Headline not exactly accurate. The first sentence states that ...."there is no longer any impediment to Eucharistic communion which cannot be overcome through prayer, the purification of hearts, dialogue and the affirmation of truth".
I understand this to mean that there are still impediments but they can be overcome (in the future) through the above mentioned means.
Sweet! So this Baptist can eat the stale bread and knock back a shot right along with everyone else...
Oh, man, I first read that title as "No Impediments Remain to Full Communism, Pope Tells Orthodox Patriarch".
With this Pope, is almost made sense.
The Catholic Church needs to complete the restoration of full communion? Um, no. That is not Catholic teaching. Catholic teaching is that the Catholic Church is already one and all outside of it must enter it (including the Orthodox).
The headline is a lie. Headline writers take us for fools.
It is awesome to see Francis take the church back from the supercatholics and sexually disturbed.
How many people did Jesus refuse to share the last supper with?
