LA Times: Benedict Urges Dialogue Among Christians
At his first mass outside Rome:
'We cannot communicate with the Lord if we are not communicating among ourselves,' he told tens of thousands of followers gathered for the open-air celebration in the seaport of Bari. 'I ask all of you to decisively take the path of spiritual ecumenism, which in prayer will open the door to the Holy Spirit, who alone can create unity.
John Paul the Great hoped that Christianity could "breathe with two lungs". Perhaps Benedict XVI will succeed in fulfilling that Hope. Praise be to God if he can. All Christians must unite in our Foolishness if we are save the Reasonable from themselves. Rather, Christ will save them best through us when we are united with each other in Him.
