Yes, they were blind.
whose Catholic principles were formulated by the Second Vatican Council in 1964.
And they formulated Catholic principles in 1964, 54 years later and with a ONE WAY sign attached, all pointing to Rome and Protestants moving toward HER by accepting HER principles and beliefs. There is no room for compromise with Rome, as the Second Vatican Council made clear. So we are left with unity, ecumenism, as defined by the "Dogma of Ecumenism," no. 4 that I just gave you. Seems that Rome thinks She is in the driver's seat on Ecumenism.
The Church has been emergent and emerging for 2000 years.
>>into the unity of the one and only Church<<
One world religion you say?
That’s what it seems they’re going for...like lemmings..happy, happy lemmings. {sigh}...
Indeed. I would hate to believe in something that could be called, say, the "One holy, catholic, and apostilic Church."
That would be bad.

Yes. If it were an apostate church, with a different gospel, and another Christ, it would be bad. No matter how many lemmings claimed membership.
And yet in many cases -- e.g., as exemplified by Rob Bell and Donald Miller, to name a couple of emerging church types -- it is none of that.
What I see, is an author nitpicking on doctrine, and some other folks apparently disliking the approach those folks are using to take the Gospel out into the world.
Well, as I noted above -- Jesus had something to say about folks like that.
Perhaps you need to take a deep breath, step back, and look at what those guys are doing.
I linked to a couple of excellent books, above. Give 'em a read, and then come back and tell me about "emerging churches."
