Why do you say that "Ratzinger is opposed to this"?
Actuallty I said that Ratzinger SEEMS opposed to this. This is what he actually said... I dunno... how do you take this?
"The lives of these saints show us how in the Church of Christ there is a unity in truth and a communion of grace which transcend the borders of any nation. With this in mind, I pray in particular that Gods will may be done by all those who seek that unity in the truth, the gift of Christ himself."
