Yes, I will pray for that, and I think it will happen eventually, even if it’s only when Christ returns. I do think though, that even though God’s ultimate goal is for perfect unity, He knows that we wouldn’t likely achieve that in this world. Just like each individual Christian has to struggle with our sins before we are finally perfected by God, maybe the church on Earth must wrestle with itself and fail many times before God wins the battle for us.

Bless you, Boogie, my thoughts as well.

Have a good day and I will leave you with this toast from Blessed John Henry Newman:

"If I am obliged to bring religion into after-dinner toasts, (which indeed does not seem quite the thing) I shall drink,—to the Pope, if you please,—still, to conscience first, and to the Pope afterwards."
