Sklba's anxious hand-wringing and linguistic gymnastics are exactly what has been wrong with so many Catholics - lay and clerical - involved in the Ecumenical Movement these past 40 years. Which is why, no doubt, the CDF and Pope Benedict wanted this statement proclaimed now.<BR/><BR/>Ecumenism was never meant to be a watering-down of - much less changing (which would be impossible...) - the Catholic Faith to make it more palatable to other Christian denominations.<BR/><BR/>Enough of the pious platitudes and mincing of words! We do our separated brethren no good service by not affirming what we know, by faith, to be true. There is only One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. We should not be smug or 'triumphalist' about it, but we must be clear and uncompromising. Something, sadly, Bp. Sklba still has to learn.GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-25595660767774152007-08-04T16:54:00.000-05:002007-08-04T16:54:00.000-05:00Dad; I recall that in Novemebr of 2006, when t...Dad;<BR/> I recall that in Novemebr of 2006, when the Bishops voted on criteria for music in the liturgy, the first criteria was that texts "should not make statements about the faith that are untrue." Apparently this criteria doesn't apply to Bishops....Chironomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024533507945352862noreply@blogger.com
