Christian Unity: it's the catholic thing to do

I've spoken before and posted articles on this blog about the progress of the Anglican ordinariate. With a strong desire for Christian unity, Pope Benedict XVI has worked tirelessly to dialogue with peoples of faith. It was through his efforts that we have seen the conversion of Anglicans world-wide with a recent profound impact in the United Kingdom.

Pope Benedict XVI has been in close dialogue with not just Anglicans. Now word comes of an Anglo-Lutheran group coming into full communion with Rome. You can read so much more here: http://www.catholic.org/hf/faith/story.php?id=40492&page=1


In addition to this group, the Vatican continues to work with the Orthodox and those SSPX folks who can come home to Rome.

There are many Catholic sites and facebook posters that want to scream and holler about the sky falling, no good news and how the Church is falling apart. Despite all of her warts, all the painful events she endures because of human failure, the Church endures, grows and propspers. This is the eternal promise of Christ Himself.

With well over 1 billion Catholics and growing, with the renewed interest in the faith, the eucharist and liturgical worship, she will continue to grow.
