Yes, but the topic is by itself fascinating.

Maybe it is, but FJ has a point in that the only reason the WCO is involved is to minimize the fundamentalist Christians who still adhere to the written word and have not become leberal bastions of the false church of Satan.

If the Catholic church desires to reconcile it's differences with evangelicals then the Catholic church needs to step back away from any dealings with the WCO. This will only make the Catholic church look even worse to evangelicals then they already do.

I mean give me a break, the Pope just a week or so ago, gave a sermon where he appeased Muslims in one of their Mosques. I highly doubt Christ would have entered a pagan temple, let alone appease the followers of that pagan god. So evangelicals are watching this and saying, "Uhuh, just as we thought, The Anti Christ"!

So, the Catholic's need to get their church leaders to step back from the course their leaders are taking it, not cozy up to the false religions they are in the process of doing.

If the Catholic church desires to reconcile it's differences with evangelicals

Well, that's a big if. The Evangelicals are welcome to study Catholicism and convert, and of course we are happy to cooperate on some social issues with the Evangelicals (or anyone else), but the doctrinal differences are not reconcileable at all. A reconciliation with the Orthodox is, on the other hand, the logic of history and undoubtedly will happen perhaps even in our lifetimes, but more likely in a couple of generations. Yet it is the calendar issue that visibly separates us from the Orthodox (and the Orthodox within themselves). We do not have calendar issues with the Protestants that I am aware of, except certain judaizing factions of them.

The WCC is a bastion of false ecumenism: the notion that all differences between Christians are reconcileable. As a whole, that is a silly and profoundly heretical idea. However, if they sponsor a technical study on an issue such as this and help the Orthodox and the Catholics find common ground, that is quite salutary.
