[Mr. Lucky]

The irony of all of this is that these disease ridden perverts have done more to bring unity to Christ's Church than all efforts at ecuminicism over the past five centuries combined.

[sinkspur]

Anybody ever seen a more self-absorbed bunch than these gays?

It's hard to like some of them as PEOPLE, regardless of their sexual orientation.

He is quite a g-g-good actor.

He stuttered in "Breaking the Code", too.

Huh? Ecumenism is not a characteristic that the Catholic Church desires, in fact it is looked upon as anathema. And how have homosexuals brought unity to any church? Make-a-no-sense-a.

Ecumenism "anathema" in the post-Vatican II Catholic Church???

Oh boy, are you going to get it....

[Notwithstanding]

Depends on your definition of ecumenism.

For some of us it means the unity in Him that Christ longs us to have. GOOD!

] For others it is abandoning doctrines in order to get along. BAD!

[Hacksaw]

Wow - these people sure have their panties in a knot.

As liberal as the ABA is, I would reckon that ABA accreditation will be a long, tough process for them.

Did Regent's Law School have a hard time getting accredidation? That is the school where the ACLJ is based.

[Orual]

Oh boy, are you going to get it....

Yes, I know. Just waiting for the hounds to begin barking.

This BREAKING NEWS should be of interest to you, my friend:

No, it depends on the definition of ecumenism:

Main Entry: ecu.me.nism
Pronunciation: e-'kyü-m&-"ni-z&m, i- also 'e-ky&- or "e-ky&-'me-
Function: noun
Date: 1948

: ecumenical principles and practices especially as shown among religious groups (as Christian denominations)

Bad. Very, very baaaad.

[ArGee]

This decision continues to show how out of touch, mean-spirited and in denial the Church is.

I think Soddom had the same complaint about G-d.

Right before the fire fell.

Shalom.

Work with me - you used to word to define itself - define it without using the word. What do you mean by "ecumenical"?

[Orual]

What is there about the dictionary definition you don't understand?

[Notwithstanding]

you used "ecumenical" to define "ecumenism"

When I was a littleboy I was always corrected for using the same word in its definition.

I would like to know how you define ecumenism, ecumenical, etc.

[Orual]

It was not I who used the word itself to define ecumenism. I gave you the dictionary definition - take your complaint up with Merriam-Webster. Here is their definition of "ecumenical" which was included in their definition of "ecumenism":

1 : worldwide or general in extent, influence, or application
2 a : of, relating to, or representing the whole of a body of churches
b : promoting or tending toward worldwide Christian unity or cooperation

Now, is it clear?

Michigan homosexual activists lashed out at the Catholic Church on multiple fronts recently, saying the American Family Association and Ave Maria Foundation have an “unholy alliance” and that many Catholics “feel their faith is being perverted by a bigoted millionaire,” a clear reference to Thomas Monaghan, chairman of the Ave Maria Foundation.

Homosexual activists feel the Catholic faith is being perverted by Monaghan? Good grief, hand these perverts a mirror.

Using your Merriam-Webster definition as the touchstone, may I ask in all sincerity, which part of the concept you find so repugnant?

The idea of cooperation between religions has implicit in it an acceptance of the doctrines and practices of all Chrisitian faiths, indeed every religion on earth. As an example, when the Pope kisses the Koran, he is symbolically accepting Islam, a religion that speaks of Christ as a prophet, but does not accept Him as the Messiah, the Son of God. That is totally inimical with Catholic belief. It was an unacceptable gesture by the Pope. It fits in with the feel-good "can't we all be friends" philosophy. The answer to that is, no, we can't all be a big family of friends.

The Vatican II Bishop's Council promoted ecumenism. It Protestantized the Sacred Liturgy so that in some Novus Ordo Churches, the Mass is almost unrecognizable. Either you are totally a Catholic, or a Protestant, or a Baptist or a Buddhist - you can't believe in all, otherwise you believe in nothing.
