Reflection
 368:  Article 3 of Decree on Ecumenism, Unitatis Redintegratio, 1964

 

This article reminds us

- hat lack of unity was a problem from the earliest days of Christianity

- big splits were the fault of people on both sides (Catholic and other)

- all who have been justified by faith in Baptism are members of Christ's body,
and have a right to be called Christian,
and so are correctly accepted as brethren by the children of the Catholic Church.

Jesus, please help all Christians to respect each other and work for church unity
