Your fears and opinion are ungrounded, at lease insofar as they  
relate to the actual teachings of the Catholic Church.

The clearest modern expression of how the Catholic Church understands  
its relationship to other Christian churches/communities and to other  
religions is the declaration-document "Dominus Iesus" (translates,  
"the Lord Jesus"), subtitled "On The Unicity and Salvific  
Universality of Jesus Christ and the Church," which was published on  
August 6, 2000.

You will find in it no notions of syncretism, universalism, or  
indifferentism as regards the "rigorous demands of Christ."

May Our Lord bless you and keep you.

In Christ,

Michael Bradley, Jr.
