In my experience as a Protestant for many years, the individualist impulse makes wholesale community conversion difficult. "Church-splitting" is all too common phenomenon in Protestant circles--the Episcopal Church is suffering through this process rather dramatically right now.<br /><br />BXVI's Anglican initiative is unique in the history of the Church in that it invites whole parishes/dioceses to come into the Church largely intact. I really don't see that happening for other ecclesial communities.Fr.

The ecumenical movement as it stands is generally an attempt to negotiate away those elements of the Catholic faith that offend non-Catholic sensibilities. This is not true ecumenicism. Progressive Catholics with a reforming agenda for the RCC often use ecumenical bodies to challenge doctrines and positions that they do not like within the Catholic Church. This is party why the movement has produced so little good fruit. They are dialoguing in bad faith.Fr.

Dialogue is all very well and it is easy to say that talking to other Christian bodies is a moral duty, but there comes a time when action is needed. No good continuing to shout at each other from our fixed positions. A little movement is needed or full unity will never be achieved.a fragrance of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203662122586709308noreply@blogger.com
