I’ve heard a lot of people lately claim that Muslims and Christians “worship the same God.” Here are my thoughts on that claim, and if you're a Catholic who believes this—here’s my response.
I knew this debate would arise the moment I actually read what Vatican II teaches. I knew it would become mainstream, and I knew people would be forced to defend an indefensible position—and ultimately fail. The Catholic Church, after Vatican II, has become the very Antichrist system that the saints of the first millennium warned us about.
It now teaches that salvation is possible outside the Church of Christ, even claiming that Muslims “worship the one true God,” and that “the plan of salvation includes them.” This implies that one can be saved without Christ—which is blasphemy. This is Antichrist.
This is why the Catholic Church is spiritually dead. It has been for some time—now it's just slowly decaying. I pray sincerely that God will have mercy on Catholics. But tragically, many continue—by their own will and with full knowledge—to support this Antichrist system. And unless they repent, they are walking willingly toward damnation.
To any Catholic with a conscience: come home to the Eastern Orthodox Church. We have not compromised. We still proclaim the truth—that salvation is found only in Christ, and Christ is rightly worshipped only within His Body, the Orthodox Church.
This isn’t just personal conviction—it’s dogma. At the Council of Constantinople in 849, the Orthodox Church explicitly anathematized Muhammad as a false prophet and condemned Muhammadism (Islam) as a deception. These same anathemas are still proclaimed every year on the Sunday of Orthodoxy during Great Lent. We anathematize Arianism, Iconoclasm, and Islam because they are heresies—not paths to salvation.
So to my Roman Catholic friend: you know your church isn’t right on this. You feel the tension in your soul. Please return to the true Church of Christ. And even in your error, may Christ our God have mercy on you.
