When we as laymen don't know the situation of Church, maybe we will recognize that Catholic Church gives more tolerance to Saracens or Mohammedans. No, I say No. This is not True. What we see is Contra Church Vatican II Sect which treats Saracens as peoples who worship the Same God whom Catholics worship. Catholic Church never teaches that Saracens or Mohammedans worship the Same God.
These are examples from many misleading from Vatican II :
Antipope Benedict XVI with his hand gestures publicly like salat on Grand Blue Mosque.
Antipope Francis kissed with Sheikh who was condemned by God because his Infidelity.
As we know that Antipope Francis the Apostate said that " Don't proselyte man, No No No. No Proselitismo No No No. "
We can conclude, this is impact from False Council from Satan which named as Second Vatican Council.
False Council taught what its teaching, for more know about Why Second Vatican Council is not from Catholic , you can read this : https://romancatholictraditional.blogspot.com/2025/05/is-second-vatican-council-catholic.html?m=1
But, there are many citation from the antipopes :
John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis (# 13), March 4, 1979: “We are dealing with each man, for each one is included in the mystery of the Redemption and with each one Christ has united Himself forever through this mystery.”
John Paul II, Centesimus Annus (# 53): “We are not dealing here with man in the ‘abstract,’ but with the real, ‘concrete,’ ‘historical’ man. We are dealing with each individual, since each one is included in the mystery of the Redemption and through this mystery Christ has united himself with each one forever.”
John Paul II, Homily, April 27, 1980: “… Jesus makes us, in Himself, once more sons of His Eternal Father. He obtains, once and for all, the salvation of man: of each man and of all…”
John Paul II, General Audience, Dec. 27, 1978: “Jesus is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity become a man; and therefore in Jesus, human nature and therefore the whole of humanity, is redeemed, saved, ennobled to the extent of participating in ‘divine life’ by means of Grace.”
Benedict XVI, Theological Highlighys of Vatican II, “The new text describes the relationship between the Church and non-Catholic Christians without speaking of ‘membership.’ By shedding this terminological armor, the text acquired a much wider scope… The Catholic has to recognize that his own Church is not yet prepared to accept the phenomenon of multiplicity in unity; he must orient himself toward this reality… Meantime the Catholic Church has no right to absorb other Churches.”
( Source: Joseph Ratzinger, Theological Highlights of Vatican II, New York: Paulist Press, 1966, pp. 61, 68 ) Benedict XVI on Zenit, “I have nothing against people who, though they never enter a church during the year, go to Christmas Mass, or go on the occasion of some other celebration, because this is also a way of coming close to the light. Therefore, there must be different forms of involvement and participation.” (Source : Zenit News interview, Oct. 1, 2001 )
Benedict XVI, Address to a group of International politicians, September 21, 2007: “Another cause highly esteemed by all of you is the defense of religious liberty, which is a fundamental, irrepressible, inalienable and inviolable right rooted in the dignity of every human being and acknowledged by various international documents, especially the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The exercise of this freedom also includes the right to change religion, which should be guaranteed not only legally, but also in daily practice... That is why all authentically religious traditions must be allowed to manifest their own identity publicly, free from any pressure to hide or disguise it… Moreover, due respect for religion helps to counter the charge that society has forgotten God…” (L’Osservatore Romano, October 10, 2007, page 5.)
Antipope Francis, on Heaven and Earth, “I do not approach the relationship in order to proselytize, or convert the atheist; I respect him… nor would I say that his life is condemned, because I am convinced that I do not have the right to make a judgment about the honesty of that person…” (Source: On Heaven and Earth, pp. 12-13)
Antipope Francis, On July 10, 2013 in a message to Saracens for the end of Ramadan, Bergoglio said:
“… esteem and friendship for all Muslims, especially those who are religious leaders… Christians and Muslims, we are called to respect the religion of the other, its teachings, its symbols, its values. Particular respect is due to religious leaders and to places of worship… think and speak respectfully of other religions and their followers, and to avoid ridiculing or denigrating their convictions and practices… Happy Feast to you all!”

Apostasies of John Paul II beside kisses the Quran Unholy Book
For example, in 1985, Antipope John Paul II explained how the redemptive Blood of Christ is not merely available to all (which is true), but that it actually reaches all and saves all.
John Paul II, Homily, June 6, 1985: “The Eucharist is the sacrament of the covenant of the Body and Blood of Christ, of the covenant which is eternal. This is the covenant which embraces all. This Blood reaches all and saves all.”
In contrast with this, the dogmatic teaching of the Catholic Church affirms that the Blood of Christ does not reach all or save all.
Pope Paul III
Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, Sess. 6, ex cathedra: “But although Christ died for all, yet not all receive the benefit of His death, but those only to whom the merit of His Passion is communicated.”
Pope Gregory XVI
Pope Gregory XVI, Inter Praecipuas (# 14), May 8, 1844: “Experience shows that there is no more direct way of alienating the populace from fidelity and obedience to their leaders than through that indifference to religion propagated by the sect members under the name of religious liberty.”
How Catholic Church treats Saracens alongside History?
Alongside history, Catholics always involved on Battles against Saracens and view Saracens as "Dangerous Threats" for body and souls. Therefore Catholic Church taught us to save Saracens from their false religion for their soul salvation.
When Battle of Granada, Saracens surrendered to Catholic Monarch because they have many losses on battle against Catholic. Almost hundred thousands Saracens were killed on the battle. Abul Hasan Ali was killed when he was prisoned by Spaniard Catholic Forces when he was rebelled by Aixa.
Abu'l-Hasan Ali became sultan in 1464, and in 1477 he refused to pay tribute to the Crown of Castile. In 1481 he ordered an invasion to the city of Zahara de la Sierra by surprise, killing and enslaving the unarmed Christian Zaharans. This action was taken by Isabella I of Castile as a reason to start the war against Granada.
He was the father of Muhammad XII (also known as Boabdil), the last sultan of Granada, by his relative Aixa.
He abandoned his son to marry the former Christian slave Isabel de Solís, the daughter of Sancho Jiménez de Solís, Alcalde of La Peña de Martos, who he gave the name Zoraida or Soraya (Thuraya, "Star") after her conversion to Islam and with whom he had two sons. This marriage caused a scandal. In 1482, he was ousted by a rebellion supported by Aixa and replaced by the son of his first marriage, Boabdil.
He was able to retake the throne in 1483, and reigned a further two years but on Battle against Spaniards, he was lose, he was died in 1485, and was succeeded by his brother. After the defeat of Granada in 1492, Zoraida and her two sons re-converted to Catholicism by Force Baptism. The sons took the names of Juan de Granada and Fernando de Granada.
Force Baptism by Inquistion during Reconquista, many Moors or Saracens were baptized on Christ's Name.
After Muhammad XII surrendered Granada to Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, The Holy Inquisition in Granada was started, The aftermath of war brought to an end coexistence between religions in the Iberian peninsula: Jews were forced to convert to Christianity or be exiled in 1492, and by 1501, all of Granada's Saracens were obliged to convert to Christianity, become slaves, or be exiled, if not, be killed; by 1526 this prohibition spread to the rest of Spain.
Under Inquisition, Many Moor Scholar or Ulema in Cordoba or Andalusia like Alfaquins, Cadís and Sabasales (Al-Fuqaha, Al-Qudat and Ashab As-Salat, that is, Islamic scholars, Islamic Judges and Imams respectively); Escrivans (Scrives); Alamins (Al-'Amin), or officials that represented the Aljama, many of them converted to Roman Catholicism and were baptized by Archbishop of Toledo in 1500s. (Source: de Castilla, Nuria. "The Moriscos and the Qur'an - Iberian Connections : Medieval and Early Modern Studies & Contemporary Critical Thought")
Juan Andrés or Muhammad Al-Faqih is one of examples from Ulema who converted to Roman Catholicism and wrote refutation of his former Religion, Confusion or Confutation of the Mohammedan Sect and of the Qur'an (Spanish: Confusión o confutación de la secta mahomética y del Alcorán). (Source: Juan Andrés, Confusión o confutación de la secta mahomética y del Alcorán, edited by Elisa Ruiz García (Salamanca, 2003))
Pope Pius II
On April 12, 1462, Pope Pius II gave a speech at the procession of the head of St. Andrew, and he said:
“Turn the wrath of the Almighty upon the godless Turks and the barbarians who hate Christ our Lord.” (Source : History of the Popes , Volume 3, pp. 260)
Map of Tlemcen, Algier
Besides Reconquista, after Reconquista, we can take an example How Catholics treats Saracens including when Saracen to be a prisoner war :
The fall of Tlemcen under Spanish Catholic Monarchy occurred in 1518, when the Ottoman Turk admiral and also Sultan of Algier, Oruç Barbarossa captured the city of Tlemcen from its sultan, Abu Zayan, the last member of the Banu Zayan lineage. Oruç was An Ottoman Turk who had reigned in Algier.
The fall of Tlemcen followed the capture of Ténès, also by Oruç and his brother, Hayreddin. The Sultan of Tlemcen then fled to Fez in Morocco. Oruç crowned himself king of Tlemcen. The only survivor of Abu Zayan's dynasty was Sheikh Buhammud, who escaped to Oran and called for Spain's assistance. Spaniards prepared for their weapons to combat the Oruç's garrisons.
This victory put Oruç in control of the backcountry behind the Spanish base of Oran, which greatly threatened their usual supply routes. This victory put Oruç in control of a considerable territory, the size of colonial French Algeria.
View of Fall of Tlemcen
The Spanish, however, soon reacted in 1518 by launching an attack under the governor Martín d'Argote against Tlemcen, which was 70 miles (110 km) away from Oran, and managed to corner and kill Oruç. They took possession of the region of Tlemcen.The Spaniards marched overland on Tlemcen where Aruj and Ishak awaited them with 1,500 levents soldiers and 5,000 Moorish soldiers. Aruj Barbarossa, who obtained Tlemcen in the east of Algeria, under the domination of Spain, defended the places he had won against the Tlemcen emir, who received help from the Spaniards. Aruj with his troops were defeated and slaughtered by Spanish and Zayyanids.
Aruj Barbarossa, knowing that he had no hope of salvation, plunged into his enemies again in order not to leave his levents alone. While trying to cross the river, most of his levents killed and slaughtered. Aruj Barbarossa as Sultan would be died soon as a result of the spear wound he received after seeing the last levent next to him die. Before died, he had been captured by Spanish troops. He was offered by Spaniard, would be baptized or would be decapitated, because Oruç rejected the Sign of Salvation, as a Sufi Martyr, He was beheaded by Spaniard Catholic Zealot, and His Head was piked and given to the King of Spain, Charles V of Holy Roman Empire. And would be awarded for Pope Leo X as Victory for Catholic Monarchy to conquer Algier.
Aruj's Head as Indulgence for Spaniard Catholics, Aruj' Head was given to Charles V as Symbol of Victory and as Gift to Pope
