But ecumenism was, above everything else, JPII's top priority. He was all about ecumenism.

I'd be careful if I were you. Saying JPII got anything "wrong" will get you in heap big trouble here. :-)

No, ecumenism is what various Catholic schismatics like to beat him over the head with. The late Pope's legacy also includes defeat of Communist ideology, marginalization of the liberation theology, developing the theology of the body, and, timid as it was, resistance to sundry innovators in the church. Nor was his entire ecumenist effort wrong. His incessant travel, for example, made the world more aware of Catholicism and quite possibly stemmed the decline in vocations.
