Ecumenism in our time: A fruit of the Council

Ecumenism in our time: A fruit of the Council: Distinctly Catholic: The Holy Father seemed pitch perfect during his visit to Sweden to join with Lutherans in a joint celebration of the Reformation.

MGB:_It is good that we are joining the Lutherans in prayer. Hopefuly we can join them in ordaining women. The key relationship to mend is with the Orthodox, particularly in recognizing the primacy of the Ecumenical Patriarch of New Rome. Old Rome became a backwater and the papacy’s continued claims of primacy have led some fundamentalists to retain the view that Luther started that Pope was anti-Christ.  Recognizing the primacy of New Rome will go a long way to overcoming that belief.
