text: You are forgetting that the documents of Vatican II are  binding upon the Catholic church as much as the Council of Trent was binding upon the Church until  Vatican Council I [1869-70].  
  
  The Church MUST deal with the world in which it currently exists.  Jesus wasn't loved by all when he lived upon this earth.  Why would the Church expect to be treated better than it's Head?  
  
  The 'conversion of these souls' is not done by denigrating their religious faith.  Secondly, we have much more in common with these religions than we do with the 'so called Christians' who refuse to open their hearts to the Gospel of Christ and his call to conversion [conversion of conscience and heart].  Too many of these folks hold onto doctrines and practices [just like the Jewish Pharasees did at the time of Christ].  Instead of being enlivened and energized by the life of the Holy Spirit, the Catholicism/Christianity they offer to others is like dead leaves and sticks floating in dirty water.
