How can the Church function as she was designed to by running in several different directions? From my perspective, as long as there are prohibitions that restrict our ability to sup at a common table of communion, how can there be unity?<BR/><BR/>The pope has reiterated what John Paul said long ago: there exists among Christians a certain brokenness. We cannot dress that up nor can we ignore it. Honestly, the UM Council of Bishops has issued statements that upset me far more than this one.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046469207005773680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-8118600852858411672007-07-19T13:05:00.000-05:002007-07-19T13:05:00.000-05:00I'm gonna go with John on this one.I'm gonna go with John on this one.Adam Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658691482502007651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-70205046935163937432007-07-18T20:15:00.000-05:002007-07-18T20:15:00.000-05:00My dictionary says “ecumenical” means: concerned w...My dictionary says “ecumenical” means: concerned with promoting unity among churches or religions. Note the “s” making churches plural. Since Catholic is the only church, and the rest of us are a church-want-to-be, then how can you have “ecumenical” with only one church. It’s like having a party with one person there. Sounds like double-speak to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-14155788595702045942007-07-18T18:21:00.000-05:002007-07-18T18:21:00.000-05:00I'm just not offended by the Pope's statement.

So as long as he's not burning Protestants at the stake, what's the big deal?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854543617806427302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-9234994940665850042007-07-18T10:19:00.000-05:002007-07-18T10:19:00.000-05:00I like your interpretation of the conversation bet...I like your interpretation of the conversation between Polly Protestant and the Pope. It is really disheartening that he issued such a decree. And now the back-peddling is worse than our politicians after they commit a verbal faux pas. cbCARYLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680700410085498628noreply@blogger.com
