Ecumenism has been the false religion of the post-Vatican II church for over 50 years. Most well-intentioned Catholics are unaware of the fact that they already subscribe to this non-Catholic belief that was promulgated by soon-to-be “canonized” Paul VI.
Yep, it is for sure if every thing they say is happening in so
many of the churches are true they are nothing but routes to
hell.
Some Orthodox reflections on true ecumenism...

Ummm, no thanks. There are plenty that wrongly claim Christianity or that say that the Bible is one of their Holy Books.... We are not to entertain or promote heresy. The Bible can even be pretty harsh in how to deal with heretics:
Beware of deceivers: “If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.” - John 1:10
Thanks for the links. The Second Vatican Council has totally abused the word, “ecumenism”.
Early Ecumenism-Before the Second Vatican Council
Before the Second Vatican Council, ecumenism was defined as a relationship with other Christian groups for the goal of unity of the Church. The purpose of these relationships was to draw misguided Christians back to the Holy See to a unity that they had broken as a result of their disobedience to the Church.4 The duty of maintaining the unity of the Christian Church was considered imperative before the Second Vatican Council. As early as A.D. 1274 at the Council of Lyons and again in A.D. 1438 at the Council of Florence, the Eastern Churches developed a plan with Rome for reunion. The plans for unity from both councils were unsuccessful in convincing the leadership of the Eastern Churches to reunite with Rome.5
