We would be thrilled to have the catholics enter our protestant churches. But “reconciliation” always seems to mean we will get to be Roman Catholic.

I agree. “Reconciliation” seems to mean that protestants will finally acknowledge the Pope as the leader of all Christian churches per current Catholic doctrine. The changes proposed would not induce me to become a Catholic or accept the Pope as the head of my church. I’m not sure to whom this OP is directed because removing “excommunications” from those excommunicated in the Reformation would not mean much to protestants - we don’t believe in it anyway.

Yeah...I'm not interested in being "welcomed back "home"".

My home is in heaven.
I am not interested in fealty to any person or organization other than Christ himself.

I agree. And they are always welcome in our church. But I will never a Catholic.

Hard headed? No. but I read my bible (similar but not totally same as Catholic’s) and don’t see where I cannot pray directly to God.

Other issue is illustrated by the current Jesuit Pope. The leftist view of the world. Not buying that.

I would like nothing better than Christian and Jew total cooperation.

There are a lot of current Muslims (by birth) who would choose to be Christians, if it did not cost them their lives. That is another issue.

And of course swear fealty to the Marxist Pope.

And do I get my ancestors back who got slaughtered in the anti-Baptist pogroms in Germany 300 years ago? Or the massacre in France on St. Bartholomew's day of my Huegenot ancestors? The one that drove them onto wooden ships out of Rotterdam and into the Atlantic to America?

In this case I am 99% sure he is talking about Catholics becoming Protestants.

Yup its everything but dealing directly with fundamental doctrinal differences, that are not minor ones.

**“reconciliation” always seems to mean we will get to be Roman Catholic.**

You are correct.
