Francis On Ecumenism: “Look Beyond Catholic Interests, Overcome Legacies Of The Past”

en.news6 years ago

Each Christian community has “a gift to offer" to the other denominations, Francis preached at an ecumenical prayer service concluding the annual “Week of Prayer for Christian Unity” on January 25.

He wants to “recognise, welcome and share these gifts” and asked the different Christian denominations to “look beyond partisan interests and overcome the legacies of the past.”

Francis presided vespers with the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Gennadios, the Anglican lay bishop Ian Ernest, and representatives of other Christian denominations.

The main "legacy of the past" are the Seven Sacraments and the Gospel.

The excommunicated antipope Francis makes another anti catholic rant.
Catholics should pray to Almighty God to rid the church of this boring pest.

...except he hasn't been "excommunicated" by anyone. If you mean he's excommunicated himself by the ideas he's advanced, the same is true for the last four popes including Benedict XVI.

The Council of Trent anathematizes anybody who promotes sacrilegious Holy Communion. Bergolio did that in Amoris Laetitia. He is therefore excommunicated .
No sitting pope has ever promulgated doctrinal heresy.
Your claim that four past popes in office have promulgated formal heresy is without proof and you consistently fail to provide even a specific single example of such.
Bergoglio possibly have been a sitting pope and if he was, he no longer is due to the publicly manifest canonical crime of formal heresy .
(Your continual failure to produce a single sample of formal heresy promulgated by a pope in office up to Benedict is becoming a joke..)

The Church is not a denomination. There are Protestant denominations.

As much as this destroyer strives, he will not destroy the Church, which is unfailing.

Dear Francis, The Catholic faith alone is the vehicle of salvation. To believe otherwise is to declare oneself a heretic.
