What did he say?
Other than what he said?
He said that somehow the Church must be present in faithful non-Catholic assemblies but that the Church “subsists” in the Roman Church.
Everyone seems to be taking this statement as an attack. It isn’t. It’s a statement of the Catholic Church’s self -understanding as the Church that Christ founded.
It is what Rome has said all along.
The document tries to find language that includes others while being true to itself.
All of the hollering was mostly generated by non-Catholic Christians responding to the complaints of secularist journalists and liberal Protestants.
By the way, I am NOT Roman Catholic and do not agree with the claim that the Roman Catholic Church is the one church. I just admire their honesty and charity.
