or should he start throwing the Swiss Guard at any known proddie tourists roaming about in the Vatican and lashing them 20 times every day for a month until the day they confess their sins and are executed? Should he call for another Crusade against Islam and the liberation of Jerusalem from the hands of the Jews?

Stop LARPing. The Pope has very little political power. All he can do is damage control, this has been the case for almost 2000 years.
