Commenting on the impact of that historic meeting, the Secretary General of the World Evangelical Alliance, Rev. Dr. Geoff Tunnicliffe said while the official conversations between Catholics and Evangelicals are an essential part of the ecumenical journey, the building up of trust and friendship leads to a deepening of those theological dialogues. He also talked about the importance of a meeting that he and other Christian leaders had in June with Pope Francis in the Vatican and about the legacy of Evangelical leader Tony Palmer who died ten days ago…..

Catholics tell us that Protestants are 52,000+ organizations ("with more popping up every day"), holding to 52,000 different interpretations of the Bible because we can't get along with each other, and yet we Protestants somehow managed to get together under one leader and hailed their pope.

Meanwhile, these same Catholics can't seem to get together to hail this pope themselves.

I'll be in the corner. Laughing.

This laughable alliance does not represent me or millions of other Evangelicals. We all believe one thing: Jesus Christ is Lord. If Catholics would stop their heretical Mary worship, then I would consider calling them Christians.

How about Pope Francis speaking out loudly and clearly against the slaughter of Christians by Muslims in Iraq, Syria, Africa and elsewhere. How about him loudly and clearly calling on all Muslim leaders, both religious and political, to do the same thing. When the Pope starts doing that day after day, I will begin to have some respect for him.

“Jesus, in John 17, clearly calls us to be one and I think for those outside the Church, it’s important for them to understand that while there are differences within the Christian denominations, at the core we have so many areas of communality….”

He speaks just like the Vatican II Catholics: Not like a Catholic.

Here is true Catholic teaching:

And here it seems opportune to expound and to refute a certain false opinion, on which this whole question, as well as that complex movement by which non-Catholics seek to bring about the union of the Christian churches depends. For authors who favor this view are accustomed, times almost without number, to bring forward these words of Christ: "That they all may be one.... And there shall be one fold and one shepherd,"[14] with this signification however: that Christ Jesus merely expressed a desire and prayer, which still lacks its fulfillment. - Mortalium Animos, Pope Pius XI, 1928

I bring this up over and over again and Catholics still buy into the false ecumenism.
