Nothing wrong with ecumenism per se..

Nothing could be further from Catholic Truth:

Certainly such attempts can nowise be approved by Catholics, founded as they are on that false opinion which considers all religions to be more or less good and praiseworthy, since they all in different ways manifest and signify that sense which is inborn in us all, and by which we are led to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule. Not only are those who hold this opinion in error and deceived, but also in distorting the idea of true religion they reject it, and little by little, turn aside to naturalism and atheism, as it is called; from which it clearly follows that one who supports those who hold these theories and attempt to realize them, is altogether abandoning the divinely revealed religion. - Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, 1928

I may not have a clear understanding of ecumenism, I thought it was an attempt to seek common ground as a way to keep the peace; s show of goodwill comparable to public relations campaigns in the secular world...

Am I wrong?

Is there a strictly ecclesial interpretation of ecumenism that I am unaware of?
