VATICAN CITY (Zenit.org) - A priest at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is affirming that the newly established Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, the Ordinariate of the United Kingdom, is "very important" to Benedict XVI.
....
"In the area of ecumenism it strengthens the Catholic Church's approach in two ways," the priest noted. "It promotes sincere dialogue with a Christian defense of life and the promotion of peace."
He stated: "The goal of the ecumenical movement is complete visible union with one Christ and with Peter in one Church. We must cooperate and grow together."
"Unity is built on two pillars, love and truth," the priest added.
True ecumenism promotes unity through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation amongst those of different faiths. The game of so-called "ecumenism" as played by the Roman Catholic Church is the same old, same old, my way or no way. Unity means becoming one of them.
What we see in the statement here is a bit more truth-telling and a bit less covering up of the true purposes of ecumenism as defined by the RCC. In the end, the members of the so-called "Anglican" ordinariates will be Roman Catholics and no longer Anglicans.
And poaching by any other name still stinks.
