Why does it seem that so many people preach on loving your neighbor and sacrificing yourself for others, then turn around and throw it straight out the window? What happened to Christian charity?
Do this person agree with what I believe is true? No. Do I agree with his beliefs completely? No. Can I show him truly what Catholicism teaches? Yes. Will he listen? That depends on him. Respect is key to dialogue. Especially with talk about ecumenism and anything relating to Christian unity and dialogue. When it appears that openness is there, but truly is not, then that is where it starts to decay.
How does this build up and edify Christ's kingdom on earth? It doesn't. So much for John 17! I'm sure that Christ just loves the fact that his body has been torn asunder. That's true unity! No! It's a plurality of individualism that is the cancer of modern Christianity. No wonder the world is the way it is. (Both sides can use help. Don't think I am attacking just one side.)
Only the Truth can set you free. One Truth. One Church. One Body. Open yourself up to God and his Church. He will lead you into all Truth if you let him. If not, good luck in your endeavors.
