by seeking the essential elements of the profession of faith that Scripture and Tradition uphold and on the basis of which, then, we must come together."Talk about stacking the deck on the call for Ecumenical Honesty.
While I haven't seen the final list of the 250 Proddies in attendance, I'm sure they were not those who would see any issue with that statement.
Nothing to see here folks, move along.
Did Brother Benedict plan his "Rock Star" whirl-wind tour
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua
to remove all coverage of the most holy of Christian and Jewish
YHvH commanded feast : Passover?
The question is: was it done deliberately or

I think this thread is becoming a Catholic bashing match.
I would love to hear the Pope describe, in a straightforward manner, exactly what his and his church’s ecumencial goals are.
Is his goal to convince Anglicans and Protestants that they are completely wrong and that they should immediately convert to Catholicism?
Is his goal to convince the Orthodox that he is, in fact, the head of the universal church and that they must submit to his authority as he defines it?
Is his goal to promote better understanding among the denominations so that cat fights such as the one on this thread do not occur?
Is there anything he is willing to concede?
Here is intellectual honesty. The Catholic Church is right and everyone else is wrong. That goes with having the Holy Spirit guide and protect.
Ecumenicalism. The Roman Church never tires of brandishing about this word.
They are like the democrats. Nonpartisanship to a democrat is when the pubbies lay down or bend over and say, “OK we’ll do it your way.”
I hate the word ecumenical. It is a farce. I’ll agree with Roman Catholics the day they accept the Protestant Reformation.
