The 16 Documents of Vatican II

Resolution 

Reflection 395 Based on the 1965 Vatican II document: 
Decree on Eastern Churches
- Articles 25-26
(Comments welcome here)

 

One line of 25, 26 caught my eye:

"lest because of the harshness of our judgment we be an obstacle to those seeking salvation" (or unity)

Jesus was not harsh with the Samaritan woman or the woman caught in adultery or the man lowered through the roof or the apostles

One way to promote unity among Christians: avoid harsh words about and towards other Christians.

Jesus, please help all Christians, especially Christian leaders, avoid harsh words/judgments
