What ecumenism?
Rome has never budging one inch on the Biblical truth of Sola Fide. Until they agree we are saved by faith alone we will never have one thing in common.

I take this as good news. A lot of protestant churches were caving in to Catholic Dogma and now the "Pope" has set things back to being closer to what they really are.
There is one mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus.
Catholics believe their church affiliation with save them, not a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Catholic church "eliminated" thousands of Anabaptists and other "non-true believers" because of this very issue. Christ alone, Grace alone, Faith alone.
Please keep offending protestants so they will stay away from your belief system.
