Catholic is what the Holy See says it is. Or do you think that you have more authority than the Holy See to define what Catholic is?
Fundamentalist Catholicism pretends things about Christian unity that they don’t really mean. A pope can declare himself fully behind ecumenism, but one must read between the lines. What he is really saying is: “On my terms.”
There is no pretending. The Catholic Church wants full, visible unity. It has never said otherwise. Read JPII's (1995) encyclical Ut Unum Sint.
Hyper-denominationistic, Catholic fundamentalism says that Christian unity means everyone all changing to what I Catholicism is.
That's what the Church has always believed.
Fundamentalist Catholicism believes that its past is lilly white, and everyone else is stained.
That is simply false. I know not a single Catholic who believes that the Church's past is "lilly white".

Pure sophistry it now is clear....
Pretending to accept differences is hardly the same as accepting differences. To now say, "we always meant that y'all are 'sposed to recognize how wrong you are and how right we are." is simply dissimulation.
We now know that it's just more of the same -- hyper-denominationalistic, Catholic fundamentalism. It's like the Bush pretense on the religion of peace, Islam. We all know that Islam is doing their damndest to spread the message of Islamic fundamentalism.
Who are you kidding??? Neither JPII nor Pope Benny could even bring themselves around far enough to recognize non-Catholic Churches as even worthy enough to be referred to by them as "Churches". They are mere "Communities" in their eyes and in their bulls. According to them, only Catholics go to "Church" on Sunday. Everyone else goes to "Communities" on Sunday.
