Please check the writings on Islam from Thomas Aquinas, if looking for Catholic wisdom.

Just a quick note to encourage folks to watch the video. The argument is not that Charles de Foucauld was a pluralist (he wasn’t!) but that his encounter with Islam was a sort of catalyst for his re-discovery of his Catholic faith. Charles had an intense love for the Church, the poor, and the Eucharist.

He was canonized in 2022.
I know about him as we celebrated his canonization here in Morocco at the time.

Saint John Bosco had quite a bit to say about Islam as well! All bad though. As my homilist lovingly stated during one of his sermons "there are many people in hell with college degrees."

Islam and Christian do not believe in the SAME GOD as they want you to believe. Be careful!

Amen
