Yeah, but then, we'd be separated from the Sacraments, and would no longer be in an apostolic Church.
And, judging from some of the arguments I've seen between different groups of Protestants here, I"m guessing it'd take more than that to "fix things up." :-)

My point is that the Good Friday service you mention masks the mammoth differences between Catholics, Protestants and Mormons. Ecumenism that whisks aside these vital doctrinal issues is not "good" in any real sense of the word. Unless you are using good in the sense that it is a good means to try to coaz people into the Catholic Church. In that case, what you term good the other groups would term sneaky.
Just a thought or two.

It strikes me that ecumenism ought to be practiced among those denominations that subscribe to the tenets of the Nicene Creed. If you have a problem with those tenets, I would say that it is questionable whether you are even Christian. Anyone can call themselves anything they want; some people call themselves Napoleon.
