Mortalium Animos has for its topic ecumenical efforts leading to indifferentism. Surely it does not forbid, for example, secular assemblies where Catholics mix with non-Catholics. None of that is happening when a Catholic cleric is present, not joining in any service or prayers.

Again, I don't like it because I don't see how it helps in conversion of the Jews, but I defer to the Roman Pontiff to decide for himself. It is certainly a salutary development that Catholic-Jewish relations warmed up a bit.

That is my last post on this topic on this thread. You can rant on without me.

Um, the lighting of the Chanukah candles was not a secular assembly. It was an interfaith assembly that involved prayers among non-Catholics....Jewish and others. You should check out the youtube videos out there. This wasn’t “just a lighting of a candle” that Bergoglio was involved in. Catholics are forbidden to participate in non-Catholic services (which includes anything non-Catholic).

But you keep on with your invalid ranting about our valid ranting. Eventually you’ll see the errors of yours and many of our clergy’s/popes’ ways.
