Instead of acknowledging the true depth of our differences, the implicit assumption (from the start of the document until its final paragraph) is that Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant Evangelicals and others all share a common faith in and a common commitment to the gospels essential claims. The document repeatedly employs expressions like we [and] our fellow believers; As Christians, we . . .; and we claim the heritage of . . . Christians. That seriously muddles the lines of demarcation between authentic biblical Christianity and various apostate traditions.
Ping for later
