"A sign that this new Pope will help to bring about greater unity among Christians."

If you define "unity" as captitulation by those who do not understand the Gospel, then perhaps you are correct. For those who see the thousand-mile-wide chasm between Rome and the Scriptures, the "unity" will occur only when Rome recants its enormous volume of errant doctrines. We stand waiting with open arms.

What errors?

Maybe it is a sign that Chrisians are getting away from fighting each other for a change and are embracing more of what is in common, say for example of having a common Christian baptism.

“We stand waiting with open arms.”

While you stand there waiting, other Protestants and Catholics are opening their hearts and finding we are all brothers in Christ. Changes in the Anglecan church, evangellicals in Argentina, and reproachment with our Eastern orthodox friends - and Rome is flexable and in effect saying, “it’s ok if your path is a little different if it leads you to Christ.” Pretty historic stuff given the last 496 years. At least your arms are open, if less so for your heart. We pray for you.
