It insists the "core distinctions" between Luther and the 16th-century Roman Catholic church "remain between modern-day evangelicals and Catholics despite efforts at reconciliation". The statement marked a notably different tone to that of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York who called for repentance for the division. They lamented the "lasting damage done five centuries ago to the unity of the Church, in defiance of the clear command of Jesus Christ to unity in love".

The reason there won't be a full reconciliation is because the Roman Catholic church will accept nothing less than capitulation to their dogmas - regardless of their Scriptural basis - and fealty to the Pope as the leader of all Christendom. We shouldn't kid ourselves that Rome is or ever was really serious about "unity" - the differences remain and are non-negotiable.
