Is it just me, or does the Church seem a bit weird of late?
There is Christian unity. That doesn’t mean that Catholics and Lutherans and Baptists and Anglicans and Presbyterians and Methodists and Greek Orthodox etc. are all going to see eye to eye, or agree on every issue of faith or what is dogma. As long as we all believe in Christ, there is a very important unity. That doesn’t mean we’re all going to form one big mega church, but that’s a good thing. It keeps us all thinking and growing our faith.
Any Christ centered believer who puts there faith in him via his grace is saved.
Hey Carl, have a big helping of Kiss My A$$.
Ecumenism must shift to faith in Christ-plus-nothing. There is NO other gate.
That's one way of stating the issue. The simpler way is, "Who makes the decision when faithful Christians disagree about something important?"
If by being "ecumenical," the good cardinal means I get to decide and he will agree to accept my decision, I am all for it. But I suspect that's not what he means.
Yea, don’t think so pal.
Been there, done that. No thanks.
If Christians wants to receive the promise they must forsake
their religion and come back to the word of God.
Ecumenism has been the false religion of the post-Vatican II church for over 50 years. Most well-intentioned Catholics are unaware of the fact that they already subscribe to this non-Catholic belief that was promulgated by soon-to-be “canonized” Paul VI.
Some Orthodox reflections on true ecumenism...

Ummm, no thanks. There are plenty that wrongly claim Christianity or that say that the Bible is one of their Holy Books.... We are not to entertain or promote heresy. The Bible can even be pretty harsh in how to deal with heretics:
Beware of deceivers: “If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.” - John 1:10
