We would expect a return to Rome in days of apostasy; back to the dark ages.

There's truth to that - And a very good reason to avoid the "ecumenism" of Rome. Unity for unity's sake is false, as is compromise (syncretism).

Especially in light of the fact that, to Rome, it's not about finding a common ground with non-catholics.

"The results will be that, little by little, as the obstacles to perfect ecclesiastical communion are overcome, all Christians will be gathered, in common celebration of the Eucharist, into the unity of the one and only Church, which Christ bestowed on his Church from the beginning. This unity, we believe, subsists in the Catholic Church as something she can never lose, and we hope that it will continue to increase until the end of time. - Second Vatican Council.

This UNITY, is a one way street. A dead end for anyone foolish enough to think there will be compromise by Rome in order to unify the body.
